We need to close down this aging power plant. Extending it yet again is not the right decision. It's old and we are at risk of a very costly mishap, the likes of what hasn't been seen. Let's look to Fukushima as an example of what we don't want to be known for.

It is time to make a clean break from dirty fossil fuels and nuclear to 100% renewable energy. Our next energy plan must include this if we are going to maintain life on earth as we know it.

Nuclear energy may sound good but imagine the costs of maintaining the storage of radioactive waste for thousands of years. Would we want to be paying the costs for the electricity use of (selfish) civilizations from 1000 BC?

Our Earth and those of us on it want to be around for a long long time. PLEASE listen to our heartbeats, catch the wave of healing for our children and our children's children. What other choice do we have but 100%?

Because if we do not find safe, clean renewable energy and soon, we will kill our planet. We will kill all wildlife and hope for the future. We are killing our own children, the future of the human race if we do not change our ways and quickly.

I am definitely in favour of renewable resources.

Thank you.

I believe we can do it!

In short, I believe we need to take the leadership role to do the right thing, and become the most green economy in the world. Invest in sustainable clean energy. Protect our natural resources.

I prefer clean producing energy over nuclear nd fossil fuels.

I truly believe that there are better ways of  producing the power that we need -- Renewables are simply cleaner and better for our planet than dirty, dangerous nuclear and fossil fuels.

I support a 100% renewable energy plan for Ontario.  As energy conservation increases in Ontario we're actually not using as much energy as we used to. I'm aghast that while reducing dirty coal fired energy, we've actually replaced it with worse - nuclear energy.

I feel that nothing is more important than our right to a habitable earth, one that is not too warm. We need to

1. Ontario should join the global movement toward 100% renewable energy.

2. 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.

We need to start, firmly, on this path towards 100% renewable Ontario. Let us lead instead of be dragged towards more responsibility to the earth.

In hopes our children will live well and more lightly on this planet.

The people of Ontario, and the rest of world, need to start now to transition to 100% renewable energy. This shift needs to be considered necessary and final, not a gradual partial shift. Leaders of today have the responsibility to lead us to a safe and secure future.

Please lets not further pollute our world. Use good sense & work with nature, not against it. Renewable is the way to go !

Thank you,

Ontario has phased out coal powered electricity generation - great. Now let's get even cleaner and greener I want to see the Pickering nuclear generating facility mothballed, not refurbished. I want to see more and more solar panels and wind farms all over the Province.

It's time for Ontario to join the global movement toward 100% per cent renewable energy!!!!!

I have a big problem with price gouging private companies increasing their bottom line at any cost. Our utilities should stay in public hands where citizens have a say in how they are run.
