Harper should save energy first

Prime Minister Harper should be saving energy first and foremost

To the editor:

I am writing regarding the Conservative’s Budget 2012.

Do we want oil sands first, or do we want to save energy first?

Ask yourself, should Canada spend tens and tens of billions of dollars to produce more energy? Or should we save energy first?

It seems Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesn’t get it.

The Harper government prematurely closed the popular ecoENERGY Retrofit program. It’s investment in energy-saving home retrofits was less than half of what it promised.

Canada’s home retrofit industry is asking Mr. Harper to continue the successful ecoENERGY program for another three years as part of Budget 2012.
