Doesn't nuclear make sense to increase baseline capacity where hydro isn't available?
1 comments

Ontario has no more room to grow on the hydro front, and doesn't realistically want to import it from Quebec.

So it's natural gas, nuclear, or renewables. And the Conservative gov't here has a bit of a bias against the latter. It's been growing the natural gas sector, undoing a lot of the hard work the previous Liberal gov't had put in on the wind side. Likely nuclear lobbyists now have their ear.
