There is a problem there. That's a nice consensus builder, but it doesn't work. If people can't agree on the cause, it makes it hard to get political force behind a solution.
And this is one of those issues that sways with the economy. When Ontario was a have province, we were all for getting rid of the coal power plants. Now that we are a have not province after the downturn in the economy and the loss of much of our manufacturing industries, many people are angry at the Liberals for spending so much government money on "green power". When the economy is good, we'll believe the scientists. When the economy is not so good, it's a conspiracy.
