We can stop burning coal today!

As of November 2009, Ontario’s coal-free generation capacity was 25% greater than our forecast peak day demand in 2010 and 28% greater than our forecast peak day demand in 2014. This means we have more than enough coal free electricity generating capacity to put our coal plants on standby reserve today and operate them only in the event of a true power emergency. This would allow Ontario to finish the coal phase out — the single largest climate initiative underway in North America — four years ahead of the government's official 2014 deadline for ending all coal use.
