From the article: it’s still cost effective for ratepayers, given how cheap hydro is and how expensive and volatile fossil gas is.

Having been extremely lucky to spend 16 of the last 18 years at institutions with this benefit (in Pittsburgh and Boston), it is life-changing, particularly when introduced in undergrad. Buy transit passes, not parking lots.

anyone incarcerated for more than two years is going to return to their google account deleted, and with it most connection to family, jobs, memories and everything else that allows for readjustment

Build. It. Now. ~$350m with basic cut & cover to unlock tons of capacity in the core from not overloading the OL and GL for Red-Blue transfers! No brainer!
