Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

This letter, signed by the president of the Canadian Nuclear Association is in response to John Spears\u2019 article entitled \u201cNew nuclear not needed in Ontario, green groups say,\u201d published on September 10.<\/p>\n

The Greenpeace\/Pembina study fails to mention three very important factors concerning the production of nuclear energy in Ontario.\u00a0 First, the cost of increasing wind generation is substantially high. Second is the undeniable workhorse reliability of nuclear reactors compared to wind and solar. And finally, nuclear reactors do not emit greenhouse gases.\u00a0 There are very good reasons why the Government of Ontario has over 50% of its electricity generated by nuclear energy \u2013 it is clean, efficient and it is relentless in its capacity to generate a strong, steady and dependable flow of power.<\/p>\n

Nuclear produces massive amounts of electricity on a constant, 24\/7 basis.\u00a0 The basic fact is that wind and solar produce intermittent power characterized by drastic ups and downs on any given day.\u00a0 If the Government of Ontario were to increase its reliance on these sources of energy, it would have to increase its reliance on GHG producing natural gas plants for steady production. Solar Power and wind energy are extremely costly compared to nuclear.\u00a0 According to a 2010 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the overall cost of onshore wind is almost 50% more than the overall cost of nuclear while solar PV is over four times more expensive than nuclear.<\/p>\n

A July, 2013 study conducted by Strategic Policy Economics Inc. (Strapolec) concludes that retaining the nuclear generation capacity as planned in the 2010 Long Term Energy Plan while reducing contemplated wind generation would produce\u00a0$56 billion\u00a0in direct benefits to Ontario’s economy through\u00a0$27 billion\u00a0in savings to ratepayers and\u00a0$29 billion in direct investment in Ontario. This represents a\u00a0$60 billion\u00a0net incremental benefit to Ontario as compared to the Retain Wind scenario. It would generate\u00a0$9 billion\u00a0in greater direct employment income benefits than the Retained Wind scenario including the creation of more than 100,000 full-time jobs in Ontario, many in the advanced manufacturing sector.\u00a0 It would also reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 108 million tonnes or 80 per cent less, compared to the Retained Wind scenario.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n
