And Ontario is, well… Ontario really really likes so-called “natural” gas – a fossil fuel – and plans to use more of it to generate electricity. And now, according to the IESO, emissions from electricity will rise to about 12 MT in 2030, and to over 18 MT in 2040. . of Ontario’s total electricity generation. . How much more?
