As I citizen of of Ontario, I am expressing my concern for wanting Ontario to switch to 100% renewable energy production in the province.

I want to be clear that by 100% renewable energy, I do not include natural gas as that type of energy source.  As nuclear power does provide most of the energy for our province, it still has many negative effects towards the health of our environment.  Not only would switching to 100% renewable energy provide cleaner air, land, and water for the people of Ontario, it can also provide jobs in the implementation and maintenance of these renewable sources of energy.  Having these sources of energy would also decrease the maintenance involved with energy production, which should infer a price drop in energy bills.  Not only will this give more access to Canadians who can not afford the current cost of energy, it will help ease the struggles of Canadians just making it by on low wage jobs.  To sum up the reasons why I want 100% renewable energy is to increase access of energy to marginalized Canadians in Ontario, decrease the cost of energy for all citizens of Ontario, decrease the negative environmental impacts of current energy production, and to generate jobs that would in turn promote economic gain in Ontario.

Thank you for your time.
