Stop OPG's 30% price increase

The Issue

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) wants a 30% increase in the price it is paid for nuclear electricity to fund the re-building of its aging Darlington nuclear station. But we don’t need expensive power from re-built Darlington reactors — we can import low-cost, renewable water power from Quebec instead.  It is time for the Ontario Government to negotiate a long-term electricity supply contract with Quebec instead of wasting more money re-building aging and dangerous nuclear reactors.

We can get electricity from Quebec at less than half the cost of electricity from re-built Darlington reactors!

It makes sense for Ontario to save money by canceling the Darlington Rebuild and replacing the power with lower cost, safer water power from Quebeck.
