We all know that to successfully address climate change we need to phase out fossil fuels and switch to electric power. Unfortunately, the current Ontario government’s plan is to burn more fossil gas to generate power. . Between 2009 and 2016, Ontario built over 2000 MW of solar power and about 3000 MW of wind power.

By the turn of the century, and possibly well before then, without very large reductions in fossil fuel burning, night-time temperatures will not fall below 25°C in some places during hot weather. We must cut carbon emissions – or future summers will be long, hot and sleepless.
