Premier McGuinty and Tim Hudak have been very clear that they plan to spend tens of billions on new nuclear projects.  Meanwhile, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath has  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=2d2571ef58&e=45743fde61> sat on the fence on this issue. If you’d like to encourage the NDP to take political leadership on this issue, and clearly position themselves against all new nuclear projects in the province, please  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=48487d8653&e=45743fde61> order copies of our new leaflet,  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=897071cd06&e=45743fde61> $35 billion to rebuild the Darlington nuclear station vs. $16 billion for 2.3 million home energy retrofits - Which will Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath choose? 
 
Please send a letter to NDP Andrea Horwath  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=04c7b07b4c&e=45743fde61> here, asking her to take leadership opposing the Darlington re-build!
 
And if you’re up for helping blitz subway stations and door-to-door, let  <mailto:angela at cleanairalliance.org> me know. Thanks!

Renewables and Conservation

☼  <mailto:http://bluegreencanada.ca/blog/it-just-became-easier-save-money-and-help-planet> It just became easier to save money and help the planet Recent ON provincial legislation amendments allow municipalities to lend homeowners money for home improvements, like adding renewable energy systems or energy efficiency upgrades. And these loans can be tied to the property, rather than the homeowner. Energy efficiency upgrades save you money because lower energy bills more than offset the costs of the upgrades. Energy efficiency retrofits are also known green job creators, and a key component of any plan to cut climate-changing emissions.
