The Government of Ontario is turning the tide on renewable energy with the IESO's procurement announcement of 2,000 megawatts of non-emitting generation, including wind, solar, hydro and bioenergy. Carbon emissions from the electricity grid are increasing quickly, underscoring the need to invest in efficiency and renewable energy, which is now the cheapest form of new power. The incoming renewables will bring new jobs, reduce strain on the electricity grid, and reduce carbon pollution. “This announcement is a great improvement over what we've been doing,” said Bryan Purcell, VP of Policy and Programs to the Toronto Star. “Meeting that call to all nations and all jurisdictions to triple renewables by 2030 would mean doubling that again.” There's work to be done - and we're here for it! https://ow.ly/IM4n50Qi41z #Ontario #GoodNews #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy
