While most of Europe is decommissioning their Nuclear Power Plants, Canada is busy retro-fitting at great cost and concern to it's citizens. Nuclear energy has proven with Chernobyl and Fukushima that it is anything but safe and as our rates attest, is not economical. According to Hydro One's chart, Nuclear Energy represents almost 60% of our energy usage. It is time for us to step back and take a good hard look at what we are doing and why our government continues to support the Nuclear industry. It is past time to look into providing an alternative energy that will give us safe and earth-friendly electricity at a more reasonable cost. We should begin a program to start decommissioning our nuclear plants and investing in safe and affordable energy.  We certainly should be buying more and more of our electricity needs from Quebec.
