Ontario needs to develop a plan for renewable energy!

A climate friendly plan is needed to ensure a future for our children. It is our social responsibility to develop a plan for clean renewable energy for Ontario. Prices of wind and solar are decreasing and in the long run will be a better investment of public funds. We need to take action now.

I would like to see a plan for replacing nuclear energy. It is far too risky a source of energy and I am completely uncomfortable with this as a source of energy. How can we choose to continue to generate radioactive waste. How can we choose to accept the risk of a nuclear accident (e.g., Chernobyl, Fukushima). We cannot ignore the risk as accidents are not 100% preventable; accidents do happen. Even a small risk of occurrence is too significant to ignore given the enormous negative impact a nuclear accident would have on our health and environment not to mention the huge financial cost we would assume in order to contain an accident.
