Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner criticized the Ford government’s decision to refurbish four reactors at the aging Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, citing concerns over rising electricity costs. He argued that investing billions into one of North America’s oldest and least efficient nuclear plants is illogical when more affordable and cleaner energy alternatives, like wind and solar, are available. Schreiner emphasized that this approach risks making Ontario’s energy grid more expensive and environmentally harmful, urging a shift towards renewable energy solutions instead.
