Renewables are affordable because they don’t need fuel. So affordable that electricity is being provided for free in the UK and Australia. We need to stop burning stuff for energy! thestar.com/news/canada/they…

They get free electricity to run AC and charge EVs. Why is Canada missing out?

Australia and the U.K. have more solar and wind power than their electrical systems know what to do with — so they’re giving it away.

AI data centres around the world are using up too much energy & water. Toronto needs to pause approvals of new large data centres until their full impacts are known. Read our letter to Council here: assets.nationbuilder.com/toe… #topoli

We did it! 📢 The Feds are blocking the Toronto Island airport jet expansion. Working alongside many allies, through community canvassing, outreach & thousands of emails to Federal MPs, it's clear, we don't want jets on Toronto Island. People power works. Thanks to everyone!
