It's time to let old nuclear reactors be decommissioned and increase renewable generation.

The long term plan for energy usage and distribution should be the use of electrical power. Where possible taken from the grid distribution.

Fossil fuel and nuclear-based energy are not only dangerous for the environment but also put communities and workers' health under threat.

Close pickering nuclear plant! We need to move away from this form of energy. Close the plant by 2020 like originally stated!

I would like to see those billions of dollars that are going into pipelines put toward solar tubular panels that could cover every factory roof in our country and be made in Canada and employ a lot of people.

Other countries have done it.  Check it out and use the info. i.e. on New Zealand.

Dear Minister,

I am a proud member and investor in SolarShare, which has enabled me to directly benefit from community ownership of our projects, participate in co-op decision making, and learn about the positive environmental impacts of renewable energy and energy conservation.

I would like to see Ontario 100% renewable.

Please make Ontario a leader in a fossil fuel free future, encouraging renewable energy as a priority in budget and action.

I support the non-fossil fuel future. 100% green energy is the best, but the 3rd and 4th generation breeder nuclear reactors would make an excellent stop gap measure. The old style heavy water reactors just don't cut it.

We do not want another Chernobyl accident here with nuclear power plants near large populations. Repairing these cost much more than building wind or solar farms.  Please continue with renewable energy forms.

This province needs to stop wasting time and money on wind turbines and solar

electricity generation.  The electrical infrastructure in this province is

aging and these forms of electrical generation do very little to produce

Proponents of oil sands expansion continue to argue that it's hypocritical to call for an end to fossil fuels because we all use them. Yes, we do all use them, but that's because we have not been offered an alternative!

I believe our energy plan should move us to renewable sources; solar,wind,and biomass and other developing green sources.  Nuclear energy poses threats not only at the reactors but in the disposal of nuclear waste.

The solar panels on the roof of our house supply as much electricity as we consume in the house and for our electric hybrid car, a Volt.  With sufficient battery storage we could be independent of the power grid.

We need to decrease GHG emissions by getting off fossil fuels to stop runaway climate change.  We need to set challenging targets and use cap & trade funds to achieve them.

I believe keeping the Pickering nuclear plant open is irresponsible in other modern age. Climate change is very real and the government needs to step up and act and renewable energy is an essential step.

I think the power generation and distribution in Ontario should be publicly owned and operated. I want us to move toward completely renewable energy sources. This will help ensure energy security and the health of my children and all future generations.
