The era of nuclear power is coming to a close
and your support for Energy Probe is a big part of the
reason. For decades we have advocated a non-nuclear future
for Canada, pointing out the environmental and economic
irresponsibility of continuing with the nuclear option.
Ontario Hydro is finally starting to appreciate the truth of
this position and is closing seven more reactors on top of
the one reactor that closed in 1995.
Our work would not have been possible without the
financial and moral support of thousands of individual
Canadians like you. We wish to express our deep gratitude to
everyone for their confidence in us.
Our work is not finished. Fourteen nuclear power reactors
will remain in use in Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec
after the seven closures are completed next year. In
addition, Ontario Hydro is threatening to restart its
reactors at some undetermined future date. We need your
support to continue the fight to permanently close all the
nuclear plants in Canada.
Ontario Hydro is also threatening to replace the dying
nuclear plants with dirty coal-fired power. Energy Probe is
advocating an environmentally and economically attractive
alternative to the irresponsible coal option, based on the
principles of customer choice, efficiency, and tight
regulation of polluters. We need your support to ensure that
cogeneration and renewable energy, not coal, replace the
dying nuclear plants.
Please give generously so we can finish the job.
