It is past time to get this done.

We have seen the negative effects of coal mining. There are so many alternative ways to produce electricity in green ways. We have to save this planet from our wrong doing to benefit the future generations. We love to see cleaner and uncontaminated environment; air, water, food supply.

Please grasp the concept that the climate is changing for the worse. Please grasp the concept that current methods of electricity generation including coal/natural gas/fossil fuels is a primary cause of climate change.

There is only one way forward from this point in our history.  It is to built our future on green, renewable, clean energies. If we can continue to produce solar electricity - let's continue. Build the infrastructure required to store this energy.

renewable energy only!  Abandon the other stuff!

Being an ecology major in the environmental science program, our countries environmental decisions greatly affect me and my future. I believe that it is Canada’s time to become that powerful leader against climate change, especially with the state that the US is currently in.

Its 2017.. please do what is right.. for humanity's sake!!!

We will have 100% renewable energy because we will keep fighting for it

I believe that climate change is now mankind's greatest challenge.

If we do not act now, and do all that we can, in the way of stopping our dependence on fossil fuels, our world as we know it will be doomed to a very grim future indeed.

Hope we can make society better

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

It is time to invest in the infrastructure of the future, renewable energy. Investing in the past, fossil fuel energy, is a waste of money and time.

I'm a firm believer that our time is running out as tenants of this amazing globe of ours - before Mother Earth will have no other choice than to eliminate us.  Change is always challenging but science has been trying to warn us for decades that we must get off fossil fuels.

We all have the right to a clean environment.

I am a 37 year old professional engineer working in the buildings engineering consulting industry where the goal of seeing commercial Net Zero buildings in Ontario, seems to be on the horizon.

We have to stop destroying our environment to save the world.

Get rid of fossil fuels.

Don't spend money increasing access to natural gas unless it's very close to a mainline and the gas supplied is conventional, not fracked. The methane loss in fracked gas, not to mention the threat of earthquakes and water loss and contamination, make it a very bad choice.

I am writing to support the idea of Ontario going much more fully and rapidly to renewable energy production.  The atmosphere won't correct itself unless we do.  Leadership by example is what is needed here, not waiting for someone else to go first.

If Canada is truly democratic it must respect the wishes of its citizens. The citizens of Canada want to preserve the environment for themselves and future generations.
