I believe the province should commit to having all its electrical supply come from renewable resources.  Although natural gas is often cited as being less carbon intensive than oil, recent studies indicate that it is not much better than oil due to leaking methane at the well heads and the f

The Government of Ontario and all of Canada needs to take a giant leap forward and make the decision to become a leader in Solar Energy manufacturing and technology, we have everything it takes to do it, what are you waiting for???

I am writing to make official my position on renewable energy and conservation efforts in Ontario. In many ways, Ontario has become a leader on these issues but it is time to take larger, more meaningful, long-term steps forward.

I believe the Ontario she be powered by 100% Sustainable and Renewable energy. I believe by moving toward more sustainable energy will create new jobs and be cleaner for our environment. Ontario can be a leader in the world and show that we are serious about combating climate change.

Our energy future depends on renewable green energy. In addition to contributing to the reduction in greenhouse gases, alternate green sources of energy rely on new and innovative technologies which will support the development of higher paying jobs in Ontario.

There is no more important issue than the environment.

We live in it; we breathe it, we work in it and we play in it.

NOTHING is more important to humanity.

Please get with the program.

Thank you,

Michael

Our next energy plan should set us on the path away from expensive nuclear and polluting fossil fuels, and towards 100% renewables.

Dear Premier Wynne,

Using renewable resources like solar and geothermal means using the flow that already exists. In using this flow, there's less "backlash" from the environment. It's better for the longevity of humankind. Unsustainable practices are killing us: humans.

Let's start at the point we want to reach:  CLEAN ENERGY FOR ONTARIO within 10-15 years.

How do we get there?  By providing incentives for the use of alternative power sources, while cutting down our reliance on fossil fuels.

Ontario needs to shift to 100% renewables. There is no time to lose.

We need to generate our electricity with green energy. Incentives for people to put solar panels on their roofs would help to generate more clean energy

I am very interested in the environmental Bill of Rights. However, I may not be able to respond because of upcoming surgery ...

We want a lot more conservation and use of renewable energies (i.e.. solar, wind, hydro-electric) and phase out/shut down of dirty fossil fuels and dangerous nuclear energy.  This goes for all types of energy use from industry, home, agriculture, and transportation sectors.

It is time our leaders make the necessary and immediate steps to make it so that  our next energy plan should set us on the path away from dirty nuclear and fossil fuels, and towards 100% renewables?

All of Canada needs to do this and it should have been done years ago....the environment is all we have, what little of it thats left. We do not have the right to destroy the planet. Other animals are trying to survive out inconsiderate destructive habits and their populations are crashing.

I fully support 100% renewable energy for Ontario. We cannot afford not to make this move.

This is the time to institutionalize change before it's too late. The government has a responsibility to act in the best interest of it's citizens as big business does not.

We would like to see Ontario move away from fossil fuels and coal and instead focus on green renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind and other technologies not yet even thought up.

Renewable energy is the future.  Old technology in the energy sector is just as irrelevant as it is in any other part of the economy.  We should be using, building and exporting this technology--seeing it as the next opportunity, not as some kind of punishment.
