Ontario

☢ Nuclear power continues to push up electricity rates <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=29b20bdb15&e=45743fde61>  Ontario’s residential electricity rates will rise by 3.4% on November 1st.

But fighting one dump doesn't go deep enough. Ontario needs to stop producing nuclear waste altogether.

A new study finds that Germany has physical space for roughly 50% more onshore wind capacity than the country would need for 100% green electricity. If densely populated Germany could do it, what’s stopping Canada?
