Based on scientific evidence dating back multiple decades, it is well understood that carbon based energy systems are detrimental to the environment. In recent times it has been observed that the impacts can be felt socioeconomically as well since Canada's currency is directly dependent on the price of said energy system. This is impractical. I am proud that Ontario has no coal fired power plants however we are still using dated technology that has long lasting impacts with regards to waste products, nuclear energy. Nuclear could be wonderful if there were a way to actually extract all the energy from the rods or a way to reduce the radioactive aspects of the waste other than time. Thankfully there are other technologies at our disposal that have a lessened impact such as wind, solar and if done properly, hydroelectric. By utilizing multiple sustainable energy systems we can energize Ontario. With investments into alternative energy systems in terms of R&D, environmental assessments, product design, manufacturing, and installation; we can increase jobs that require skilled trades and professionals. With new solar technology like that recently developed by Tesla/SolarCity, not only can every resident of Ontario generate electricity but our businesses and indeed the major utilities. This, in my opinion, fosters a society of sharing and cooperation in which we can be proud. Is it not these ideals that make us Canadian? I look forward to seeing more wind turbines and solar farms in the future. Please install them "in my backyard." Thank you for taking the time to listen to the citizens.
