The Ontario government is planning to expand the size of the Portlands gas plant on Toronto’s waterfront and ramp up the greenhouse gas pollution of the province’s existing gas plants by more than 300% by 2030 and by 700% by 2043. This is exactly what our climate does not need now, especially from a province that is doing little to reduce its greenhouse gas pollution.
We need federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to demand that the federal government stop this crazy plan by creating strong Clean Electricity Regulations that slam the door on new gas plants and move Ontario to a net zero-carbon electricity grid by 2030.
According to a Royal Bank report, we can avoid the need for new gas-fired electricity generation and save $500 million per year by investing in energy efficiency and demand management.
The NDP can use its support agreement with the Liberal government to demand that it act. The NDP needs to step up to save our climate and lower our electricity bills!
