Solar energy does, however, cost more to ratepayers than the alternatives,” says Tim Wohlgemut, Co-Founder of ClearSky Advisors. “The question to Ontario households is whether the job creation, lessened environmental impact and reduced healthcare expenses are worth the additional costs to their electricity bill.” To arrange an interview with Mr. Wohlgemut, please contact: ClearSky Advisors Phone: (877) 333-5821 Email: research@clearskyadvisors.com About ClearSky Advisors ClearSky Advisors is an independent research and advisory firm focused on renewable energy.
