"It is not right to say that a catastrophic accident is impossible. The worst possible accident could involve the spread of radioactive poisons over large areas, killing thousands immediately, killing others through increased susceptibility to cancer, risking genetic defects that could affect future generations, and possibly contaminating large land areas for future habitation or cultivation". -  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=b9587525db&e=45743fde61> Dr. Rosalie Burtell

Ontario

☢ Government moves up coal phase out deadline – we’re almost there! <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=9f5a222e48&e=45743fde61>   We at OCAA would like to thank all of you for making this enormous victory possible.  It was your letters, emails, phone calls and doorstep chats with election candidates that convinced every major political party in Ontario to endorse phasing out coal.  Without such a strong public outcry to address the province’s No. 1 industrial source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, we would not be where we are today.  You did it and you should be proud of what you have accomplished – the No. 1 greenhouse gas reduction action in North America.
 

☢ From the horse’s mouth: the Ontario PC plan to abandon green and go nuclear <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=7cc63d8c4c&e=45743fde61>  McNaughton spews mistruths about the high cost of wind and fails to mention the much higher cost of going nuclear.

 

☢ Opposition grows to burying radioactive waste <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=8fa4e095c7&e=45743fde61>  Opposition is growing as five communities in Bruce County have moved one step closer to having highly radioactive waste buried along the shores of Lake Huron.

 

☢ How prepared is Ontario for a nuclear accident? Answer: It’s not. <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=e3d5010df4&e=45743fde61>  By Greenpeace.
