These two realities, climate change and volatile energy prices, have a common denominator in fossil fuels. Even without carbon pricing, wind power is set to be 40 per cent cheaper than gas-fired power in Alberta and Ontario by 2030. They also share a common solution. These results are important for a few reasons.
