Many studies, including ones from the David Suzuki Foundation and Toronto Atmospheric Fund have shown that Ontario can easily meet its growing electricity demand with renewable sources like wind and solar. It seems obvious that we should remove the middle process and use solar and wind power for our electricity needs directly.

As per Inhabitat : Injecting reflective particles into the high atmosphere could reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface, counteracting the greenhouse gas effect. High CO2 levels would continue to trap heat in the atmosphere, but with less energy coming in, temperatures on the surface would go down.

At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Meanwhile, Lazard, a leading financial advisory and asset management firm, reports that wind power costs were down 66 percent from 2009 to 2016. — .

If renewables are booming and energy efficiency is gaining some traction, greenhouse gases emissions are still growing and the atmospheric concentration of carbon is still rising. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power have become in recent years the cheapest sources of electricity and now account for 8 percent of global electricity.

Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen approximately 47 percent since 1750, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Strategies for capturing carbon from fossil fuel power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere, have long lingered on the sidelines. from 1990–2019.
