Is anybody listening, does anybody care. As a senior I wonder what I will be able to afford.

To whom it may concern,

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

It is urgent that Ontario take serious steps to move away from dangerous nuclear energy, and commit more fully to 100 % renewable energy.  Let us be leaders globally in truly taking care of the environmental disaster that we are currently living.  Let's show that there is much employmen

Please stop nuclear plants for the future of are planet find a better way.wind turbines water turbine you the government should make better ways.it not all about money.that is the way you think.money. money. Money...

Nuclear  power generation has long term effects on the environment because of radio active waste. Some it may also be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

My major comment relates to the cost and required backup cost for wind and solar. Yes, they are good for the environment, but the sun does not shine for many hours a day in winter and the wind often does not blow.

· 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

Ontario needs to be part of a Canada-wide clean energy, green economy and environmental bill of rights. We have relatively clean energy although we should not be refurbishing nuclear stations.

The energy portfolio is a mess, and will only get worse with increased privatization.  An example is the increased use of privately owned wind turbines in areas where people do not want them. These are an expensive source of energy and can only deliver when the wind is blowing.

Would love to see Ontario become a leader in all sorts of renewable energy technologies. If the province really works to become 100% fossil fuel free  by 201X or even 202X, we would force ourselves to develop new technologies and policies.

It is time to seriously consider phasing out nuclear energy given the issues and risks of long-term storage.

And certainly investing in aging nuclear plants that are well past their safe life-time makes little sense.

I want the Government to move away from dangerous nuclear and fossil fuels and towards a 100% renewable future.

I believe that renewable energy is the way to go.

Nuclear energy is the lifeblood of Ontario's energy policy. It provides cheap, reliable, carbon-free energy that generates a minimal amount of waste. Please support Bruce Power in the years to come for Ontario's sustained growth and leadership in nuclear energy!

Renewable energy is the only way to save this planet - please do not waste money and risk our lives with nuclear energy.

The faster Ontario switches to renewables, the less painful the transition from coal and other fossil fuels will be.  Other countries have done it, and there is no good reason why we can't.

I favour nuclear power as an major source of long term energy for this province. Bruce Power and OPG are an asset to the community / province and a smart choice for many reasons.

Every house in the province needs better insulation. There must be major government help with this program which must start now.

I have been ashamed for many years that such a rich nation as Canada, should lag so far behind the rest of the civilized world in regard to renewable energies, especially when so many innovations and price reduction continue to occur.

I think the key aspects to a healthy and ever changing long term energy plan are:

supply mix - a proper mix of hydroelectric, wind, solar, biomass, natural gas and nuclear power generation.  this will allow for flexible generation with low emissions.
