The road to 100 per cent renewable electricity
Renewables are not only THE sustainable energy choice, they’re also the most affordable form of electricity in history. This is a BIG deal. For years, the higher cost of solar and wind were used as reasons not to divest from dirty energy sources like coal and oil. Now there are no excuses.
We’re working to get the federal government to commit to reach 100 per cent zero-emissions electricity throughout Canada by 2035. This is a massive endeavour, and we need your help to fund this work and much more over the coming year.
There are many challenges ahead. Fossil fuel companies continue to rake in obscene profits, driving up home heating costs. Canada needs to build infrastructure to properly store and distribute renewable energy throughout the grid. We need to move quickly to create the system changes we need.
Your year-end gift today will help push Canada even further to end of fossil fuel supremacy — locally and globally by:
- Transitioning quickly to renewable energy.
- Stopping fossil fuel expansion, capping oil and gas emissions and supporting a tax on the sector’s windfall profits.
- Finding new ways to push for climate justice.
And more…
