I want to see Ontario begin the process of becoming 100% renewable immediately!  Others locally and around the world (Oxford County, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Costa Rica for example) are leading the way - it's time for us to act!

 

I am very concerned about the cost, feasibility and safety of continuing to rely on aging nuclear reactors to provide electricity!!  Imagine the devastating effects on human lives, the Great Lakes and ecosystems if there was an accident/incident at any of Ontario's reactors, or with spent fuel that remains radioactive for thousands of years!

 

Nuclear is an extremely high cost, high risk source of energy, and the costs keep increasing. Renewables are low cost and low risk, and their costs continue to decrease.  Cost effectiveness, conservation, safety and efficiency should be the basis for Ontario's energy decisions.

 

Going 100% renewable is the right path for Ontario to fight climate change and end our reliance on risky and costly nuclear power.
