The Ontario Clean Air Alliance has long campaigned for Ontario to replace nuclear energy with hydro-electric power imported from Quebec.

By any measure the Darlington rebuild is a bad investment. We can create better jobs for Ontario’s nuclear workers by transitioning their expertise into jobs as the global experts in decommissioning nuclear plants.
