WIND, SOLAR, BIOMASS & HYDROELECTRIC

Yesterday's K-W Record (PG. A4) has this headline "Nuclear, green energy highlight $87 billion plan". Coal is out by 2014 and half our energy will come from nuclear power. "The plan calls for $14 billion to be spent on wind power, $9 billion on solar projects, $4.6 billion on new hydroelectric generation, $ 4 billion on biomass energy, $ 1.8 billion on natural gas plants, $ 9 billion on transmission lines and $ 12 billion on conservation programs". The province are hoping to generate an additional 10,700 megawatts of electricity from wind, solar and biomass projects by 2018. No one can argue about the need and desireability of green energy. Lots of people can argue however about nuclear power. I truly do not know just how far in the hole we are in regards to energy needs. My suspicion is that at crunch time most or all of us will accept nuclear and its' hazards rather then freezing in the dark).
