Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

Chris Forrest\u2019s attack on nuclear (\u201cWind Energy is a Better Deal for Ontario than New Nuclear,\u201d Jan 4) is unnecessary and non-factual.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unnecessary because Ontarians aren\u2019t called upon to choose one energy source over another.\u00a0\u00a0 We use many diverse energy sources that support and complement each other.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s non-factual because Forrest says that \u201cpricing on nuclear is very hard to find\u201d but in the same breath that \u201cit is broadly understood that electricity from new nuclear generation will be significantly more expensive\u201d than the rate he claims for new wind.<\/p>\n

If the data is so hard to find that he doesn\u2019t cite any, what\u2019s the basis for this alleged \u201cbroad understanding?\u201d\u00a0 Nuclear helped to build the affordable business environment that made Ontario so prosperous over the past half-century.<\/p>\n

The 2011 Ontario Auditor General\u2019s Report remarked that \u201cBillions of dollars were committed to renewable energy without fully evaluating the impact, the trade-offs, and the alternatives through a compre\u00adhensive business-case analysis\u201d (page 97). The report also cited Ministry of Energy and Ontario Energy Board projections that residential electricity bills will increase by 7.9% annually over the next five years primarily due to investments in renewable energy (page 89), resulting in a $570 increase in annual household electricity bills between 2009 and 2014 (page 95).<\/p>\n

Nuclear power generation currently sells on average at around $.06 per kWh.\u00a0 By providing this stable, affordable base, nuclear enables the grid to diversify into new sources like wind.<\/p>\n

Advocates for wind energy are welcome to make their case without attacking other, good and proven options.<\/p>\n
