Please consider making a financial tax-deductible contribution to the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. With your help we can move Ontario onto a 100% renewable future.

☢ Dr. Ian Fairlie on Pickering's Tritium Problem <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=bddcd1f3cf&e=45743fde61>  In this 4 minute video Dr. Ian Fairlie addresses the high tritium releases at Ontario's nuclear stations. Tritium is a carcinogen (causes cancer), a mutagen (causes mutations to DNA), and a teratogen (causes deformations of the embryo during pregancy). Even low rates of tritium exposure can lead to cancer, leukemia and birth defects. Dr. Fairlie recommends that Pickering be shuttered in 2018 when its current licence expires rather than be extended another decade at OPG's request.

☢ Electricity Costs in Ontario <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=4089ef7ca6&e=45743fde61>  Proposed rebuilds of the Bruce and Darlington nuclear power stations are by far the largest areas of risk for further cost increases, given the well-established history of delays and massive cost overruns on previous nuclear projects in Ontario.

They have more than 3000 MW of power for export. Ontario should buy it rather than extend and rebuild aging and high cost nuclear reactors!

As Arnie explains, it’s not a matter of whether the people operating nuclear stations are good or bad. It’s about how forty good years can end with one bad day.
