Well, here is my first REAL post, I hope it contributes in some way.

Green energy has become controversial topic in Canada, specifically in Ontario.

Two groups seem to be forming: Those who insist on going instantly renewable, without much regard to the reality of the renewable energy transition, and those who ignore our Earth's perils and would be happy relying on coal forever.

Both positions are quite dangerous and both will prevent realistic, pragmatic change. I recently found this website that quite soundly takes the middle ground and outlines a better energy plan. Sadly... it is not a government website, but a union website that provides a glimmer of hope.

Here are a few links to some of the most important content:

Being new, I'm curious as to everyone's positions on this hot topic?:bigsmile:

DISCUSS! :)
