Develop a Long-term Energy Plan for Ontario to be powered with 100% renewable energy.

Over 1,000 cities and regions around the world have committed to being powered with 100% renewable energy. Ontario can benefit big time by leading this change. We will get to the root causes of rising energy bills. Its starts by saying no to tripling electricity prices for nuclear power to rebuild outdated, overpriced nuclear plants.

Ontario should say yes to low cost water power from Quebec. Yes to investing in your home and business to save energy. Yes to taking advantage of the dramatic drop in the price of renewable energy and smart grid storage. Yes to bioenergy.

We are committed to a renewable energy plan that puts community benefits before corporate interests.

We will help you electrify your transportation options and heat your home and business with clean technology.

We need to make informed decisions about our power sources. Yet the government so far has refused to do an independent public review to evaluate energy sources available to us.

Your Green MPPs will fight for an independent public review of the costs and availability of all energy sources to make the best choices for Ontario’s energy needs. We will push for low cost energy solutions that meet Ontario’s GHG pollution targets. And we will target rate reductions for the most vulnerable, instead of across the board reductions that benefit the wealthy the most.

How we will pay for it?

An independent public review of power costs will be done within existing budgets and could save Ontario billions. Canceling the unFair Hydro Plan will save Ontario $21 to $69 billion6. Replacing high cost nuclear rebuilds with low cost water power will save another billion per year.

What does it mean for me?

Lower bills for the long term. You wouldn’t do a renovation on your house without having a good sense of what your best value for dollar is. So why don’t we do the same thing with our electricity system? Knowing the truth about real costs and alternatives helps us make the best choices and saves us all money.
