In a dramatic policy reversal, Premier Doug Ford now says he wants to more than double wind power electricity generation.
But unlike the Liberals who over-ruled local municipal councils, he will grant them a veto on proposed projects. So far about 150 have enacted bylaws opposing them.
When Ford took office, he cancelled projects that were in process under the Liberals.
The Ford government has apparently realized it will need more electricity to power the electric cars it wants to be made in Ontar
The change in policy is being directed by cabinet member Stephen Lecce who was shifted from education to energy earlier this summer.
