What is the quickest way to stop a wind turbine? Build a nuclear reactor, according to environmentalists. Join Executive Director Bruce Cox of Greenpeace Canada and the Centre for Social Concern for an evening on climate change solutions.
The presentation and discussion is scheduled for Tuesday (Mar. 3) at 7:30 p.m. at the Wemple Lounge (King’s University College).
Right now, Ontario is at a crossroads in terms of how electricity is going to be supplied to customers. In the next few weeks the Ontario government will release their Green Energy Act, and decide whether or not to rebuild the Pickering “B” nuclear reactor and potentially launch massive spending on new nuclear stations.
Is pouring millions into new nukes a bad decision for the economy and environment? Will it effectively stop Ontario’s renewable energy potential and fundamentally undermine Canada’s ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions? Should Ontarians back the $40 billion in new nuclear projects or push for more green power?
Admission for the event is free.
