Renewable energy: is energy that comes from natural, sustainable sources, like the sun, wind and water. Generating energy from these sources is a cleaner alternative to generating energy from more traditional sources like coal.
Ontario is moving away from fossil-fuel based, non-renewable energy sources, and toward natural sources that generate less pollution and will help improve Ontario's air quality. Coal-fired power plants emit sulphur dioxide, lead, mercury and other heavy metals and toxins known to cause serious health problems, including cancer. The Canadian Medical Association estimates air pollution costs Ontario more than $220 million in health care costs and contributes to the deaths of 1,200 Ontarians each year.
Green Energy Act: The GEA is sparking growth in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectricity and bioenergy. For example, its Feed-in Tariff (FIT) provides stable prices for generators of energy from renewable sources.
Conserving Energy: Conserving energy not only saves money for families and businesses, it also lowers demand on the electricity system and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2005, various initiatives have helped Ontario families and businesses conserve more than 1,700 megawatts of electricity – the equivalent of taking more than half a million homes off the power grid.
The GEA continues to promote conservation by: Helping business and homeowner switch to more efficient methods of lighting, power driven products, and electrically heated spaces and manufacturing. We will have a cleaner environment and use less power thus fewer generation facilities will be required.
