The Toronto Star has published an Opinion/Commentary column by John Barber. He points out that provincial ratepayers have already paid $30 billion over the past few decades for Ontario's "Nuclear Empire," and will still pay $5 billion more in the form of a "Debt Retirement Charge" on their electricity bills.
To make matters worse, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) wants to "refurbish" its four atomic reactors at Darlington nuclear power plant, east of Toronto on the Lake Ontario shore, to the tune of $13 billion more.
In terms of power supply, Barber points to the obvious alternative of hydro power from Quebec.
