ANGELA BISCHOFF CONTRIBUTOR Angela Bischoff is director of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.
EXCERPT:
"So, the calculus is simple. On one hand, we have a fading technology — nuclear now generates half the power it did worldwide 10 years ago — with rising costs and security concerns and a history of bringing in projects behind schedule and massively over budget."
On the other hand, a 100 per cent renewable system where costs continue to plummet, technology — including storage — is leaping ahead and safety is about making sure workers wear harnesses, not radiation monitors. Which one would you choose for your neighbourhood?"
