One of the problems, as Mr. Pineau said, is the cost of electricity. In itself, the cost is rising. It remains low compared to the cost of oil, but the question is how we ensure that all citizens can benefit from it. If you had a large vehicle, converted it to electric power and electricity prices rose, you would still make significant savings. If you lived in town and didn't own a vehicle, the rise in electricity prices would be a net loss. I believe it is absolutely essential to consider those programs and how to redistribute these resources fairly.
Planners also need to understand that it is not possible to fine-tune electricity production and demand. We will need to produce more electricity than we need initially to facilitate this. Here too, there are tensions over who will pay for the supply during these periods.
