Comment
an Ontario Hydro study completed in the 70's concluded that the provinces peak power could be doubled with small hydraulic units placed below already existing dams and natural falls. I believe the peak at that time was not that far below our current level.
Hydro should be publicly owned along with water supply. nuclear power will never be privately owned as it cannot exist without tax payer subsidies. The true cost however of nuclear is as yet unknown, since after the plant stops producing it becomes a consumer of energy. for decades during the "as yet never completed de-commissioning process" also not yet proven is the permanent storage of waste fuel highly lethal for thousands of years.
Add this all together and then consider the oldest nuclear station being adjacent to the most populous city in Canada and a disaster waiting to happen. .............
