Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA)

The OCAA led the successful campaign to phase-out Ontario’s five dirty coal-fired power plants. They are now working to move Ontario towards a 100% renewable future through an integrated combination of energy conservation and efficiency, water power imports from Quebec and cost-effective Made-in-Ontario green energy.

The phase out of coal power eliminated Ontario’s largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions, and smog builders like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.  It also eliminated a massive source of dangerous particulate matter, which can damage hearts and lungs, and toxins, including mercury, cadmium and lead.

Angela Bischoff is Outreach director for the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. The OCAA is working for a 100% renewable electricity system, and that means phasing out nuclear power. To make advances against the nuclear industry requires vision, persuasion, and perseverance. Her argument against nuclear power is pretty visionary and persuasive.
