“The climate is in crisis. We should not be building pipelines; we should not be refurbishing nuclear plants. We have got to move to renewables and we’ve got to move to sustainability and we’ve got to do it quickly.” -  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=2c3be498d9&e=45743fde61> Cheri DiNovo on How to Fix the NDP
