Toronto also has Wind Towers on the Lakefront, providing 3000 homes with power...but rumour says they are not actually attached to the grid. The province is still promoting Nuclear Power Generation as clean power and pushing to have several plants. Do we want another "3 Mile Island"? The radiation after the life of the nuclear plant could last for 500 years and the true impact has not been tested. Mass generation and production of any product in mass is detrimental to sustainable development. Fortunately enough individuals and small organizations are putting things in place. Solar panels and green roofs are popping up everywhere in Toronto. There are several geothermal companies, yep in Toronto. Many grass route and municipal networks, both online and off are promoting "green projects, initiatives and ideas", so the infrastructure is certainly starting. We are in the infancy stage, like computers and the internet, the breakthroughs in the next decade will be incredible...looking forward to the real changes. It's refreshing. A shame it wasn't forced...natural change is much more enlightening.

"Hey we can do something that implies we are green and it will save us money because it's less work". If they introduced a policy to use renewable energy and green cleaning products then that would be a better indication that they cared about the environment. Hi AD
