Talk about incentive and rewards for Hamilton.
It would sell itself and be cutting edge. Force other cities to compete.
As for us citizens, Guelph has a co-op group for buying solar in bulk for the club/co-op.

Hmmm... I've been thinking of this for some time now. My uncle-in-law works for a Dutch windmill company (how stereotypical, huh?) and is currently in China selling loads of windmills to them.
I've always wondered, what with all the flat, brownfields, no mountains to block the wind, our proximity to the water and this towns built-in, blue-collar population, why don't we start making our own energy? We could be the Engine of Canada once again.
Anyone (engineers, perhaps?) have any thoughts on this? I don't know enough about it to start saying this-or-that about it. It just seems quite fitting for Hamilton.
