Premier McGuinty wants to nuke Ontario’s green future. He wants to spend $26 billion to build new, dangerous and untested reactors at Darlington to replace the aging Pickering reactors, which are set to shut down in 2020.
Spending billions on new nuclear reactors will lock Ontario into a nuclear future and limit the growth of green energy. Premier McGuinty can and should instead use affordable green energy to replace Pickering.
On August 24th, please join us on the Ride for Renewables. Green energy advocates will ride from the Pickering nuclear station to Darlington to tell Premier McGuinty don’t nuke green energy.
