Dear Minister and all…

Dear Minister and all Ontario government representatives and leaders:

For our future and the future of our children and all fellow citizens and inhabitants of this

ONLY livable planet earth, we are calling upon the honorable Minister of Energy and all of you in our Ontario government to show true leadership and join the global movement towards 100% renewable energy. The biggest barrier to shifting Ontario to 100% renewable energy is the government’s current commitment to nuclear power.

Those advocating nuclear and fossil fuel alternatives in short term pursuit of their own corporate agenda and financial gains are ignoring the proven and ongoing devastation and harm resulting from such alternatives,

We are calling upon Ontario government and the Minister of Energy that Ontario’s next Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) will acknowledge that going 100% renewable is a viable option for Ontario’s energy future, and:

Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy.

Ontario’s next energy plan needs to come clean on the true cost of nuclear power and help citizens and communities to empower themselves with renewable energy.

Ontario’s next energy plan needs to remove barriers to citizens and communities becoming energy self-sufficient. We want Ontario to take the renewable path to a low-carbon future.

Please see the following information in support of the global movement towards 100% renewable energy:
