Because money can't be spent twice, every dollar spent on nuclear plants is a dollar diverted away from investments in creating a green grid powered by renewable energy.

The OPA's electricity plan effectively "caps" the development of renewable energy because of its focus on large, centralized generation stations, particularly nuclear generator, and imposes a "nuclear ceiling" over the renewable energy industry in Ontario, sending a message to the market that opportunities for renewable and conservation industries in Ontario are limited.

The best opportunity to "get  more green" into Ontario's electricity supply mix is to allow clean, sustainable sources of power to replace ageing nuclear reactors when they reach the end of their operational lives.  

A recent Ekos poll shows Ontarians support replacing old nuclear stations with Green Energy.
