@SaveGeorgianBay The impact assessment agency assesses impacts. To assess you need to collect data. To collect data you get MNR and DFO and other agency permits. Then present that data to regulators.
@SaveGeorgianBay@thenarwhal Lord Rupert Kindersley is one of your financial backers. He owns 27 islands in Georgian Bay. He opposes Indigenous sovereignty over their own lands. Why are you accepting his support?
@SaveGeorgianBay This is a power station that has been pouring water over the same Niagara geology since 1901. It’s fine. Engineering has never been the issue.
@SaveGeorgianBay@thenarwhalca@NATIVObserver This is Big Becky 20 years ago under Niagara Falls about 150m from an international border crossing. Engineering has never been the issue.
@dwrightman@TDotResident It’s a race to yes. We’ve seen upstate New York and New England consistently resist energy infrastructure. That leaves importing power from Canadian jurisdictions prepared to build.
Energy Sovereignty 👍
Economic growth 👍
CO2 reduction 👍
Leverage over 🇺🇸 👍
@ONcleanair Environmental Defence's preferred low demand/low nuclear option has 2000% CO2 emissions than the high nuclear/low demand option. Looks like knocking down nuclear is more important than climate change https://t.co/4RHPl5NuM1
The low demand/low nuclear scenario that is Environmental Defence's preferred option has ~ 2000% higher CO2 emissions than the low demand/high nuclear scenario & their preferred high demand option has 100%+ higher emissions than the high nuclear option https://t.co/4RHPl5NuM1
🚨 Killarney Council has spoken.
A June 10 resolution raises serious concerns about the TC Energy Pumped Storage Project proposed for Meaford.
This isn’t just a local issue—it’s about the future of Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes.
More municipalities are stepping forward.
👇
Drilling is already underway in Georgian Bay.
Killarney Council is raising red flags:
• Karst (sinkhole risk)
• Contamination
• Missing data
What’s at stake for the Bay?

Can a regulator objectively assess projects it's responsible for promoting and licensing?
Experts are warning against handing nuclear impact assessments to the CNSC: https://t.co/vYDbQmYzp3
Independent review isn't red tape. It's accountability.

@ONcleanair Growing corn for ethanol is bad policy but that land can always grow crops for food at any time. Industrial solar and wind projects permanently take that land out of food production. That's policy failure.
Quebec's low cost renewable power is so much cheaper than #Ontario's nuke heavy mix that it can double price of power for data centres & still take business from Ontario: https://t.co/XOnWvwplzR
Here’s what TC Energy plans below the surface: deep tunnels, a powerhouse cut into karst bedrock, and a huge intake/outlet in Georgian Bay. The IAAC comment deadline is April 6. Your submission matters. Learn how to participate: https://t.co/rMBmWBGGfo
The OCAA should be thoroughly embarrassed going back to the Toronto neigbourhoods they pissed off in 2006 by lobbying for the Portlands gas plant.... the plant they now want to shutdown https://t.co/TU5JtFY4jV
Jack still shilling for HydroQuebec. Intermittent wind only gives HQ a chance to repair and upgrade hydro electric. At best it treads water and Quebec will pay dearly for it.
Quebec just approved a 186-MW wind farm — and host communities will receive guaranteed annual payments: https://t.co/TwHngWXPQt
About $30M will be distributed locally over 30 years, including $17M to municipalities.
#Renewable energy & local economic benefits!
Dec. data is now in Statistics Canada's electricity data sets (CANSIM 127-0003).
useful for a quick round-up of annual totals through 2025.
Quebec - note Churchill Falls is in "receipts from other provinces"
1st year as net importer from US
QC gen was up, but <QC demand
1/6
Quebec had 3 emergency system warnings in the span of 4 weeks. Price isn’t the issue in Quebec anymore it is supply. Reliable and certain system > price point.
Quebec will double the price data centres pay for power and it will still be cheaper than what they will have to pay for power from new nukes in Ontario: https://t.co/zeJJJopXxo
Guess who's economy is going to win?
