Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy. We are falling behind with every dithering delay.
I implore someone in the Ministry to read: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/dec/03/uruguay-makes-dramatic-shift-to-nearly-95-clean -energy?CMP=share_btn_fb
The Guardian article is a year old, however, it proves that Ontario is capable of matching Uruguay's amazing and brilliant conversion to solar, wind and biomass energy generation.
More and more communities, countries and companies are opting to go 100% renewable. Ontario’s next energy plan should put policies in place to enable citizens, communities and First Nations to go 100% renewable. This would eliminate the expensive and destructive building of transmission lines to northern First Nations. These transmission lines further fragment the boreal forest causing serious and unnecessary disruption to animal habitat. Disturbance of muskeg is NOT a wise option, as it releases large amounts of carbon.

It's imperative for your Ministry to actually take REAL steps to help secure Ontario's future energy needs, sustainably...and now.
