Many, prossibly a majority of people will look at that chart and say, "Good for New Brunswick," but that is what keeps us at the top of the 'have-not' list. EVs, windmills, solar power, are all industries that cannot exist on their own yet, but eventually they will. We can subsidize them or we can accept a massive increase in power rates, which amounts to the same thing to a taxpayer, and let the jobs go elsewhere. The balance is difficult, if not impossible to get right, but subsidies are part of any governments calculation, and we must accept that the princess kissed a lot of frogs before she found her prince!
