I wish to be counted as being willing to live with much less in order to move to 100 % renewables.

I for one would like to see significant investment into renewable energy not just for Ontario but for the entire country.

While identifying pathways to a low-carbon energy system there is a critical aspect of engaging and educating Ontarians on how this energy transition will affect their lives and businesses.

We  want green energy and jobs,

NOT nuclear & fossil fuels!

Ontario has a manufacturing economy and dollars for dollar renewables generate more jobs. Ontario can lead Canada out of our oil addiction. Please help!

Thanks for you progressive thinking

It's high time to switch over to renewals instead of talk and belly-aching about it.

Leave the oil, gas and coal in the ground.

High Electricity costs are hurting rural Ontario. Our farms and small business cannot operate on off peak times to reduce electricity costs. Our rural recreation facilities are becoming too expensive to operate.

Nuclear is NOT clean energy.  It pollutes water and what do we do with all those rods?

Only clean renewable energy is what we need - sun, wind, water

Clean alternate energy investments are beating fossil fuels 2 to 1 according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. It only makes sense to invest in renewable energy.

Please give serious consideration to the elimination of Nuclear Energy in Ontario and to replacing it with renewable energy.  It is understandable that the stable energy from Nuclear is desirable but the cost and risk is not worth it.  With the coming significant projected loss of jobs,

It's time to make a change for the good of our planet!

I do not support dangerous nuclear power, it put our health at risk.  Please consider a safer and cleaner renewal energy, such as solar and wind, etc. It will pay out in the long run.

This government has to wake up to the reality that it's not business as usual. The environmental issues which face us now are dire and threaten the very life on this planet if left unchecked. Our future will be one of immense hardship and destruction. The human toll will be massive.

we want to start down the path towards a 100% renewable Ontario, and that starts with closing the aging and dangerous Pickering plant on the edge of the GTA.

Please make the choice to go to renewable energy. The common man wants this and it can be profitable if you have the courage to make a stand.

We need to be making bigger motions to renewable energy sources. Yes, it will cause some short term discomfort but overall we know it needs to be done; we need to be thinking and acting for long term sustainability.

Please stop all nuclear refurbishments. Please close Pickering nuclear plant. Nuclear power refurbishments and the over-run costs are the biggest reason for hydro costs rising. Hydro costs need to go down by 50%.

Please go 100% to clean energy.

build new home with energy self sufficiency only. Model will drive the market... give them tax credit...

drop the silos to talk between  energy and construction code

I believe that it is the most important measure to be taken by our generation that we shift to 100% renewable energy. Climate change threatens all life, and will affect already our grandchildren unless we achieve a substantial reduction in the release of greenhouse gases.

Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy. We need a new energy system that empowers citizens and communities to switch to 100% renewable energy. Ontario’s next energy plan needs to remove barriers to citizens and communities becoming energy self-sufficient.
