$6 TOMATOES

MANOTICK — SunTech Greenhouse owner Bob Mitchell installed LED lights — his bright pink greenhouse lights lit up the night sky — two years ago to grow tomatoes year round. He switched off the lights last fall when he pencilled out that his Hydro One electricity bill was about to soar. The price of hydro spiked from 16 cents per kilowatt hour to 27 cents per kw/h starting last October. He figured his hydro bill from last October to the end of February this year was going to cost him $250,000.
