US thermal networks are heating entire communities. Ontario should be next
Thermal energy is in the soil and rock beneath our streets and buildings and in the wastewater that flows through our sewer lines. It’s abundant, local and emission-free.

In the context of U.S. President Trump’s tariff war, it makes sense for Canada to reassess our energy needs. But it makes no sense to expand #OilAndGas infrastructure in the midst of growing worldwide climate chaos. 🛢

Two things to remember:
1) We’ve made real progress on climate change.
2) Despite Trump, we’ll continue to make progress.

NEW DATA: China's wind+solar overtakes thermal capacity🙌
39GW of solar added in Jan-Feb - a million solar panels per day🤯+ 9GW of wind
Thermal generation still dwarfs wind+solar, but new wind+solar (+nuclear+hydro) is broadly meeting elec demand growth, halting further rises

And the good news is . . .
So many of our problems begin with this.
New @policyalternatives.ca report shows local news access declining in Canada as the threat of disinformation grows. Today nearly 2.5 million Canadians live in a postal code with no local news outlet—double the proportion in 2008. Yet, there are solutions! ➡️
News deprivation | CCPA
The last 16 years have not been kind to local news outlets in Canada. Now 2.5 million Canadians don’t have access to local news. That’s a problem for our democracy.
