(Niagara At Large is posting the following media release from the Toronto-based Ontario Clean Air Alliance for our readers’ information.)
Don’t Let Nuclear Projects Blow Our Electricity Bills Through The Roof! 
Despite the fact that Ontario electricity use has fallen by 10% (while GDP increased) since 2005, plans to spend tens of billions of $$ on new nuclear projects are moving full-steam ahead. That’s money that could be spent on energy efficiency (where Ontario still lags behind most of its major competitors), more renewable power, and safe combined heat and power technology.
With the province struggling to address a $19 billion deficit, there has never been a better time to end the expensive nuclear goose chase. This is the year that will decide where Ontario dollars flow: into more bloated nuclear projects or into more cost-effective options.
You can help ensure Ontario makes the right choice by helping to distribute our new pamphlet: Don’t Let Nuclear Projects Blow Our Electricity Bills through the Roof! They’re free! And they contain postcards to Energy Minister Bentley.
Spreading the word to your friends, colleagues and neighbourhoods helps us tremendously when it comes to getting attention from Queen’s Park for our smarter alternatives. Order your free and beautiful leaflets today and make sure the province starts the New Year off right!
Thanks for your help!
And if you’re in Toronto, please join OCAA’s chair Jack Gibbons and me in a discussion about Ontario as a coal- and nuclear-free province: Mon. Jan. 23rd, 7 p.m., at Toronto Metro Hall, Rm. #310 (John/King).
Is it do-able to meet all our electricity needs without nuclear or coal? Absolutely! Find out how. And plug in!

The people of Germany are getting rid of and shutting down all their Nuclear Power Plants ASAP. and replacing them with solar and wind power, even on cloudy days they still get power from the solar panels,excees power can be stored in hydrogen batteries and released when needed. The German people are on board with this revolutionary concept, sustainability in power generation, with none polluting sources of energy.and it is paying off with clean air and health benefits.The German people are finally following the right piper.
