Premier Asking for Federal Support on Green Plan

Premier Dalton McGuinty says the Province will review the impact of its Green Energy Act on struggling towns in Northern Ontario, where there are fears more industries could close because of rising electricity prices.
McGuinty adds there will be opportunities for people in Northern communities to help build new transmission lines.
Ontario is asking the Federal Government to use next month’s budget to fund green energy projects in the province.
McGuinty says if Ottawa is going to provide financial support for unproven technologies to capture carbon emissions in Western Canada, it should also support green energy initiatives like solar farms.
