I want Ontario’s next Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) to acknowledge that going 100% renewable is a viable option for Ontario’s energy future.
Efforts should be made towards:
1. Putting conservation first: we are capable of reducing our electricity consumption by 30% by 2035 if cost-effective conservation efforts are put in place
2. Empowering communities and residents to go 100% renewable by allowing them and supporting efforts to become energy producers with retro-fit programs.
3. Moving away from nuclear power: the nuclear plants in Ontario are old and expansive, and they become riskier as they age. It is the smart move and most profitable option to closed them instead of keeping them open at the expense of higher energy costs. We do not need the energy produced by nuclear plants anyway. Therefore, Pickering should be closed by 2020.
