text: Many times during the year Ontario has a surplus of electricity since it is forced to buy electricity generated by wind power producers whether it is needed or not by its Green Energy Act contracts. This surplus electricity is then sold to Michigan and New York below the price that Ontario pays wind power producers which is recovered from Ontario electricity ratepayers. At times Ontario is even forced to pay Michigan and New York to take its surplus power. This practice is an export subsidy and is costing Ontario electricity ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Here is an area where Trump might actually do some good if he stops Ontario from dumping its electricity on the US market and ends this waste of Ontario electricity ratepayers' money.
