Yes indeed, we need a 100% renewable energy policy for Ontario.  I prefer conservation and renewables over dirty, dangerous nuclear and fossil fuels.

According to David Suzuki, "Nuclear power creates radioactive waste for which there is no accepted method of safely managing or storing.  It is also prohibitively expensive.

Sustainability requires conservation and abundant energy employed with minimal ecological upset." Suzuki continues:  "If our leaders are serious about long-term health and prosperity, they need to stop focusing on short-term profits from rapid fossil fuel development and export and start engaging in serious conversations about our energy future."

I am pleased that the Ontario government is working proactively towards renewables.

On the democracy front however, there needs to be a substantial makeover.  We need a voting system based on proportional representation.  It's long past the time when this should have happened.
