The government should…

The government should actively persue decentralization of the electricity grid so that individuals and communities can feed in renewable energy and Ontario as a whole can move toward a renewable energy based grid.  This would include facilitating replacing diesel with wind and solar power up north in remote communities in lieu of replacing aging transmission lines.

The amount of nuclear energy in Ontario's mix needs to be decreased as it is extremely expensive and furthermore selling it below cost to Michigan is a waste.  I fully support connecting more fully the energy grid between Ontario and Quebec (and Manitoba) in order that we can import hydro from Quebec to replace some of the nuclear power we have.  Pickering needs to be closed soon as it is old and too close to a major population centre.

The government should focus also on energy efficiency in buildings and homes.  Government run programs should be made available.  Relying on private energy companies is not sufficient.
