Ontario exports a significant amount of electricity to the U.S. each year. In 2022, Ontario sent about 15.7 million megawatt-hours (MWh) across the border, the overwhelming majority of it being hydroelectricity. Which, if my math is correct, is roughly 1.3-1.4 million yankee households worth of electricity.
Why the fuck is my electric bill so high when we're selling electricity to America? Have them cover it.
How much are you paying for hydro out east each month if you don't mind me asking?
Here in BC when I was apartment renting it was only like $50 a month, but now that I'm in a much bigger place and have to pay for my own heat/hot water it's like 3 or 4 times that
Like orange man gives a fuck about us peasants.
Gonna be an awful lot of people learning to put together a solar setup for their house, assuming of course that it won't be tariffed to unaffordability
Buy some basic battery/inverter/panels stuff if you can afford it now
I'm a beginner too, but I like Will Prowse on YouTube. Start there. Knowledgeable guy and he bases recommendations on build quality
I just bought enough stuff to have a small setup for power outages for a day or two. Will pay for itself if it saves our freezers from thawing
