Here are 9 good reasons why Premier Kathleen Wynne should send any agreement to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for a full public review.

Belgium has adopted a nuclear phaseout plan that foresees the complete abandonment of nuclear energy by 2025.

Dr. Gordon Edwards said that over a long period of time the metal containers in which the waste is stored will disintegrate. What also concerns him is the possibility of the nuclear waste, once moved to a central location, being reprocessed to extract plutonium for sale or for further generation of electricity.

The poll also found increased support for a B.C.-style revenue neutral carbon tax, with 56 percent now strongly or "somewhat" supporting a tax on carbon emissions.

But 23,700 green energy jobs across Canada is just a fraction of the 375,000 green energy jobs in Germany.
