It’s time to power up renewable energy and step off the gas in Manitoba!
We need to prepare Manitoba for climate change, create green jobs, and support Indigenous leadership and low-income households in the energy transition. We need solutions that address the affordability crisis and climate crisis at the same time.
Now is the time to invest in Manitoba’s huge potential for solar and wind energy through community-based and Indigenous-led renewable energy projects. This can create green jobs, meet growing energy demand, and reduce reliance on hydro power during increasing drought conditions.
Now is the time to ban natural gas in new buildings and infrastructure, and move to electric and geothermal heating. We need to transition off of fossil fuels in our homes, to reduce climate change and improve health.
Now is the time to increase energy efficiency to reduce energy demand and save Manitobans money on their energy bills.
Tell Manitoba’s Premier, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and the Minister of Manitoba Hydro and Finance that Manitobans want:
- The green light on wind, solar, and geothermal
- To ban natural gas in new buildings
- Investments in energy efficiency, including for low income and rental households
