let' work towards a 100% renewable Ontario

[Original Comment ID: 206869]

There should be no argument or delay in moving to renewable energy. I live in a rural setting and have been heating geothermal for the past 10 years. Why isn't anyone discussing this fuel source as a wonderful alternative?

Ontario and the rest of Canada need to stop completely, the subsidizing of the oil industry including exploration, drilling, and pipelines.

Dear Minister Thibeault,

Nuclear energy is not the way to go. We need to focus on renewable energy!

Re: I want Ontario to go 100% renewable

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.

Please invest in SAFE renewable clean energy. I understand Nuclear is getting safer, but there is a horribly dangerous risk associated with it that lasts millions of years! I think we are smart to invest in developing Solar.

1.True Energy Plan - We are pleased to note that unlike the 2013 LTEP which was almost entirely focused on electricity, this is a more balanced energy plan with more focus on fuels as well as electricity.

I feel we should certainly try for 100% Renewables, and avoid as far as possible Fossil Fuels and Nuclear. Fossil fuels because they are finite and cause serious hazards of spills during transportation, greenhouse gases etc.

The disposal of nuclear waste is cost prohibitive and no methods have been proven safe To build and then refurbish these plants is also very expensive Some.

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.

Ontario needs to join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy.

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.

I want to see Ontario begin the process of becoming 100% renewable immediately!  Others locally and around the world (Oxford County, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Costa Rica for example) are leading the way - it's time for us to act!

Because renewable technology has advanced so far and will do so even more in the near future, there is absolutely no reason to look backward and spend taxpayers' money on energy sources of the last century.  It's time to get away from expensive and dirty fuels and move to job-creating, clean

The Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce appreciates this opportunity to comment on the 2017 Long Term Energy Plan, because we feel that our community will play a central role in Ontario’s energy future.

We must close down all Nuclear Power stations and invest in clean energy for our future and the future of all and this Earth.

100% Renewable!

To save our planet we must move to renewable energy.

I strongly support a fully-renewable energy future for Ontario. "Renewable" does NOT include nuclear energy. Our aging plants and their poisonous waste must be phased out, not refurbished, not relied on, never expanded.

Dear Ministry of Energy,
