In what has to be very painful to Detroit and Ontario, the new Canadian Budget, proposes to provide rebates of upto $2000 for the purchase of hybrid vehicles and to levy fees from $1000-$4000 on vehicles that don’t meet fuel standards.  There will be no levy on pick up trucks. 

While moves such as these should help reduce the production of greenhouse gas, the pale compared to zero emission solar and wind.  It was disappointed that a Conservative government that wants to look green would do more to promote wind power and even solar. Given the country’s huge oil reserves, using and creating clean, renewable energy and equipment, could eliminate most of Canada’s oil use.
