Will Mark Carney protect Ontario from rising electricity bills? We can't walk blindly into higher power costs, PM Carney. Please direct the IAAC to examine the potential for low-cost renewables to meet our power needs.

Will Mark Carney protect Ontario from rising electricity bills?

A $230B nuclear proposal is moving forward—while cheaper wind, solar + storage are ignored.

Why isn't the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada reviewing the alternatives?

A Tale of Two Provinces: Ontario Bets on Nuclear, Quebec on Wind Both projects aim to produce the same amount of electricity: 10,000 MW; Ontario, with the largest and most expensive nuclear reactor complex in the world; Quebec, with the largest wind energy development in North America.

Two provinces. Two paths.

⚛️ Ontario → expensive nuclear
🌬️ Québec → scaling wind

Demand is rising. Costs matter.

So why bet on the most expensive option?

Hydro-Québec turns to the wind power as grid demand surges The utility's landmark renewable energy auction sees it seeking to add up to 9 gigawatts of new power capacity by 2035 to meet fast-rising demand.

Hydro-Québec has pledged 50 per cent of all development benefits – from construction jobs to revenues from operational wind farms – to go to communities near the project sites: shorturl.at/77aXG

The most expensive option no more, Ontario’s new wind and solar projects bring the promise of far cheaper power With the new plants, solar is set to go from Ontario’s most expensive source of power to one of the least.

“Wind & solar, combined with battery storage, can provide reliable 24/7 electricity at a much lower cost than new nuclear reactors.”

New Oil and Gas Projects Heighten Canada's Financial Risk With the transition away from fossil fuels under way, gaining momentum, and picking up  a major boost from the past month of energy price shocks, Canadian banks, provinces, and the larger economy remain heavily exposed to the financial risk of continuing to prop up oil and gas companies, warns Carbon Tracker.
