I urge the Ontario Government to make a commitment to invest in renewable energy. It will take time to become 100% renewable but it is a legacy we need to leave for future generations.

I am writing primarily regarding the cost involved in the refurbishment of the province's aging nuclear fleet and especially Pickering.

Having worked in a Fossil Generating Station, a Nuclear Power Plant and experienced living around and driving thru Wind Mill's and Solar Power Plants throughout Ontario, the Bruce Power Nuclear Facility is SECOND TO NONE. Cost / MW, Safety, Pollution and the general work environment ...

Ontario should set a target of moving to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050. Ontario should maximize efficiency by paying full value(equal to  cost of nuclear) for conservation kilowatts.

Canada has made many strides and commitments towards 100% renewable energy, and away from fossil fuel/coal, etc. My thoughts are to continue in this direction, to leave a better future for the next generations to come.

I am grateful for this opportunity to speak out for renewable energy and strongly against nuclear power.  The environment has been my life long passion - something that grows stronger the older I get (will be 65 in less than a week).  Believing necessity is the mother of invention, and

The time has come for us to join the global movement towards 100% renewable energy.

The nuclear industry provides many high paying skilled jobs as well as low cost electricity which is environment friendly.

It's time to shut down Ontario's aging nuclear reactors. They are a dangerous boondoggle. Expensive and risky. Please commit our tax dollars to building 100% renewable infrastructure. It's the only way we can combat climate change and not create another disaster in its place.

At every point in history, man has looked to the past and said  "people were really stupid back then doing that" .   What do you think people will say in the future about what we are doing now......THAT TREATING OUR ATMOSPHERE LIKE A GARBAGE CAN WAS BRILLIANT?

As a resident of Ontario and Toronto, a Professional Engineer of Ontario, a member of the Society of  Energy Professionals, and as a father, I am supportive of the continued generation of safe, carbon-free electricity from an 8 unit Bruce Nuclear Power Generating Station.

Climate change, global warning, habitat loss, food security, water security and other issues are of significant concern to me as a global citizen. I want the Government of Ontario to take steps to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuel and nuclear energy as soon as possible.

Ontario has come a long way toward relying on renewable resources and now we need to go all the way. This target is eminently achievable and will cost less than other alternatives, especially nuclear which is outrageously expensive and is dangerous in the short, medium and long term.

Stop this nonsense!

I fully support the implementation of the proposed Environmental Bill of Rights.

I would hope the future plans of Ontarios energy would include Bruce Powers 8 generating units . The Bruce has shown that it can produce reliable , safe and clean power for our province .

Please stay on track to achieving 100% renewable resources.  We need clean air, clean water and a healthy ecosystem.  Ontario will be a leader.  The world needs positive and progressive leaders. The economy should be built on healthy business.

I received an email from Greenpeace, which is fine, however I think they want me to be against nuclear power. I'm not, in fact I prefer it to some renewable energy sources, such as dams that cause destructive flooding.

Nuclear power is unsafe and is not effective. We want 100% renewable energy. It is time for the government to invest in 100% renewable energy to save the planet for generations to come.

If we don't have renewable energy, what happens when we run out? The North Pole could disappear in two years. It's time to act now
