Hydro-electricity is commonly described as "green". Although it may be renewable, electricity generated from dams does have significant environmental impacts.

I am greatly concerned about projected cost of nuclear electricity in Ontario. More so that the costs do not account for full environmental remediation.

Protection of the environment needs to be the number one priority for the canadian government. Otherwise we are making life impossible on Earth for future generations.

I am concerned about Ontario's commitment to centralized nuclear power rather than the renewable sources that whose costs are falling and whose decentralized creation is more appropriate to the climate scientist's warnings of severe erratic weather conditions.  These conditions can badly aff

The following chart is from the IESO – Generators Output and Capabilities Report, Nov 17, 2016.

 The demand was for 15,066 MWh per hour   (Sorry - Chart did not copy correctly)

NUCLEAR Total -        Capability -9808 - Output - 9845

As we can discern from many events, both recent and over the past 30 years or more, climate change is not longer a 'possible' but a 'given'.

Recommendations for providing green energy at a reasonable cost.

-Cancel all renewable energy contracts awarded but not yet built

I have had a MicroFIT solar PV installation since 2011 and have been very pleased with the way Ontario has handled this program so far, adjusting the price repeatedly to reflect the drop in price of such installations.  All the more am I disappointed about the apparent recent change of direc

Ontario is already 35% renewable energy, we should not make our goal only 50% renewable energy! We need 100% renewable energy! NOW! If we don't think big, it won't happen. Do it for our grandchildren! Ontario is a leading province in North America!

In my view the main priority on energy for the Ontario government is to accelerate the transition away from dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear power.  Both of these are dangerous, indeed toxic, to the earth and to the humans who live on the earth.  This has been documented for decad

Why are we still talking about increases in nuclear energy, when what we really need is renewable energy? We have been talking about renewables for decades, and are still lagging far behind other countries, who have created tens of thousands of jobs in renewable energy.

A Nuclear Phase out is the most practical way to go for the long term.  If we care about leaving a healthy planet for the future generations, we have to have alternate methods.  Nuclear power is not safe and the waste cannot be practically stored.

Ontario should sign more long-term deals with Quebec to import lower cost and safer water power

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

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Ontario Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP). I believe that the LTEP puts too much reliance on nuclear power, and that Ontario should invest the money earmarked for rebuilding nuclear reactors into renewable energy instead.

· 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

I am writing to ask that the Ontario government aim towards a 100% renewable energy policy.  I am not sure that wind-farms are the answer as there seem to be  problems with them.  However, as evidenced recently in Japan,, nuclear energy is potentially very dangerous.  Thank yo

Close the nuclear plants and develop clean sustainable energy and make all Ontarians pay for the cost.

Thanks,

For the sustainability of present and future generations, a 100% renewable Ontario is crucial.. Make the transition from dependence on nuclear and fossil fuels to 100% reliance on renewable sources of energy.

Dear Minister,

We must focus on development of renewable sources of energy. Moving to 100% renewable as soon is possible, in 2050 or even sooner.

We must support conservation of energy, we waste huge amounts of power currently.
