Dear Editor, Amidst a record cost-of-living crisis, many conservative politicians are pitting affordability against climate action. There is a mountain of evidence demonstrating that renewable energy is the cheapest source of electricity on the market, and will only get cheaper while fossil fuel prices will only become more volatile. Fossil fuel CEOs are turning record profits while charging consumers exorbitant prices and spreading blatant misinformation about renewable energy. This misinformation is hurting workers who are missing out on good jobs in the renewable energy industry; working class Canadians who are missing out on cheap, green electricity; and everyone who has an interest in inhabiting a livable planet! We can’t accept a life of climate disaster after climate disaster while we’re all just trying to make ends meet. Cheap, clean, renewable energy is the key to a better future. Adrian Bollard
