Conclutions About Our Province's Nuclear Power

           Nuclear power is the only source of electricity that is emission free and powerful enough to be the main energy source in Ontario.  Reducing the needs for oil and coal-fired plants.  With eight new reactors they can cut the fossil fuel industry by 70% including all of the coal-fired plants.  That would take care of 50% of carbon dioxide emissions.  Nuclear power is already responsible for 50% of Ontario’s power consumption.  If the OPG were to build eight more reactors, that would make nuclear responsible for 65% of power in Ontario.  Nuclear power is up for that kind of challenge. The only way that we can keep going the way we are going; when it comes to population and industry; is that of eliminating the need for fossil fuels that expel carbon dioxide.  The cars in Ontario already produce enough emissions as it is.  Nuclear reactors are designed to meet very strict specifications that are always being changed to meet with new state of the art technologies of the present and future.  So the generating plants are literally as safe as they possibly could be at this point in time.  Nuclear power is the future in Ontario.
