NO NUKES IS GOOD NEWS    Re "Dalton's nuclear dilemma" (Christina Blizzard, April 8): Toronto Sun, April 10, 2009, Letters to the Editor

The record of the nuclear energy in Ontario is one of cost overruns, poor reliability, and unaddressed safety concerns. Every nuclear plant has run over-budget in Ontario, cost estimates for new plants have doubled, and we still don't know where to store radioactive waste. We don't need new nuclear
plants to keep the lights on or to create jobs. The best way to meet our electricity needs, stimulate new jobs and protect the environment is to ramp up
conservation and renewable energy targets, pursue ignored power sources such as high efficiency plants that use gas for heat and power (cogeneration) and hydro imports from Quebec, and establish a 60% made-in-Ontario requirement for new renewable energy projects.
