The postponement of the Bruce and Darlington facilities construction sites is good BUT by 2024, if the renewable procurement and energy from waste program incentives were not curtailed, it may be that the nuclear will be superfluous.

I really would like to see Ontario stay on a path to renewable energy and phase out its use of nuclear energy as quickly as possible. In this increasingly scary world of climate change deniers, let our leaders keep a vision of hope for a viable future.
Ontario needs to be a leader in Green Energy. We had a good start with the Fit and Micro-Fit program but then the gov't blew it by taking the photo op and running. We could have had a full Green Industry in Ontario by now. Time to step up and fix the mistakes.
Funds must be collected and saved as payment for the 25000 years of storage and guarding of nuclear waste. Future generations must not inherit the liabilities made at present. Where are the funds already collected for this enormous liability?
For rural residents where the cost of replacing existing infrastructure exceeds or is close to the cost of installing energy infrastructure at the customers site, the Hydro One infrastructure should be phased out and stand alone green/ hybrid energy production should be subsidized at the customer
an Ontario Hydro study completed in the 70's concluded that the provinces peak power could be doubled with small hydraulic units placed below already existing dams and natural falls. I believe the peak at that time was not that far below our current level.
Nuclear power starts with the poisoning of (mostly) First Nations communities and children, and it ends with infinitely poisonous waste for which there is still no solution!
This nuclear generation station is outdated and as such dangerous. The lives of over a million people should be more important to you than votes. Show some integrity and close Pickering down now!
The Local Service Boards are being left out of this consultation. I see mention of municipalities, towns, cities, First Nations but no Local Service Boards. We are rural and in desperate need of affordable energy. Ont. Hydro prices have driven many residents to propane or wood.

Generating electricity using nuclear power plants is expensive, dirty, and hinders the development of a robust power grid.

I look forward to seeing Ontario lead the way for Canada in sensible, renewable energy technology and phase out dangerous nuclear power.
It's not a matter of how? But when?

Please move away ASAP from the very dangerous and dirty nuclear power to a safer and greener, cleaner source of energy. The time is now.
Thank you.

Chernobyl! Need I say anymore? That is enough reason to say no to nuclear.
Japan! We are seeing radiated food from that disaster.
The risks outweigh the benefits, it kills!
