Energy Probe’s Executive Director Lawrence Solomon on CBC TV today at 5:30 p.m.

(Oct. 15, 2010) Torontonians experience 10 to 15 times as many blackouts as their city counterparts in London, England. Why? The London power system is both privatized and well regulated.

Tune in at 5:30 p.m. later today for the full interview on CBC TV.
