LOCAL GREENPEACE INTERVIEW

This occurred at the K-W Record yesterday and the story is titled "Greenpeace extols virtues of green energy over nuclear". A key element for me is that electricity demand has fallen not risen in the last 5-6 years. This is a result of both public conservation programs as well as the loss of major industry throughout Ontario. Further estimates indicate that electricity demand will continue to fall for at least the next seven years. Greenpeace are praising the Liberals' Green Energy Act as the way to go via renewable energy. At the same time they are criticizing the building or expansion of current nuclear reactors. A number of K-W "green energy" leaders are also praised by Greenpeace.
