It is time to stop stalling on renewable energy. This is all about climate change, and what state we are going to leave this in Earth for future generations. It also means tens of thousands of good jobs for Ontario if this government would just get off the pot and start transitioning away from fossil fuels.

I fail to understand why we are trying to increase nuclear capacity, when we are already overproducing electricity, and paying other jurisdictions to take it off of our hands. This government needs to do some explaining.

On a similar subject, what is the rationale for selling off Ontario Hydro? Money can be borrowed at 3%, and Ontario Hydro gives a 9% to 11% rate of return. The economics just don't make sense, and neither does selling what should be a public utility to private interests.
