Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner has criticized the Ford government’s approach to clean energy, highlighting the lengthy 11-year refurbishment timeline for the Pickering nuclear plant. He argues that while countries like the U.S. are reaping substantial benefits from renewable energy investments, Ontario is falling behind due to canceled renewable contracts and a focus on outdated energy solutions. Schreiner calls for immediate investment in low-cost renewables and energy efficiency programs to address the impending energy crisis and protect consumers and the environment.
