Ontario Hydro MUST work…

Ontario Hydro MUST work rapidly and consistently towards renewable energy, shut down nuclear reactors, especially those that are long over their shelf-life such as Picking and no new nuclear reactors should be considered given that we must consider the future, the impossibility of solving the nuclear waste problem and the likely possibility of accidents which are equally disastrous for the future of the planet.

Hydro electricity from Quebec should be considered in order to bridge the gap until renewables can handle all of Ontario's electric needs.

CONSERVATION must be emphasized by Hydro!  Instead of commercial's boasting that the present nuclear system is 'clean, cheap and responsible" which is simply not true, they should be advertising the necessity for every business and household to work on using LESS electricity.

This is very easy to do.  In Europe we see cities where 'passive housing' is now mandatory: meaning that no new buildings can be built that don't have insulation and systems which make their use of electricity from minimal to zero.  This is what we should be doing here and the province can make it mandatory.

There are so many solutions!!! and none are being seriously considered.  Our hydro bills are way over the top thanks to the NUCLEAR renovations and rebuilds which tax payers end up paying for. Let's get HONEST about this, and do the right thing which will also lower our hydro bills. Thank you.
