Dear Leaders,   I know…

Dear Leaders,

I know that going to %100 renewable energy for Ontario is a huge task. It will take some organization but I believe you are up to the challenge.

The cost of renewable energy is going down all the time due to the fact that people are switching and the demand is higher. The expense to change over is great as we taxpayers feel it already but we have to look at the big picture.

Please use the revenue from the carbon tax; even allocating some of it to this, will go a long way in getting down to our share of the climate agreement.

We see the difference in getting rid of our coal-fired plants as there are no smog days as of late.

Have you thought of turning off unnecessary street lighting (timers)? What about mandating the use of LED street lights. Some regions have been leaders in this regard. If this was mandated perhaps it would happen sooner. Maybe the lights left on in the high-rise towers of big cities could be mandated off during late hours (Toronto could use the fine money ;))?

It costs less to turn off the lights and conserve than it does to change the way we produce electricity.

Thanks very much,

MR.
