Dear Ontario Energy Planners;
If life as we know it survives the next 20 or 30 years, science tells us that we will have to use almost 100% renewable energy sources. If this is our target for survival then I think this should be our goal current goal as well.
Nuclear, while cleaner by GHG emission standards, is very expensive to build, monitor, maintain, and decommission. Investing similar amounts in developing renewable energy could not only be cost effective but would actually be working to get us to our end target.
Building the needed transmission lines to Import cheaper hydro electricity from Quebec or elsewhere is a sound investment and a clean renewable option.
We also must stop or reverse the sell-off of public power generation to private interests that only add large profit taxes to our electricity bills. Privatization has not worked, at least for the public.
Sincerely,
Doug Green
