Lake Ontario Waterkeeper

"The Liberal government’s preoccupation with saving electricity is undermining other energy conservation efforts, warns Environment Commissioner Gord Miller.

In a 70-page report released Monday – entitled Rethinking Energy Conservation In Ontario – that criticizes the province for not doing enough to encourage Ontarians to use less gasoline and other fuels, Miller said it is time for a policy revamp.

“The government’s approach to energy conservation is uncoordinated and improvised with no clear plan,” he said in a statement.

Miller said Queen’s Park needs to examine ways to conserve oil, propane, natural gas, and gasoline.

“We are too focused on electricity. We need a strategy that addresses conservation of all sources of energy,” he said."
