In a climate era, we must move towards a 100% renewable energy future, as Norway and Sweden are doing. The good news is that we can do it in Ontario too.

First off we must priorize conservation and efficiency measures to reduce demand. This is the lowest cost way to go renewable and lower rates and emissions.

This also means phasing out our aging nuclear stations when they come to the end of their lives.

Pickering must be shuttered in 2018 when its current licence expires and replaced with much lower cost, lower emission and safer water power from Quebec.

The Darlington and Bruce nuclear rebuilds should be cancelled and replaced with an integrated combination of water and wind power from Quebec, energy efficiency investments and cost-effective Made-in-Ontario green energy.
