I may have a bit of an advantage, having worked in the energy industry for a little while. The reality is that the new generation of renewables is no more expensive than building new infrastructure for conventional fuels. The challenge is that it's expensive to build everything now. It's less about what the new generation costs are and more about what our long-term infrastructure for delivery of electricity is. We have a crumbling infrastructure in this country, and we have challenges surrounding interprovincial intertie. It's easier to send electricity to the U.S. than it is to send it across provinces. Those are certainly some issues we need to consider, because electricity can be produced in some provinces a lot more effectively than in other provinces and still meet the same requirements for GHG emissions.
