Ontario must move off fossil fuel dependence as fast as possible and stop investing in nuclear.  No nuclear development or refurbishment has come in on budget.  Nuclear should be sun settled as soon as possible.  Nuclear waste is only a long term problem and drain of resources.

We have the technology to move to renewable sources and we need the jobs to get there.

Also, instead of extending the electrical grid to remote communities, we should develop onsite renewable sources so they are completely off the grid:  solar, wind, and geothermal.

To prevent risk of terrorist disruption, energy production should be decentralized.  I should have solar and a battery at my house.  Investing in conservation is a quick return, lowers our carbon footprint, improves housing stock and puts people to work.

We can do this; be brave.
