Calling nuclear power "clean and affordable" is like calling lasagna and cheesecake diet foods. 🥘🍰 A memorable line from Markham resident Paul Kahnert's #TorontoStar letter on why #Ontario should invest in affordable #renewable energy instead of expensive nuclear. #ONpoli

In her letter to the #TorontoStar, T.O. resident Carol Essex calls on #Ontario to STOP pouring billions into slow, costly nuclear projects & instead invest in affordable, reliable #RenewableEnergy. The people have spoken: It’s time Ontario made decisions with Ontarians’ best interests in mind.

The first reactors in Canada's planned nuclear expansion will depend on foreign suppliers to enrich and fabricate their fuel. So much for elbows up! #cdnpoli #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/xvjA2jGg

Ontario spent a record $111.9 MILLION on government advertising last year: shrlnk.ca/s/pAfmTdJy The Ministry of Energy alone spent nearly $10 MILLION on "Protect Ontario" ads. Taxpayer dollars should inform the public, not promote the government.

In the last decade, Canadian wildfires were 4 X greater than in the '90s. And this chart doesn't include wildfires this year which will likely surpass recent years. Stop burning fossil fuels. Amplify renewables. Now - not later. mailchi.mp/nationalobse... #cdnpoli #onpoli #climate #energy

Teenagers are helping extend Pakistan's solar revolution to some of its poorest communities. That's the kind of climate leadership the world needs. ☀️ Check out the inspiring work of SolarPak.org

The feds are celebrating Cdn Co. Northlands Power investing in 4 TW of offshore wind power in Poland. Let's do that in the Great Lakes - offshore wind is Ontario's ticket to lowering electricity bills and phasing out dirty gas. #energy #renewable #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/Rcg0cZie

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) stats show that renewable generation grew by 9.8% in 2024. Non-renewables increased just 1.4% over the same period. Overall, renewables accounted for 31.7% of the electricity generation globally in 2024. shrlnk.ca/s/PW4GxCXd

Wind and solar are the cheapest new electricity supply according to Lazard, the world's leading financial advisory and asset management firm. The most expensive are SMRs and large nuclear. Even community rooftop PV are 33% cheaper than SMRs and nuclear. #energy www.lazard.com/news-announc...

Ontario can con­tinue down the nuc­lear path, sad­dling rate­pay­ers with debt, ignor­ing Indi­gen­ous rights and miss­ing our cli­mate goals, or we can pivot to a clean, demo­cratic energy future. #onpoli www.pressreader.com/canada/the-s...

Nuclear is slow to build and expensive to run. We don’t have time to wait for it. We don’t want to pay for it. Let’s invest our time and money in renewable energy and slow the advance of climate change. #cdnpoli #onpoli @TheHillTimes

Agrivoltaics—combining renewable energy and agriculture. Solar panels provide shade and comfort, while the sheep naturally maintain the grass and return vital nutrients to the soil. A win-win for clean energy and local food production. Triple renewables! www.cleanairalliance.org/triple2050/

Anishinabek Nation statement on #CanadaDay We call on the federal gov't to reconsider its pursuit of a dangerous, toxic nuclear waste dump that threatens our future generations, and to cease these reckless plans immediately. #cdnpoli #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/uf3fEPBs

A big thank you to @diannesaxe.bsky.social for helping clear the way for parking lot solar in Toronto. ☀️ Toronto City Council has approved Councillor Saxe's zoning amendment, removing a key barrier to solar parking canopy installations citywide.⚡ #TOpoli #SolarEnergy #TorontoNews

Interesting how quickly the conversation has changed. A few years ago, batteries were dismissed as too expensive. Today, they're helping outcompete gas plants and reshape electricity grids around the world: shrlnk.ca/s/dlJFJicG #ClimateNews #EnergyStorage

Can a regulator objectively assess projects it's responsible for promoting and licensing? Experts are warning against handing nuclear impact assessments to the CNSC: shrlnk.ca/s/WdZZQWkE Independent review isn't red tape. It's accountability. #EnergyPolicy #cdnpoli

The world's oceans are sending us a major warning. 🌊 According to a new UN assessment, the rate of sea level rise has DOUBLED over the past decade. Climate change isn't a future problem. It's happening now: shrlnk.ca/s/e6Z0lloo #ClimateNews

For years, we've been told we have to choose between farmland or #solar. #Agrivoltaics says otherwise. ☀️🌱 Grow food. Generate #renewable energy. Better support for local farmers. The best solutions don't force us to choose: shrlnk.ca/s/A019GbQi

What if solar power was as easy to buy as a barbecue? ☀️ This New York Times piece explores the rise of plug-in "balcony solar" – small solar systems that renters and condo owners can install themselves: shrlnk.ca/s/UTWnMkLd (paywalled) #SolarInnovation #ClimateNews

Interesting contradiction: Ontario says rapidly falling renewable and storage costs prove the value of competitive procurements. Yet billions in nuclear contracts continue to be awarded without competition. #ONpoli #EnergyPolicy News Release: shorturl.at/8XXJ9

☀️🥚 Breakfast: #solar powered. These eggs come from hens raised in solar-powered barns right here in Ontario! One of the many ways solar can optimize food production and farming! #SolarPower #OntarioFarms #Renewable

☀️ Solar. 🌬️ Wind. 🔋 Batteries. The renewable energy transition isn't one technology – it's all 3 working together. As battery costs keep falling, storing renewable energy is becoming easier and cheaper than ever: shorturl.at/8sW5Y #ClimateNews #EnergyPolicy

One easy way to help reduce air pollution in #Ontario is by lowering electricity demand during peak periods! This #CleanAirDayCanada, we’re encouraging Ontarians to sign up for #PeakPerks: shorturl.at/VXQhL #climatenews #climatesolutions
