Premier Doug Ford stated that Ontario will attempt to reach its climate change emission reduction goals by 2030. Internal documents reveal the province is projected to miss its target by three megatonnes. Ford emphasized a commitment to nuclear energy to aid the electricity grid transition. Environment Minister Todd McCarthy had previously stated the province was on track, contradicting internal memos. Ontario's plan includes the construction of four small modular nuclear reactors, which will not be operational until the end of 2030, raising questions about timing.
Despite internal documents indicating Ontario is projected to miss its climate change target by three megatonnes in 2030, Premier Doug Ford insists the province will strive to achieve its goals.
Ford affirmed, "Our goal is always to hit 100 per cent and we'll do it as quickly as possible," showcasing the government's determination to address emissions despite warnings.
Environment Minister Todd McCarthy initially claimed that Ontario was on track to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030 but was contradicted by internal documents.
Ontario plans to build four small modular nuclear reactors as part of its climate strategy, yet the first reactor will not be operational until the end of 2030.
