Ontario - It's Time To Phase Out Gas Plants!

In the middle of a climate emergency there's no excuse for burning fossil fuels for electricity. Ontario can keep its lights on without fossil fuels by investing in conservation, water power from Quebec, and made-in-Ontario renewables!

Why is this important?

The Ford Government wants to ramp up the greenhouse gas pollution from Ontario’s gas-fired power plants by more than 300% by 2025. (1)

If Doug Ford and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) get their way, Ontario will not be able to meet its 2030 Climate Target. We must not let this happen!
