The nuclear industry is an important component of Ontario and it's economy. Keeping energy costs down is essential to grow our economy. Nuclear energy is not the ideal source of energy but until fusion energy is developed it is the best source of energy in the quantities we need now. Citizens do not realize how much energy they use on a daily basis. Hydro is cheaper but there is not enough capacity to cover our needs. Renewables are very good but very expensive and not enough capacity to meet the needs at a reasonable cost.
We need a base load so reliability is in the system and coal or any other carbon base fuel is not an option in this day and age. Our current nuclear program is the only source of energy that will do the job. The buildings are in place, let's keep them current, safe and functioning for the good of our community.
