I have two priorities when it comes to Ontario's Energy Plan:
1) Ontario’s next energy plan should empower everyone from citizens and co-ops to municipalities and First Nations to become energy producers. It should empower communities like Oxford County that want to go 100% renewable.
2) Come Clean on Nuclear Costs. The biggest barrier to shifting Ontario to 100% renewable energy is the government’s current commitment to nuclear power. While the cost of renewables keeps declining, the cost of nuclear power has only ever gone up. Despite this, the government’s past energy plans have made no requirement for nuclear projects to undergo public review against alternatives. This needs to change.
Ontario’s next energy plan needs to ensure there are a full and fair comparisons of the total costs of nuclear with alternatives and an opportunity for the public to have a say about which approach they prefer.
Thank you,
Jackie Ramler
