Great Lakes offshore wind could power the region and beyond States take the lead on regulation of planning, site selection, leasing and other elements of offshore wind projects in the Great Lakes, though the federal government has a role as well.

#Offshorewind on the #GreatLakes could provide power to millionsβ€”but #Ontario still blocks it.

@oncleanair.bsky.social ,amongst many others, are calling for a lift on the moratorium.

It’s time to tap this #renewable energy source. πŸŒŠπŸ’¨

Atlantic Canada is pitching $8B in clean energy, offshore wind & new transmission. Meanwhile, Ontario is rebuilding gas plants and cancelling renewables. One region is building the future. The other is stuck in the past.

Will PM Carney Leave #Ontario Behind?

Ontario needs more power and new markets for our steel and copper. Building out solar & wind can deliver both. Clean energy brings lower costs, good jobs, & energy security. Why not invest in a future we can all benefit from?

Great Lakes wind power: Now is the time! - Ontario Clean Air Alliance

Offshore wind can be developed in an environmentally responsible manner and can supply power at almost half the cost of new nuclear reactors.

They will also take a fraction of the time to build.

Trump administration cancels plans to develop new offshore wind projects The Trump administration is canceling plans to use large areas of federal waters for new offshore wind development, the latest step to suppress the industry in the United States.

While Trump cancels new offshore wind projects in the US, Canada is moving forward. Newfoundland is unlocking its offshore wind potential.

This is the kind of leadership Ontario needs if we are serious about jobs, clean power & energy independence.

Why are Canada and Ontario stuck on fossil fuels and nuclear when more than nine in 10 renewable power projects globally are now a fraction of the cost of dirty fossil fuel and nuclear alternatives?

Were asking Premier Ford & Prime Minister Carney to use Ontario-made steel for renewable energy projects.

Doug Ford is making Ontario even more dependent on US.

Over the past eight years Ontario has sharply increased American gas use and Ford plans to burn even more going forward.

Add your voice to stand up for Ontario.

The renewable energy revolution is a feat of technology | Rebecca Solnit An energy revolution is underway in this century, though most people have not noticed it

The renewable energy revolution is already underway. It is faster than new nuclear, cleaner than fossil fuels, and more affordable than ever.

We do not need to wait for the future. We just need leaders with the courage to step into it.

It gets worse β€” Ontario’s government has locked us into decades of high-cost nuclear while ignoring cheaper, faster options like solar, wind, and stronger grid connections.

We’re paying more for less, & falling further behind on climate.

Ontario’s energy plan is headed backwards.

Nuclear is rising to 75%. Renewables are falling to 25%.

Yet PM Mark Carney is offering zero support for Ontario clean energy β€” no rooftop solar, no wind, no new transmission.

Ontario deserves better.
