Working to move Ontario towards a 100% renewable energy future by tripling wind and solar, investing in conservation and efficiency, and cooperating with Hydro Quebec.

@oncleanair.bsky.socialFord’s “brilliant” comeback to U.S. trade action?
Buy dirty electricity from an oil-burning New York plant instead of Ontario's cleaner options.
Are we winning yet?

@oncleanair.bsky.social🇨🇦 A Canadian company just installed 76 offshore wind turbines in Poland, enough to power 1.5M+ homes once operational.
Meanwhile, Ontario still bans offshore wind in the Great Lakes.
We have the wind AND the expertise. Let's use them! 🌬️
@oncleanair.bsky.social☀️ Four #FirstNations are teaming up to build an 8.5 MW solar farm in northern #Ontario!
100% #Indigenous-owned, the project could create jobs, power a local mine and avoid 4,900 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Renewable energy AND community opportunity. 💚
@oncleanair.bsky.social☀️ Solar power you can plug into a wall?
It's already happening! Small balcony-friendly 3solar panels are helping renters & homeowners generate their own electricity AND lower their bills.
Germany has over 1 million systems!
Why not #Ontario? 👀
@oncleanair.bsky.social☢️ Where will Canada’s nuclear waste go, and who gets a say?
Join We the Nuclear Free North for a webinar on efforts to change how major nuclear projects are reviewed.
📅 Oct. 8
⏰ 7 p.m. ET
These decisions are moving fast. Get informed + involved.
@oncleanair.bsky.socialWhere do Toronto's leading mayoral candidates stand on solar and wind energy?
Which candidate will lead our city toward a bright renewable energy future?
We asked them.
@oncleanair.bsky.social🧡 Reconciliation can't end on Sept. 30.
On Oct. 1, Canada designated a major oil pipeline a Project of National Interest.
Keepers of the Water says Indigenous rights, lands + waters must be respected.
Reconciliation can't be symbolic.
@oncleanair.bsky.social☀️ Solar has officially overtaken nuclear.
In 2025:
☀️ Solar: +510 GW
🌬️ Wind: +159 GW
☢️ Nuclear: +1.5 GW
Solar also generated more electricity globally than nuclear for the first time.
The energy transition isn't waiting around.
@oncleanair.bsky.socialNuclear projects including uranium mining, reactors, & waste impinge on traditional Indigenous lands.
We're grateful for the life-affirming values and spiritual guidance provided by Indigenous wisdom posted here:
@oncleanair.bsky.socialSix Meaford election candidates oppose TC Energy’s proposed pumped storage project.
Even the IESO says it does not compare favourably with available alternatives.

@oncleanair.bsky.social☀️🌬️ 80.4% #renewable power.
Australia just set a new record for #solar + #wind on its main grid.
Even better? Rooftop solar alone supplied more than HALF of electricity demand for a period.
#Ontario, take notes.
@oncleanair.bsky.social#Ontario spent nearly $6.9B last year keeping electricity bills down.
If affordability is the goal, why keep betting billions on costly new nuclear?
Let’s lower the actual cost of power with efficiency + lower-cost #renewables. #onpoli
@oncleanair.bsky.social🌎 What happened to Mark Carney the climate champion?
After years of warning about climate risk, Whitmore + Pineau say Carney is now accelerating fossil fuel development.
Canada should be accelerating renewables instead.

@oncleanair.bsky.socialUofT can walk its talk on sustainability by rapidly expanding on-site solar power generation.
It's time to develop a plan to make solar shine across the university’s three campuses.

@oncleanair.bsky.social☢️ RIP SMRs?
After a decade of hype, many SMRs proposed for Canada have lost proponents, private backing or been abandoned.
Meanwhile, Ontario is betting billions on one at Darlington.
Time to give lower-cost renewables a fair shot. 🌬️☀️
@oncleanair.bsky.socialAffordable #renewable electricity is becoming one of the BIGGEST economic advantages a country can have.
The costs of renewables, batteries + electric technologies keep falling.
#Ontario should be racing to take advantage of this shift. ☀️🌬️🔋
@oncleanair.bsky.social☢️ Burying Canada’s nuclear waste is not something to fast-track.
Ottawa may designate NWMO’s nuclear waste repository a “Project of National Interest.”
Nuclear Free North says it deserves full, independent scrutiny.
Comments close Oct. 26.
@oncleanair.bsky.socialPickering’s reactors were state-of-the-art when this TV was. Now Ontario plans to spend $26.8B rebuilding them, even as cheaper wind, solar and storage sweep the world.
Nostalgia isn’t an energy strategy.
Tell Ontario to #triplerenewables
@oncleanair.bsky.social☢️ Point Lepreau is offline for the 2nd time in two weeks, this time after a heavy-water leak.
When one big reactor goes down, a lot of power disappears at once.
Another reason to build a more diverse grid with wind, solar + storage. ☀️🌬️🔋
@oncleanair.bsky.social🐟☢️ Millions of fish overwhelmed Bruce Nuclear’s cooling system, shutting down one reactor and reducing another.
Bruce Power said the event “challenged reactor safety.”
As our climate changes, Ontario needs a more diverse, flexible power system.
