The Government of Ontario has given some positive signals on the energy front: coal- powered plants are being phased out and the Premier has called for a culture of conservation. Ontario must take the next step on this path with a smart, green approach. Jurisdictions like California and Europe, which faced energy challenges earlier than Ontario, can point the way.
Critical long-term decisions about Ontario’s energy future are being made right now. The time has come for Premier McGuinty and the Ontario Government to lead the way to a smart, green energy future without coal or nuclear power that will keep
the lights on and protect Ontario’s health, environment and economy.
