Moving to green electricity will mean higher costs for consumers. That’s from a staff memo sent to federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“As the economy transitions to net zero by 2050 there will be increased demand for clean electricity to decarbonize other sectors such as transportation or buildings,” said the March 27 memo. “Some experts are predicting that demand could double by 2050.”
