Every house in the province needs better insulation. There must be major government help with this program which must start now.
Conservation in the new LTEP must REALLY come first - before any more nuclear refurbishments are made. More conservation incentives are required from the natural gas providers of electricity - see OCAA for guidance.The OPA/IESO/OPG must also give incentives for persons wanting to install solar hot water systems.
A 180% increase in the cost of electricity, because of the nuclear rebuilding is unacceptable. Wind and solar are still dropping in costs, and are very close to competing with nuclear in many places, including Ontario.
Larger amounts of electricity must be bought from QUEBEC.(5 Cents/kwh cannot be ignored!) Solar and wind must get more chances to power the grid as nuclear reactors are phased out, as they come to the end of their service. P.ickering must be decommissioned now, to help keep nuclear jobs.
Pellet stoves & furnaces must get more publicity for rural users.
Selling off parts of Hydro One must stop.
I believe that Ontario can go to 100% renewables by 2030 - I am seeing it happening.
