Commission co-chair Bill Thompson tells CHSJ News they heard three major themes time and time again........price, impact on the environment and the need for proper regulations to ensure the public interest is protected.
Thompson says the commission will be seeking outside expertise to avoid the law of unintended consequences.
Peter Vihvelin is with the wind energy company Wind Dynamics and he says going green is a smart direction for the province to pursue.
Gordon Dalzell of the Clean Air Coalition agrees protecting the environment is top of mind for most people and it will be a delicate balancing job for the province. He suggests buying cheap, clean energy from other jurisdictions could be a way to bring down power costs and shut down heavy polluters.
