We strongly support OPG\u2019s request for a 10-year licence renewal for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station,\u201d said CNA President and CEO John Barrett. \u201cThe polling results confirm that OPG also has the public\u2019s confidence to continue operations at Pickering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The poll also found that 74% of Ontarians believe Pickering is an important part of Ontario\u2019s climate change goals, and 80% feel Pickering helps provide a stable and reliable source of energy.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was based on telephone interviews among Ontario residents aged 18 and older. The data was weighted by age, gender and region using the most recent Census data, to a final sample size of 600.
