Hydro Costs

Among the many things that the provincial government is arguing and debating about is the cost of hydro. The government is claiming that old meters did not accurately meter the hydro being used. Well, okay but if you look at a hydro bill most of the costs are not the actual hydro being used. The costs are other fixed costs that no amount of fiddling with times of usage would change. I think that the government needs to look at the hydro bills carefully. The fixed costs have risen a great deal and this has nothing to do with meters and how smart they are.
The New Democrats asked that the HST be removed from hydro bills and the government does not seem to be budging at that either.
Wonder what other things the government will increase?
