Ontario needs to unburden itself from nuclear power as soon as possible.  Instead of dumping more money into the production of nuclear waste, risks to millions of people, and radioactive contamination of our water and air, we should instead be investing in energy conservation, energy efficiency, energy storage, and renewable energy.

We should close Pickering immediately and begin its decommissioning immediately thereafter.  We should cancel the project to rebuild Darlington, and for much less money, upgrade our transmission capacity to import more electricity from Quebec.

Nuclear power is extraordinarily dangerous, dirty, and expensive.  Our reactors are among the worst in the world, as is our federal nuclear regulator.  We have so many problems that OPG and CNSC are failing to address, and the disinterest shown by our politicians is alarming.

Nuclear power makes global warming worse.  This was a conclusion presented in Montreal earlier this year (2016):

Please act responsibly by euthanizing the nuclear power industry so that renewable energy can thrive.  Thank you in advance.
