Society-IFPTE Local 160 Congratulates Green Party of Ontario on Pro-Nuclear Resolution

The Society of United Professionals - IFPTE Local 160 (the Society) congratulated the Green Party of Ontario on the passage of a resolution at their 2024 Annual General Meeting which reverses a long history of blanket opposition to nuclear energy.

“There is scientific consensus that a significant increase in nuclear energy, in tandem with hydro, non-hydro renewables, storage and other ultra-low emission energy sources, is necessary in order to power the electrification of our economy required to reach net-zero emissions," said Johnston. "Given the Green Party’s long-standing opposition to nuclear energy, we were pleasantly surprised to see this resolution pass. As a party genuinely invested in the fight against climate change, it makes sense to see them recognize that nuclear energy is one of the most potent tools in that fight."
