Toronto-based Moran Solar is coming up with the kinds of new technology that Ontario needs. But without Government investment, and moving their support for the private sector from nuclear to renewables, imbedded advantages for old industries with fewer jobs will remain; the good companies will continue to find their way to jurisdictions that give them support. The job numbers quoted by McGuinty can happen if we make a major shift in support.
Write a letter to your local newspaper saying that every investment in nuclear in the province is an investment that should be made in renewable technologies and conservation - a combined more affordable way of moving forward!

The numbers on nuclear
Check the Ontario's Green Future campaign to learn about the free ride that's been given to the nuclear industry... then send a letter to Deputy Premier Smitherman letting him know you want a Nuclear Cost Responsibility Act.

Green energy for Ontario
The importance of the coming challenge is huge.
Ontario is up to deciding where we want to for our energy future - with implications on climate change, social justice, community sustainability and the new economy.
The Provincial Government is about to bring about a Green Energy Act with a predicted value of 50,000 jobs and a complete overhaul of the energy system - but with more green energy on the way, at quite a cost - how can we keep subsidizing the nuclear industry? A type of power generation that is inherently unclearn, dangerous and expensive.
We believe in a 100% renewable energy system for Ontario.
