Let's start at the point we want to reach:  CLEAN ENERGY FOR ONTARIO within 10-15 years.

How do we get there?  By providing incentives for the use of alternative power sources, while cutting down our reliance on fossil fuels.

Take a hard line with our southern neighbours who want to reverse the progress towards this goal - don't allow US vehicles with no hybrid or electric capabilities to enter our country.  Don't allow their dirty oil to be sold or used here.

Take a hard line with electricity providers here.  Make it too expensive to heat monster homes. Force the super rich to live more modestly, while subsidizing heating for the poor during this changeover period.

Don't weep for Alberta.  They have blown many opportunities over the years (e.g. not having a sales tax) while permitting many foreign oil corporations to destroy huge swathes of pristine forest/tundra.  I've seen it, I've flown over it, and it is a sight from Dante's inferno.   And what about the destruction of indigenous lands?

I am very disappointed in Ontario's governments for not acknowledging the issue and doing the right thing.   Personally, I want to see radical action.  Anyone who does not like this can move out of the province!
