It takes years to build new electricity generating facilities. Within 5 years, there will be a shortage, according to the IESO. (the shortage is expected to begin as early as early 2020, according to IESO’s Supply and Demand Outlook (20017-2035). We’ll be buying electricity at a premium by 2023. Ditching renewable energy projects is short-sited. It’s just a political ploy to “save money” now only to be straddling the public with greater costs later. White Pines can be contributing low cost planet friendly electricity right now if completed rather than being destroyed.
