Ontario

☢ Ottawa businesses feel powerless with rising hydro rates <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=58d18997f6&e=45743fde61>  Energy bills in Ontario expected to rise 42 per cent over next 5 years

☢ Ontario's 33% electricity rate hike concerns Tecumseh mayor <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=f39fdb1082&e=45743fde61>  And it should – high electricity rates are bad for business. Subsidies for nuclear electricity raised our costs by 43% in 2012 alone. OPG is now asking for another 30% rate increase for future nuclear projects. We have lower cost options.

☢ No nuclear waste for two Bruce County communities <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=04997bf4ee&e=45743fde61>  Saugeen Shores and neighbouring Arran-Elderslie have been ruled unsuitable as sites to store all of Canada’s high-level nuclear fuel waste, though Brockton, South Bruce, and Huron-Kinloss are still in the running. One town in Saskatchewan also remains a candidate for the 1-million years toxic waste site, as do a string of locations in Northern Ontario.

☢ Ontario ratepayers last year paid $1 billion to dump cheap electricity into neighbouring states and provinces <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=e83ff2416f&e=45743fde61>
