We need to triple solar and wind power in Ontario
Global use of renewable energy is soaring – in 2023 global renewable energy capacity additions were almost 50% higher than in 2022. Thanks to costs that have fallen dramatically over the past two decades, solar and wind are now the lowest cost sources of power available. Yet Ontario has not added a single kilowatt of solar or wind energy to its electricity system in the past five years. This is a huge missed opportunity.
Send a message calling for the Ontario Government to triple wind and solar power.
Join us at local farmers markets this summer to talk renewable energy
Summer’s here and so are the farmers markets. Last season a few of us went to the Rosseau Market to raise awareness of the damage Big Oil is doing to the planet. The response was positive.
This year CAM plans to expand the number of markets covered and bring a positive action message promoting the Ontario Clean Air Alliance campaign to Triple Renewable Solar and Wind Power by 2035.
If you are interested in participating on one or more market days, please email Kim deLagran (kdelagran@gmail.com). Provide your email, cell number and preferred market. Possible markets are Bala (Mondays), Parry Sound (Tuesdays), Gravenhurst (Wednesdays, Sundays), Dwight (Wednesdays), Huntsville (Thursdays), Port Carling (Thursdays), Rosseau (Fridays), Bracebridge (Saturdays), Magnetawan (Saturdays). Thank you!
Tell Doug Ford Ontario Needs to Triple Wind and Solar by 2035
CAM is one of 50 groups calling on the Ford government to triple wind and solar. Ontario needs to catch up with the rest of the world when it comes to reaping the benefits of low-cost wind and solar power.
Wind and solar are now our lowest cost options for supplying electricity to homes and businesses. We believe Ontario should embrace the target set at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai of tripling renewable energy capacity.
A strong commitment to tripling wind and solar power will lower energy costs, reduce climate damaging emissions, and create jobs across Ontario. We call on the Ontario government to direct the IESO to triple Ontario’s wind and solar power by 2035.
Your voice matters! Send a letter now to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Energy, Opposition Leaders and your MPP. Your letter will have more impact if you make it your own by editing the prepared letter that you’ll find HERE.
