The Ontario government will spend more than $7-billion over four years
on a sweeping climate change plan that will affect every aspect of life –
from what people drive to how they heat their homes and workplaces – in
a bid to slash the province’s carbon footprint.
Ontario will begin phasing out natural gas for heating, provide
incentives to retrofit buildings and give rebates to drivers who buy
electric vehicles. It will also require that gasoline sold in the
province contain less carbon, bring in building code rules requiring all
new homes by 2030 to be heated with electricity or geothermal systems,
and set a target for 12 per cent of all new vehicle sales to be electric
by 2025...http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ontario-to-spend-7-billion-in-sweeping-climate-change-plan/article30029081/
