Ontario

☢ Ontario Could Save Billions By Buying Quebec's Hydro Power <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=dd92b3cc6c&e=45743fde61>  Ontario could avoid refurbishing aging nuclear stations and save over $1 billion annually on electricity bills if the province imported water power from Quebec

☢ Hudak's energy plan flawed <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=e170cfd475&e=45743fde61>  Mr. Hudak’s target — renewable energy sources with fully transparent fixed price contracts — contributed 10% to the increase in Ontario’s electricity generation costs in 2012, while subsidies for nuclear power were responsible for 43%. And now OPG is asking for a 30 per cent increase in the price it is paid for nuclear electricity to start paying for the re-building of its aging Darlington nuclear station.

☢ What about rising hydro costs? <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=bad8e1e1d6&e=45743fde61>  The Ontario Clean Air Alliance is asking Niagara Falls by-election candidates where they stand: Should OPG proceed with the costly re-building of Darlington, or should the province import lower cost water power from Quebec instead and save ratepayers $1 billion / year?

☢ Enbridge gets go-ahead for $685-million GTA pipeline <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=9189ed2932&e=45743fde61>  Ontario Energy Board tells Enbridge it can proceed with huge expansion of line to run mostly along Highway 407 corridor
