Need transportation-specific energy incentives

March 7, 2016 by 1 Comment

The transportation sector is the biggest contributor to PEI’s carbon emissions at around 40% – and about 36% of total energy consumption on the Island.

Energy incentives are needed to encourage consumers to move to transportation options that produce less carbon emissions.  For example, the Ontario government has an Electric Vehicle Incentive Program.

    Ontario is an example of what not to do re. renewables and emissions. It took a clean low cost public owned electricity system and ignored engineers in favour of wind and solar corporations. They jammed large amounts of intermittent RE onto the grid and drove the price of electricity to a point that people are turning to gas ,propane or wood wherever possible and charging an EV is so much more expensive than running a fossil fuel vehicle that you need very large subsidies to make it happen.
    Forget the subsidies and make the cleanest sources of energy the cheapest for people across the board.
