Fossil gas, which is used for heating, electricity, and industrial processes, is responsible for one third of Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions and is harmful to human health. These new gas plant projects are part of the province’s plan to expand the use of fossil gas to generate electricity for the province, but it comes at a high cost.
