Well, Got an email back, seems asthough if they decide to retube Bruce "A" I will be working there, now to fight the government.

 

Didn't the govt just commit tens of millions such that ontario would be one of the leaders in teh world for renewable energy.



So much BS. I wonder why the govt never asks the question, so how many wind turbines do I need to equal one nuclear power plant with 4 new reactors. Or for that matter how many turbines = 1 reactor. You would need a wind farm the size of all of northern ontario and windy 90+% out of the 365 days of the year for you to make renewable energy. We need backbone utility support, not fancy hi tech low output technologies. All the existing nukes are old and will be moth balled for good in 10 years. Coal plants are no no. So without nukes and without coal you lose over 60% of your capacity. There are only so many more rivers you can damn up, and with those all the good ones are already damned up. The rest of crap.

 

Thats is exactly what I have been saying, California still has brown outs and they have something like 1.5 million wind turbines, such a waste of money, they will have no choice but to retube Bruce "A" just a matter of when, i have heard froma few sources that a decision is close.

 

Aren't they replacing the boiler too?

 

Yeah, everything needs to be replaced, the windings, the bpoilers all the tubes, EVERYTHING. not going to be cheap.
