I believe that it is past time for Ontario (and all other provinces) to decide that they must rely 100% on renewable energy as quickly as possible.  Dragging our feet, and supporting old-energy suppliers is dangerous from an environmental perspective and means constantly having to keep outmoded equipment in operation. Given the very real problems we face from climate change, the only sensible option is to make conservation and efficiency the priority for the future.   All cost-effective conservation measures should be considered and adopted.

The province should help those communities who have opted to go 100% renewable:  help for citizens who wish to do so would also be very helpful.

Nuclear power has been proven to be dangerous and is not a viable solution for the future. Therefore, it makes no sense to continue to keep throwing money at the industry.  The continued operation of the Pickering nuclear plant continues to drive up energy costs, as well as putting the public at risk.  Shutting this plant would be an excellent first step toward the province making the transition to renewable energy.
