Our new report finds that power from new nuclear reactors will cost up to eight times more than power from onshore wind turbines; up to almost six times more than power from solar farms; and up to 2.7 times more than Great Lakes offshore wind.

But despite the fact that nuclear energy will cost us billions more, the Ford Government wants to buy American-designed reactors that require importing enriched uranium from the United States.

Their plan makes no economic or security sense, especially when we have no shortage of better, lower cost and faster to deploy renewable energy options available right now. We can also expand our east-west electricity grid with Manitoba and Quebec.

Please ask Premier Ford to take full advantage of Ontario’s low-cost renewable power and cooperate with our provincial neighbours, instead of wasting billions on risky, untested American nuclear technology. Let’s make Canada a renewable energy superpower! >>>
