We should be moving toward the goal of 100% renewable energy, not the highly expensive refurbishing our aging nuclear reactors.

We have already reduced energy demand significantly through government support of conservation measures.

GET RID OF NUCLEAR POWER.  GO FOR 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES.

We want to start down the path towards a 100% renewable Ontario, and that starts with closing the aging and dangerous Pickering plant on the edge of the GTA.

It is crucial Ontario reject dangerous nuclear power (remember Fukishima is still leaking from the tsunami in 2011), and immediately transition to 100% renewable green technologies.  No-one has the right to destroy the Environment for short-term gains.  We can do so much better; we can

Dear Minister,

I am a Pediatrician in Toronto who is very concerned with the aging and dangerous Pickering plant on the edge of GTA and join the many calls for Ontario's energy future to be truly sustainable as well as clean.

Our generation must pay into trust funds for storage and guarding the nuclear waste our generating electricity for 25000 years. This is the half life of some of our spent fuel rods. Can anyone show where money already collected is kept>

Please phase out nuclear power.

I want Ontario to phase out nuclear energy quickly and safely while not burdening taxpayers with bearing the burden of this toxic energy waste that has no safe disposal options. The push to store waste so near Lake Huron demonstrates the short sightedness of this form of corporate governance.

Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy.

Ontario’s next energy plan needs to come clean on the true cost of nuclear power and help citizens and communities to empower themselves with renewable energy.

I want to see only 100% renewable energy in Ontario by 2050 at the latest! I do not want Ontario to put more funding into Nuclear Power. Ontario should close the Pickering Nuclear Station when its licence expires in 2018. We should be investing in a renewable future!

Please consider the strong evidence against the use of nuclear power and ensure Ontario moves toward clean renewable energy.

Sincerely

W. Lawson

I would like Ontario to lead by example by encouraging renewable energy use and refusing dangerous nuclear energy.

It's time to say goodbye to all polluting forms of energy especially nuclear.  Everyone knows that the waste it produces is highly toxic and cannot be safely disposed, leaks in these so called receptacles are inevitable!  Fukushima has polluted our oceans and sea life world wide to irre

This is old technology. Ex. That 69 Ford pick up in the driveway, may have pulled real hard in it's day, but now the valves are worn, bearings are shot. Plus the airbags probably wouldn't work if called upon. To rebuild would be to keep the aesthetic value of an antique, and quite costly.

I want Ontario’s next Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) to acknowledge that going 100% renewable is the only viable option for Ontario’s energy future.

LOTS of jobs if we go renewable.

Based on scientific evidence dating back multiple decades, it is well understood that carbon based energy systems are detrimental to the environment.

We all need to help do something to save our planet

I urge the Ontario government to pursue an aggressive policy that will accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy, most notably a commitment to meet 100% of the province's energy needs from renewable sources by no later than 2050.
