The Government does seem to be supporting the solar industry at long last, and certainly at SolarUK there has been increased interest in solar photovoltaics recently as a result of the new Feed-in Tariff which comes into operation in April. Hopefully the Government's interest in the potential of solar will see it foster a homegrown manufacturing sector: the wind energy sector may generate jobs, but they tend to be overseas ones which isn't exactly ideal.

The unemployeed trades people from what was once a manufacturing enviroment need work. But not just in Ont but in the neighbouring locations of Michigan and New York. Ontario is wise and needs no luck in getting a deal we just need to face what is required to get this industry before our province is so poor for work with the next opportunity we'll have to deal away more.
