We don’t need a bigger waste incinerator in Brampton.

The UK and Sweden produce half the waste / capita of Ontario and recycle more — it can be done.

Burning is not the answer.

Don't believe the hype - nuclear power is 'fizzling out'.

Nuclear accounted for just 9% of global electricity generation last year, down from 17.5% in 1996.

Meanwhile renewables are exploding, now 32% and rising fast.

Ontario is the outlier.

The Trump admin has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules.
The changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs. "They're taking a wrecking ball to the system of nuclear safety and security regulation".

What could go wrong?
