"Democratization of energy is a powerful and positive vision for the future, far more appealing than a world of increasing extremes of wealth and poverty, and consequent violent social unrest... Decentralized and democratized energy systems should be encouraged using means such as the feed-in tariff under Ontario's Green Energy Act."  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=f2a03c88e9&e=01a7182789> Ole Henriskson

Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storage, which is vulnerable to disaster. In Finland the world’s first permanent repository is being hewn out of solid rock - a huge system of underground tunnels - that must last 100,000 years as this is how long the waste remains hazardous.

More clean hydro would be a welcome addition to Ontario’s electricity mix. It could act as a sort of battery to help balance out swings in electricity demand. It would also reduce the need to build new polluting natural gas plants, as currently called for in Ontario’s Long Term Energy Plan. Depending on the amount of power available, clean hydro from Quebec could even help Ontario avoid the ruinously expensive refurbishment of some of its nuclear units.
