I am writing primarily regarding the cost involved in the refurbishment of the province's aging nuclear fleet and especially Pickering. With the cost involved together with the financial support provided by the province in subsidies (I believe $700 million last year) the cost per Kwh exceeds that of alternative sources of generation.

 

In my humble opinion it is far more practical to source as much clean hydro power as possible from Quebec and go full steam ahead with renewables.

 

It seems to me that this is a difficult political decision due to the fact it is very hard to explain to the public at large the complexities of electricity supply and how the whole system works. Having said this I beg the government to do the right thing as suggested above and move as quickly as possible to the most environmentally sound sources of power generation.

 

Thank you
