Yes and we need to relook at nuclear power and ultra large scale electricity storage technologies beyond just battery farms. Pumped hydroelectric battery reservoir lakes should be seriously looked at, they also would work as flood control basins.

Yes I think there should be efforts to invest in renewable sources. But we should not rely on these energy sources. We should also use Fossil fuels and other energy sources and other sources as well that will help advance our economy and create profit that can be invested or saved for later.

The government should subsidize research for feasible large scale energy alternatives. Not production or consumption.

 @B9TLVGMfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

The question isn’t really whether the federal government should be involved, but how and to what extent. Most developed countries use a mix of subsidies, regulations, and carbon pricing to steer energy markets toward cleaner outcomes. In the U.S., federal support for renewables has been a key driver in the sector’s growth over the past decade, contributing to significant cost reductions in solar and wind.

Thus, a well-designed, time-limited subsidy strategy—paired with complementary policies—could be justified as a transitional tool to achieve long-term public benefits in climate stability, health, and energy independence.

I think we should use both Nuclear and Renewable energy together as it would be both efficient and safe for the environment.

 @B8XPDSWfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, for production the cost should be covered but I don't believe the government should be responsible for the cost of renewable energy sources' consumption.

 @B8W2Y3Yfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

I believe the government should research into new alternative fuel sources that are more energy efficient and more effective then our current when we're going to Source but should still have large amounts of research and development into normal fuel sources and more long-term fuel sources like nuclear geothermal and hydroelectric and just have wind solar and other such fuel sources more as the backup version of the grid great a kiss of emergencies
