Why not keep our energy?

When it comes to our oil, natural gas, hydro electric power or wind energy.  Why can’t we keep it at home then sell the surplus.  Instead we are in a situation where Canadians are exposed to the rise and fall of energy costs and only a few benefit from it.

Steal from the Green Party
