Ontario Energy Board won't probe Bruce nuclear overhaul <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=bdba451e36&e=45743fde61>  We need public scrutiny of the multi-billion-dollar contract that is being negotiated in secret between the OPA and Bruce Power to rebuild six reactors at the Bruce nuclear generating station. If this deal is signed it'll be the largest private sector contract ever signed by the Gov't of ON costing consumers between $60 and $111 billion and locking us into nuclear for decades.

T.O. Sun Op Ed by Jack Gibbons, OCAA

☢ Ontario, Quebec sign deals on electricity, climate change <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=24a6a309d6&e=45743fde61>  Ontario and Quebec signed a joint agreement to expand electricity trade with each other. In 2015, Ontario will provide 500 megawatts of electricity to Quebec in winter, when demand in that province peaks. In summer, Quebec will be prepared to offer 500 megawatts of electricity to Ontario as its demand peaks in hot weather.

☢ Quebec-Ontario alliance trumps Stephen Harper snub <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=181fb29582&e=45743fde61>  Together, they (QC and ON) are laying the groundwork for a Central Canadian axis of power (sharing) that is both political and electrical — with environmental and electoral benefits.

☢ Leak at Pickering nuclear plant <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=68a48abf8a&e=45743fde61>  Nearly 7,000 litres of heavy water were leaked inside the building last week, caused by a faulty pipe valve in Unit 7.

☢ Ontario, Don't Dump Our Money Into Rebuilding an Outdated Power Station <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=1b58b25422&e=45743fde61>  The Ontario government has a decision to make: Raise your electricity bill to rebuild the Darlington Nuclear Station or lower your bill with water power from Quebec.

☢ Lake Huron Radioactive Waste Dump Should be Rejected <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=2a6bf5d91b&e=45743fde61>  The proposed Deep Geological Repository for radioactive waste being considered by Canada’s Joint Review Panel is such a bad idea that even pro-nuclear Republican US senators like Illinois’ Mk are against it. Dozens of cities along the Great Lakes have formally opposed the craziness of burying leaky tins of radiation in a watershed that serves H2O to 40 million people.

☢ Darlington nuclear review deemed sufficient <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=daca95f892&e=45743fde61>  A judge has rejected environmental groups’ request for a more extensive environmental review of plans to overhaul the Darlington nuclear station. Boo.
