“The plan by Enbridge Gas to build a huge gas pipeline through a provincially significant wetland in Hamilton must be stopped,” the petition states. “This pipeline will be used to import fracked gas into Ontario in order to increase the output of our polluting gas-fired power plants by more than 300%. This will be damaging to our climate and is unnecessary.”
OCAA adds that, “by contracting for low-cost water power from Quebec, and by investing in energy efficiency and cost-effective, made-in-Ontario green energy, Ontario can keep its lights on without increasing its greenhouse gas pollution.”
“Tell your MPP to say no to the new giant Hamilton pipeline and keep American fracked gas out of our natural areas!” Environmental Defence said, in a Facebook ad referring to the protected Beverly swamp.
