安大略省政府扩大了天然气的使用,扭转了使用清洁电力的趋势。 Ontario government expands natural gas use, reversing trend toward cleaner electricity.

尽管专家建议减少对天然气的依赖,安大略政府正在推进扩大天然气基础设施的计划。 Despite expert recommendations to reduce reliance on natural gas, the Ontario government is pushing ahead with plans to expand natural gas infrastructure. 政府委托一份150万美元的报告, 显示风能及电热泵大幅增加, 但忽略了到2050年淘汰天然气的建议。 The government commissioned a $1.5 million report suggesting a major increase in wind energy and electric heat pumps, but ignored advice to phase out gas by 2050. 这项决定已经使安大略省的电力系统不那么清洁,从2021年的94%的无排放下降到现在的87%。 This decision has already made Ontario's electricity system less clean, dropping from 94% emissions-free in 2021 to 87% now.
