Ontario’s Long Term Energy…

Ontario’s Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP) can provide a positive legacy for future generations.  This is possible if Ontario leaders commit to promptly phasing out nuclear energy.

The financial and environmental costs of nuclear energy are horrendous.

There is no sensible, sustainable method to deal with the huge quantity of radioactive wastes produced.  Water is negatively affected by temperature changes and contaminants from producing nuclear energy.  Funding projects to “manage” waste and water problems caused from producing nuclear energy is very expensive.

Further costs associated with the nuclear agenda include federal and provincial subsidizes, which continue to guarantee exorbitant pay cheques to sustain the same group of atomic advocates pushing to maintain this outdated system.

Nuclear energy poses an unnecessary risk to human health and the environment – unnecessary because safer, more sustainable and more affordable energy options are available.

Ontario taxpayers can no longer afford the huge price of nuclear energy!

Members of the public want nuclear facilities decommissioned and the mounds of the dangerous nuclear wastes stored on-site until such time as a safe solution is found for that material.

Members of the public want existing reactors replaced with renewable energy options.

A phase-out of nuclear energy is imminent and urgent!

Ontario leaders can promise a brighter future by developing a LTEP that makes conservation a top priority along with 100% renewable energy.

Adopting a plan for 100% renewable energy will help Ontario to fight climate change and end our reliance on risky and costly nuclear power.

Let’s join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy so Ontario can take pride in leaving a promising future for the next generation.
