Great "New" Environment Plan in PEI

PEI Premier Robert Ghiz revealed his "new" energy plan today. Oh. Wait. No he didn't. He opened a $200,000 (of my hard earned) taxpayer-funded office to help people get information on energy conservation and renamed two old PC programs from 2005 or so.

So, Robert Ghiz's environment program currently includes: delaying the opening of a big and wonderful and bond-funded windmill project, cutting the tax on gas, so it's cheaper to drive everywhere (while everyone who knows two things about the environment knows that driving needs to be MORE expensive to encourage conservation), driving too many cars all over the place, spending $200,000 for an office to do what I can do online from anywhere in the world and renaming two PC programs. The amount of effort is amazing, but when will we get handouts of CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, or even LED ones that we can dim and save energy? Or how about an incentive to replace old vehicles with newer, fuel efficient ones, while guaranteeing that the old car would be scrapped and recycled? Come on, people! When this Government saves its first tonne of CO2 emissions, I'll consider changing my vote. Note the word consider.
