I feel that it is of vital importance that Ontario take the lead in switching as quickly as possible from carbon fuels to renewables.

Please stop supporting and rebuilding nuclear power plants. There is nothing environmentally friendly about nuclear power, for the danger of radiation leaking is always present. There is no safe way to dispose of nuclear waste.

We need to transition to clean energy now and that does not include nuclear power.

Re: 100% Renewable is Doable in Ontario

To whom it may concern,

Ontario has made a start in contracting with Quebec for hydroelectric power but we could certainly import more as an alternative to nuclear energy. We need to close Pickering  when its lease expires rather than risking a catastrophic accident.

Climate change is happening faster than predicted, with positive feed-backs accelerating warming.

100% renewable energy in our province is essential if

we are to have any hope of addressing climate change.Fossil fuels must be taxed so that they reflect the true damage they cause to health and the environment.

Other countries are making giant strides towards changing from fossil fuels to sustainable sources of energy. Why isn't Ontario going in that direction? It would be wise to work towards 100% renewable energy (preferably before 2050).

Cancel the contracts, Minister Thibeault (we’re asking again)

We need better solutions, What will you do with all the waste from nuclear power plants. There has to be a better way. We can,t just think some magical solution will happen. we should really get serious and find better ways.

I want 100% renewable energy we have to change and head in that direction for the future generations thank you

Nuclear energy is neither clean nor green. There is no safe way to dispose of toxic waste that will remain toxic forever. The world is living with the reality of Chernoble and Fukishima and we still don't know all of the consequences of those disasters.

Dear Ministry of Energy,

I am so concerned about the future of the Earth and all who are blessed to be part of Her.

As a physics engineer I have a very hard time accepting that nuclear power is a correct choice for power generation. Technically we know that it is possible and also that other, renewable methods. Possible does not mean desirable! We have not seen over many years that it is economical.

Please support renewable energy. Do not continue to subsidie and support the fuel industry. Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy.

I am an employee of Cameco.  A single female with a home.  I am finding it very difficult with the suddenly huge hydro bills.

I appreciate how hard a sudden transition to renewables is economically and relatedly, of course, politically. But it truly is do or die. Nuclear is obscenely expensive and dangerous. Our collective future, if we have one, lies in renewables, and that includes our economic future.

Please do not bury more money into nuclear power generation in Ontario. It is a sink-hole. I prefer that we put that money into making each community, perhaps even each building, self-sufficient in electric power.
