On November 8th, 2006 the OPA announced total restrictions to the Standard Offer Program derailed every wind, solar, biomass and hydro project in the counties of Bruce, Grey, Huron, Perth, Middlesex, Wellington, Lambton as well as parts of Chatham Kent. The OPA proposes that: Nuclear power in the future is more important than green energy today even though only a fraction of Ontario's population supports the expansion of nuclear plants You can no longer choose your electricity future as you can no longer be part of community-based generation projects or even operate your own projects This would signify that: Farmers, landowners and stakeholders, as well as the municipalities themselves stand to lose millions of dollars in investments and revenue By limiting the expansion of renewable projects today, the government is continuing to add to our pollution levels Dwight Duncan, the Minister of Energy, and your MPP need to hear from you. They need to know that you are not happy with these restrictions and tell the Minister or your MPP that the OPA does not have the right to determine your electricity future. Their commitment to you has been broken. Take Action Today!
