Hudak to reveal plan for hydro bill relief
The Tories have been promising to give families some kind of break from rising energy costs, but until now have not been specific about their plans.
PC Leader Tim Hudak will soon reveal his exact measures to trim soaring electricity bills, which are slated to jump 46 per cent in the next five years.
Hudak promised to scrap the Liberal governmentÂ’s $7-billion green energy deal with South Korean giant Samsung and to stop offering huge premiums for wind and solar power.
The Liberals say that will cost the province thousands of jobs and scare off international investors from OntarioÂ’s growing manufacturing base for components for green energy projects.
Hudak has already promised to let people opt out of time-of-use pricing for electricity if the Conservatives win the October 6 election, calling so-called smart meters nothing but tax machines.

Experiment Shows We Can Actually Generate Electricity From The Night Sky
LONDON - There's a stark contrast between the freezing temperatures of space and the relatively balmy atmosphere of Earth, and that contrast could help generate electricity, scientists say – utilizing the same optoelectronic physics used in solar panels.The obvious difference this would have compared with solar energy is that it would work during the night time, a potential source of renewable power that could keep on going round the clock and regardless of weather conditions.
Solar panels are basically large-scale photodiodes - devices made out of a semiconducting material that converts the photons (light particles) coming from the Sun into electricity…
