I unsterstand that you are…

I unsterstand that you are collecting public perceptions about power source options.

Over the years we have learned about the negative impact fossil fuels had on our climate. Nuclear power offers us power that does not create harmful greenhouse gases, while still being reliable and affordable.

In the near future we may start to see more electric vehicles on our roadways.  Where are we houng to get the power for those vehicles?  Solar and wind power installations do not offer sufficent output to power our homes and electric cars.  The cost of wind and solar also make electric vehicles unaffordable to operate.

Let us also not forget that wind and solar power need to be backed up with natural gas plants when it is cloudy or winds are calm.  This negates the green properties of wind and solar power. Nuclear power does not need to be backed up with power from a natural gas plant.  Nuclear plants operate safely and reliably 24/7/365.

I want my children to have a future with 0 emmissions vehicles.  But we will never reach that day relying on only wind and solar.

I encourage the Government of Ontario to expand the use of Nuclear Power, so we can make Ontario a place to grow again.
