And yet this sort of endorsement for variable renewables like wind and solar hasn’t been common in Canada over the last several years. Only a piddling 5 per cent actually oppose solar, with 7 per cent against wind. The move away from fossil fuel generation, meanwhile, has been slow, with its share falling only 3% between 2015 and 2021.
