Sorry.   CO2 emissions have nothing to do with the problem of smog in Toronto (or anywhere else), because it is not a component of smog in North America.   Smog in Toronto primarily comes from motor vehicles, space heating (in winter) and…

The now-stopped natural gas power plant would have directly impacted local air quality - unlike the old Lakeview Generating Station which didn't due to its operating parameters.   Lakeview GS could have been upgraded to accept partial…

That $ billion would have gone a long way to convert the old Lakeview generating station over to natural gas! Most governments have the reverse Midas touch - everything they touch turns to crap.

"The recently-cancelled construction project ... did not have a “termination-for-convenience” clause and cancellation could cost upwards of $1 billion."

Just saw your post today, have to agree 100%. All of the complaining about power generation is pretty hypocritical as long as we continue to gobble up energy at a voracious rate. If every one who signs this petition against the generating station…

Michael,   I'm sure you're aware that we Canadians are some of the biggest users of energy per capita out of all the G8 countries. Naturally we consume the most energy, because Toronto is the most populated region not only in Ontario,…

The project is in Mississauga.  Writing to Ford, Grimes, and Milczyn is pointless.   They have ZERO jurisdiction.

It can be stopped if enough pressure is put on the Liberal provincial politicians, who approved this plant.   Attend the rally at Le Treport on Queensway Ave on Sept 15…

I have no issue with this petition in a sense. But maybe we should call for people to use their air conditioners less, their appliances less, their computers less, etc... We in Toronto consume by far the greatest proportion of Ontario's energy.…

I signed, but based on the chronology, it seems like the train has left the station on this... All permits were issued and the construction is underway. How can it be stopped now?

Sherway Power Plant (Will affect Etobicoke Air Quality)

There's a 280MW gas power plant under construction in Mississauga which will affect Toronto's air quality. The closest homes, are located about 100 meters from the power plant site. Not the greatest location for a power plant. As you know, much of Etobicoke is directly upwind from the power plant. Our Wards air quality isn't the greatest, so I urge all of you to voice your concerns to the politicians. There will be a rally against the plant in September.Petition against the Power Plant:…See More
