Escalating demand for electricity, combined with the difficulty of replacing aging infrastructure, is in conflict with the goals of reducing air pollution, global warming, and the environmental impact of fossil fuel production. Sound public policy is essential to address these issues and ensure a reliable and economical supply of electricity, yet political solutions remain elusive. Current Affairs brings together national and international experts on electricity and environment to discuss behavioural and institutional changes needed for Ontario to achieve a sustainable electricity future Book jacket.
