What is the future of the carbon free power generation in Ontario ? Pickering nuclear plant is shutting down another block in 2022 and I didn't hear any other plans than burning fossils. Is that the right future? Are people supposed to charge new "clean" electrical vehicles from dirty power ? How is that cleaner than hybrid cars ?

We need fossil fuels, nuclear, gas, etc. The 'green' movement is cap.

Hydro powers the majority of the province (by population) and the provincial government is investing money into nuclear power.

@@Martinko_Pcik Reference IESO power data for more reliable numbers. Base load for nuclear accounts for roughly 50% of daily use but only accounts for 34% of generation capacity. Hydro Electric sources account for roughly 25% of daily usage and is roughly 23% of generation capacity in Ontario. Natural gas capacity is quite high in Ontario but typically only accounts for 13% of daily use, which is much lower that actual generation capacity.
