Liberal environment critic Iain Rankin, Green Leader Anthony Edmonds and Susan Leblanc, the NDP’s environment and climate change spokesperson, agree more renewables are needed and building clean energy in the province is a positive step, but remain skeptical about the plan’s viability.
On Dec. 7, the province released its Climate Change Plan, which it said will help Nova Scotia reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 53 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.
