🚨 Breaking: Ontario's nuclear-heavy energy plan could cost ratepayers $117 billion to nearly $300 billion more than renewable alternatives. The PM wants to follow suit! ⚡ Cheaper, safer and faster options exist: renewables, storage and efficiency. 👉 Read it:

#GoodNewsFriday --🔋 Battery storage just beat gas generation in Ontario’s latest energy auction!!! Ontario awarded 640 MW to battery storage projects — proving batteries are reliable, cost-effective and ready to help keep the lights on. Read on for more: environmentaldefence.ca/2026/06/12/b...

As Earth Month 🌍 wraps up, we celebrate a major renewable power WIN in Ontario's grid⚡ But make no mistake, gas is creeping back — and unless we change course, the decisions this summer could lock us into fossil fuels for decades! I break it down here ⬇️ 🔗 environmentaldefence.ca/2026/04/29/a...

#Ontario just announced 1,300+ MW⚡️of new #renewable electricity—enough to power a city like Ottawa. But we’re still heading the wrong way. ⚠️ #Gas is rising—from 4% in 2017 to 19% in 2025. We need #battery storage 🔋—not more fossil gas—as backup to keep the grid clean. Read here for more:

#Ontario changed its electricity rules — and it could cost us. Under #Bill40, an “economic growth" focus makes it easier to justify: • New fossil #gas infrastructure • Costly, risky #nuclear build-outs • Shifting long-term costs onto ratepayers • Deprioritizing #climate accountability Read blog 👇

Canada has a natural advantage in #renewableenergy 🌬️🌊 Offshore wind + tidal power could add $500M+ annually to the economy — creating jobs & cutting pollution. The energy transition isn’t theoretical — it’s already at our shores. Read more: shorturl.at/yJfh7#renewableenergy #cdnpoli

#Toronto has a chance to lead on clean energy — but provincial energy planning still prioritizes fossil gas and nuclear over local #renewables and storage. My new blog breaks down the decisions on the table and why they matter for our #climate and community👇 environmentaldefence.ca/2026/02/10/t...

Stephen Lecce says Darlington was “on budget & ahead of schedule.” OPG’s own filings say it’s at least 25% over budget and needs 6 more years. The truth matters. #onpoli #ontarionews www.cleanairalliance.org/lecces-nucle...

Darlington isn't “on budget.” It’s at least 25% over, years behind schedule, and needs another $3.3B to run to 2055. Yet #Ontario plans ~$400B more nuclear. 🤔 Ontarians deserve FACTS — NOT spin: cleanairalliance.org/lecces-nuclear-spin/#Ontario #ontarionews #onpoli

"Our territories are not carbon sinks or green investments. They are living systems of culture, economy, and spirit. Ending subsidies and investments that drive deforestation... would do more for climate and biodiversity than any new fund could." #cop30 #climate icmagazine.org/indigenous-w...

$6.5 B electricity subsidies last year, $8.5 B this year! All to artificially lower rates so that the public doesn't freak out about Ford's high cost nuclear + gas energy plan. It's time to transition to low-cost, smart renewable energy. #onpoli #climate #fordnation www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ontario’s “Big Battery” plan is greenwashing. Batteries should store renewable power, not gas-fired electricity. Without a renewables-first strategy, we’re just powering homes and EVs with gas generators. Read our statement 👇 environmentaldefence.ca/2025/11/12/s... #Ontario #Batteries #Climate

The US has abdicated any role in fighting the most urgent threat to human welfare in history, so other countries need to step up and figure out how to do it without us.

#MEDIA: A broad coalition is urging Toronto City Council to reject the province’s fossil-fuel-heavy energy plan. It locks residents into decades of pollution, ignores local climate goals, and sidelines clean, affordable solutions. Read the full release: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/11/04/g...

Ontario’s Critical Minerals push is being sold as clean energy — but without a real renewables plan, it’s mining to nowhere. Read our statement: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/10/29/s... #ONpoli #CleanEnergy #Lithium #Climate

Tell PM Carney to build a modern east-west electricity grid powered by low-cost renewable energy – wind, water, solar and storage – not nuclear. #cdnpoli #onpoli www.cleanairalliance.org/carney-wrong/

NEW 🚨Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries - the US, Canada, Australia & Norway - blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout. While the rest of the world reduced oil & gas production by 2%, these 4 countries increased production by nearly 40%. oilchange.org/publications...

#MEDIA: Today marks 10 years since PM Carney’s Tragedy of the Horizons speech, yet our financial system remains underprepared for climate risks and continues to favour investments in fossil fuels over clean energy. Action is urgently needed: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/09/29/p...

#Ontario: Think that a #HeatPump will cost you more than a #Gas furnace? Don't always believe what a gas company will tell you. They depend on your gas hookup! Check out #TOStar article for pushback against #Enbridge. Time to take back our #Power! Literally! @environmentaldefence.ca

If Canada is to meet future electricity demand affordably and reliably, 70% of new capacity should come from wind, solar, and battery storage, creating billions in investment opportunities and hundreds of thousands of jobs. #climate #energy #cdnpoli www.theenergymix.com/wind-solar-s...

By designating U.S. nuclear and LNG as projects of national interest, Carney has chosen the riskiest energy pathways rather than the most reliable, lowest cost and cleanest options available – wind, solar, storage. #cdnpoli #onpoli #climate #energy shorturl.at/o9lwg
