To continue the support of nuclear energy in Ontario locks us into an expensive 40-year energy future and slows the development of renewable energy options.
Renewable and abundant and low-cost hydro energy from Quebec can dramatically reduce our energy cost. Moreover it is a more reliable source of baseload energy than nuclear.
Wind and solar options should also be fully exploited because they are low-emissions options that are less expensive than nuclear.
Pickering should be closed now. The Darlington rebuild should be abandoned and eventually closed. Apart from nuclear safety/security concerns, one of the most ignored but expensive consequences of nuclear is the cost of safely storing nuclear waste for 100,000 years. Barring a nuclear catastrophe, this is a cost that must be payed by future generations.
