Premier Ford: Cut my bill!
Premier Ford has pledged to cut our hydro bills by 12%. Here's how he can do it: Buy low-cost water power from our neighbours in Quebec. Quebec has a huge power surplus and is eager to sell more electricity to Ontario. In fact, it has offered to sell us lots of electricity at less than one-third the price of re-building the aging Darlington Nuclear Station. The difference is billions of dollars.
Three Options to Reduce Ontario’s Electricity Costs
This report outlines three ways in which the Ford Government could actually reduce electricity costs. We outline how the government could save electricity users anywhere from $1.1 to $7.4 billion per year.
Ontario’s Rising Electricity Rates: The Role of Nuclear Power
This factsheet looks at how nuclear power has had by far the largest impact on Ontario's rising electricity rates.

Ontario has many lower cost options for meeting its electricity needs than rebuilding old nuclear reactors. Our factsheet demonstrates that the decision to rebuild 10 aging reactors makes little economic sense.
Making the Right Choice for Pickering's Waterfront
The Pickering Nuclear Station takes up 600 acres of prime waterfront real estate in the City of Pickering. When North America’s 3rd oldest nuclear station closes in 2024, this means that there will be an exciting chance for the people of Pickering to revitalize their waterfront – and their community.
