☢ 9 good reasons why we need a public review of a Bruce Nuclear deal <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=961a666488&e=45743fde61>  The Ontario Power Authority and Bruce Power are secretly negotiating a multi-billion dollar deal to rebuild four aging reactors at the Bruce B Nuclear Station. Here are 9 good reasons why Premier Kathleen Wynne should send any agreement to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for a full public review.

☢ In this 18 min. video Jack Gibbons, OCAA <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=5d0d7fbdfa&e=45743fde61>  explains how and why we can avoid rebuilding Darlington and Bruce nuclear stations with a combination of lower cost water power from Quebec, conservation and made-in-ON green energy.

Likewise, Ontario should negotiate a long term deal with QC rather than rebuild Darlington.
