Why is Ontario taking from homeowners to subsidize gas companies? #onpoli theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Take notice #onpoli energy people. Important context given Ontario’s big bet on nukes (ie SMR at Darlington, Pickering refurb and Bruce new build)!

Ontario had almost eliminated electricity emissions. Since Doug Ford came to power, gas plant use has tripled.

The most important thing to know about #Highway413 is that it is motivated by Doug Ford’s dedication to rewarding particular sprawl developers. Evidence here: thestar.com/news/investiga… thanks to Emma McIntosh and Noor Javed #stopthe413 #onpoli

It is worth noting that it has been three years since the feds subjected Highway 413 to an impact assessment, and Ontario still has not filed the initial report needed to actually start the review process

Attn Metrolinx and GO Transit - batteries and catenary would solve for the electrification challenges of GO, which is overdue now... #ONpoli

The changes to the Clean Electricity Regulations will almost certainly take us further away from the Prime Minister’s commitment to a net-zero electricity sector by 2035. They will allow more gas plants to burn more gas further into the future. #cdnpoli environmentaldefence.ca/2024/02/16/env…

You only have two weeks left, until Greener Home grants run out

This uncertainty in energy efficiency programs is not how we are going to achieve net-zero homes

How proud Imperial Oil's CEO Brad Corson must be. Record levels of production at the Kearl site, totally overshadowing that pesky 5.3 million litres of toxic tailings that leaked at the same site. Huzzah! Hat's off to Brad! environmentaldefence.ca/climate-villai…

Parliament resumed yesterday and the #SustainableJobsAct is on the agenda. Will MPs prioritize this important legislation to secure a role for all workers and communities in the clean energy future? 👷🏼👷🏽‍♀️ #cdnpoli

Comment from Keith Brooks

Concerning to say the least!

'The Minister’s support for subsidies for new fossil fuel infrastructure – a new gas pipeline – that has a 60-year lifetime is indicative of this government’s interest in fighting climate change.'
