Ontario to Phase Out Coal - Sooner Or Later

from the promises-promises dept.
On September 18, 2002 Ontario's Minister of the Environment, Chris Stockwell, announced that Ontario's coal-fired power plants will be completely phased-out by 2015. Mr. Stockwell's promise is the most significant commitment ever made by a Government of Ontario to reduce air pollution. However, Ontario cannot endure 13 more years of smog alerts before the coal plants are phased out. In the absence of a coal phase-out, the Ontario Medical Association is forecasting that 29,440 Ontarians will die from air pollution between 2003 and 2015. Furthermore, our children will suffer needless asthma attacks. This is simply unacceptable. More, below, including how you can help speed this up...
Dalton McGuinty and Howard Hampton are calling for a coal phase-out by 2007.
It is time for Premier Eves to step in and develop a strategy to completely phase-out Ontario’s coal plants well before 2015.
Please contact Premier Eves, at this address, and thank him for his Government’s commitment to phase-out Ontario's dirty coal-fired power plants. Please ask Premier Eves to direct Ontario Power Generation to phase-out its coal-fired power plants well before 2015.
Please pass this message on to your friends.
Thank you.
