below what we are paying for nuclear power and work with communities to make the most of these economic opportunities.
-
Accept Quebec’s offer of low-cost 24/7 power from its massive water power system. Quebec has offered power at less than one-half the cost of re-building our aging Darlington and Bruce Nuclear Stations and Ontario can only benefit by making a long-term deal with its green energy-rich neighbour. Quebec’s system of reservoirs can be used like a giant battery to back-up made-in-Ontario renewable power, eliminating the need to use gas-fired power plants.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Windsor requests the Government of Ontario to place an interim cap of 2.5 megatonnes per year on Ontario’s gas plants’ greenhouse gas pollution and develop and implement a plan to phase-out all gas-fired electricity generation by 2030 to ensure that Ontario meets its climate targets
And further, that the County of Essex BE REQUESTED to consider adopting the resolution as outlined above.
