With the prospect of plentiful clean hydro from Quebec that could meet the needs of all Ontario's energy customers at low cost, it is foolish to seek to preserve the most poisonous form of power generation left:  the nuclear power plants at Darlington and Pickering.  These toxic waste generators should be shut down before they cause another cancer case!  These poisonous leftovers from the darkness of the 1950s should be shut down immediately.  If the Province is concerned about jobs, it should not be.  Decommissioning nuclear power plants provide years of well-paid jobs, and the workers have the satisfaction of making the world a better place.

The time to invest in clean, green renewable energy is NOW.  Buying Quebec's excess power would make life cheaper and greener for most Ontarians.  We can clean up our air, clean up our water and have sufficient power to transition to a low carbon future, but only if we STOP THE NUKES.
