New GTA reactor a bad plan
Solar and wind energy are a much better way to meet our energy needs than building a new nuclear reactor in the Greater Toronto Area.
Lower electricity costs
Ontario's electricity prices are 50% to 90% higher than Manitoba's and Quebec's. The reason is simple. While Quebec and Manitoba have built their electricity systems around low-cost water power, Ontario has bet big -- and lost -- on high cost nuclear.
Ontario’s Coal Phase out: Lessons from a massive climate achievement
Ending the use of coal-fired electricity was a massive climate achievement -- the equivalent of taking seven million cars off the road. This report looks at how this remarkable success was achieved and the lessons learned from one of the biggest environmental success stories in recent times.
Helping our climate by phasing-out Ontario’s gas plants
The GHG pollution from Ontario’s gas-fired power plants will increase by more than 300% by 2030 as the province uses gas to replace aging nuclear plants. If this occurs, Ontario will lose roughly 40% of the pollution reduction benefits it achieved by phasing-out its dirty coal plants. We have a better plan for Ontario to keep the lights on while shifting to renewable power and phasing out gas.
