If they wanted to increase the use of electricity, they need to make a lot more of it so it's the cheaper alternative. They're liars though, so they keep saying things like "this is the cheapest form of energy" when it's not true because otherwise everyone would just use that, and instead just ban the cheaper alternatives.

Manitoba and Quebec have had adequetely inexpensive electric, by having hydroelectric. It's relatively common in those regions to have electric heat because the electricity was cheap enough to justify it.

By contrast, Ontario had reasonably priced electricity, and "went green" with the latest new thing and now people are moving to gas heat because they can no longer afford their heating bills.

Ontario is nuclear previously backed up by gas with a mix of some hydro, but the big problem with hydroelectric isn't that it can't be done up here, it's that the greenies decided hydroelectric didn't let you destroy capitalism so they oppose it.

If bloody Manitoba can have primarily hydroelectric, there's no reason why the much larger and much less densely packed Ontario couldn't as well. But if we did that then the dams would be built and people have cheap power and you can't stick your nose in other people's lives anymore.

In the 1970s a bunch of hippies moved to nature communes. It turns out they hated nature almost as much as they hated communism.
