But the nuclear lobby keeps pushing this lucrative 20th-century technology for a 21st-century problem even though wind and solar are cheaper, faster and more effective alternatives.

But the Ontario government is headed in the opposite direction.  It recently announced it is putting the brakes on renewable energy while moving forward with extending 6 aging reactors at Pickering and rebuilding 10 reactors at Darlington and Bruce. It’s time to change course. I want Ontario to switch to 100% renewable energy.

In Germany, the transition to renewable energy started with a grassroots movement which led to legislation. In Ontario, the law – Ontario's Green Energy Act of 2009 - came first. “The biggest winners of community renewable energy are going to be farming communities,” he said. And it will create jobs for people in rural communities and give them options.
