Ontario should commit to 100% renewable energy. Nuclear is unsustainable and ridiculously expensive.

Now is the time to further develop renewable energy. Why would you cut back on renewable energy and refurbish expensive nuclear reactors? Instead phase out dangerous nuclear energy and gas plants as much as possible, while replacing them with renewable energies such as solar and wind.

I would like a 100% green-energy Ontarioand

We have to stop poisoning our own backyard. Please move Ontario to 100% renewable energy. Our future depends on it.

· Ontario should set a target of moving to 100% renewable energy by 2050

· Ontario should maximize efficiency by paying full value (e.g., equal to the cost of nuclear) for conservation kilowatts

The nuclear industry is an important component of Ontario and it's economy. Keeping energy costs down is essential to grow our economy. Nuclear energy is not the ideal source of energy but until fusion energy is developed it is the best source of energy in the quantities we need now.

As a former professional engineer, Ministry of Energy staff member and Amethyst Award recipient, I have had an informed career in energy management.

For many years the need to move toward a source, or sources of renewable energy has been apparent, but vested interests have thwarted most moves toward that end by pressuring government to ignore the need to legislate change. We cannot continue to pollute.

I believe we should be 100% renewable energy.  The future has to be clean and we are way past the time to take action.  Nuclear energy is NOT clean energy.  The radioactive waste from nuclear energy is not safe for the next 100 000 years.  There has never been a society that h

We need Bruce Power Plant and maybe another one just like it.  Clean efficient power at a low cost to produce.  Not ugly like the windmills you see in farmer's fields.

Dear Sirs/Madam: I am writing to voice my concerns about our province's energy future and to ask the Ontario government to shift course away from dirty and dangerous nuclear power, by starting with the closure of the aging and dangerous Pickering plant on the edge of the Greater Toronto Area.

As a citizen of Ontario I expect the government to go forward with plans for a greener future. This includes a more sustainable energy plan and a move away from dirty nuclear power. None of us will live long enough to witness the neutralization of radioactive waste.

I think that we could get a lot better return on our renewable energy investment than by refurbishing the Bruce Nuclear facility.

Offshore wind farms and solar rooftops on every house are two possible routes.

I'm just in favor of solar and wind energy and fear that we are destroying the environment and dthe future of children and grandchildren by using oil and gas to pollute the atmosphere.

I support Bruce Power and the long term role they play in the energy plan for Ontario.

My family and I realize that changing energy sources to climate friendly options demands more money up front and are more than willing to pay our part to support the needs of our planet. Please consider our 4 voices as you make these long term decisions.

Thank you

I believe that:

The time to move radically away from fossil fuel energy production is now.  The last ditch position held by the petroleum industry merely puts off the inevitable - to the detriment of the environment.  Any intelligent company or administration would be easing itself out of coal/oil depe

To Whom It May Concern,  We wish to submit our comments concerning the future of Ontario power generation. We believe that fossil fuels  and nonrenewable sources of power should be eliminated and Ontario should work towards 100% renewable forms of energy as soon as possible.

Having a secure supply of economical electrical power is important to the both the Ontario and Canadian economies. Nuclear energy has historically been a key pillar of Ontario’s electricity mix and should in the foreseeable future continue to provide Ontarians with a supply of clean electricity.
