Petition started to thwart gas plant

Residents and Environmental Defence have started a petition to demand a green-energy solution to the power plant at the Kodak Lands.

Metrolinx would like to build a 18-megawatt natural-gas plant there to power the Eglinton LRT during power outages, and to provide electricity to the grid during peak pricing. Environmental Defence wants, instead, the “largest rooftop solar project in Canada”.

They would like you to “tell Metrolinx to go solar and ditch the gas plant”.
