I am concerned about Ontario's commitment to centralized nuclear power rather than the renewable sources that whose costs are falling and whose decentralized creation is more appropriate to the climate scientist's warnings of severe erratic weather conditions.  These conditions can badly affect one area's power supply but leave other localized power sources intact making them more appropriate.

In addition, though it would seem hardly necessary to say so, clean energy generation doesn't pollute.  In these days when so many of the very old and very young are affected by air pollution and, in fact, die, clean energy seems like a natural choice.

I was proud of Ontario's choice to get rid of coal power but natural gas, though better than coal, also pollutes.  Green energy doesn't.

Plans for nuclear power are being mothballed around the globe.  Please reconsider the government's decision to go with nuclear power, let go of the danger of a nuclear accident and the need to store radioactive waste safely (which has not yet, anywhere in the world, been done) and go with Green Energy - switch to 100% renewable energy!
