As a former professional engineer, Ministry of Energy staff member and Amethyst Award recipient, I have had an informed career in energy management. It appears to me that the Liberal government is more interested in retaining power and satisfying the needs of the senior executives of the various hydro authorities and union members in the province than serving the needs of the voting and general public. The rehabilitation of nuclear reactors past their "best before date" is a travesty and risks the safety and security of all citizens living in the GTA. In addition, since there are no reliable, proven means of storing nuclear waste for the long term the Government of Ontario is putting the water quality of the Great Lakes system, St, Lawrence River and possibly even the Atlantic Ocean at risk. Safety and security, not the economic well being of political parties, MLAs, utility executives and power worker union members should be the government's top responsibility. Stop listening to energy industry lobbyists and listen to those who have given your government the legal responsibility and authority to legislate and act in their best interests, the voting public, their families, and heirs.
