Our OPA provides us with one vision for power production, versus the possibility of several different paths, each with different, cost, environmental and economic consequences. what would the economics be of a strategy that supports conservation and renewable energy for 20 years versus a nuclear strategy, where are the jobs, for how long, and what industries and communities do the two energy paths support in Ontario. The non-nuclear approach will create jobs in all Ontario communities, is that not a good strategy for a society, versus more hugely concentrated reactor component production. I have just been at a meeting today where German wind turbine manufacturers have reported 60,000 jobs in their wind industry, and 40,000 jobs in the solar industry. Our provincial government desperately needs to commission work to determine the job potential with policies that support renewables and efficiency. cheers We need an analysis of the jobs created in Ontario with a conervation and renewable strategy for electricity and space and industrial heat savings and production respectivley.
