Most Ontarians know that in Toronto there is a wind turbine that powers something like 1300 homes. We also know that with a population of (i think were at 35,000,000) 35,000,000 and approximately 2.2 people per houshold there must roughly be 15.9 million homes in Canada.
So with this many homes we would need 15,900,000/1300=1200ish windmills similar to the one in toronto to power our entire country. So at $6,000,000 a piece thats about $73.4 billion dollars.
Now in 1990 when the first reactor of the darlington nuclear plant was finally operational, they had already met their budget of $16.5 Billion to have all 4 reactors opperational, so you can imagine how much this whole thing has cost over the past 20 years...
So fellow NSers, why with all the extra space we have in Canada cant we seem to get with the program? Btw Germany who is obvs much smaller than us geographically now produces i've heard about 80% of their electricity with wind and solar power and their population is far far bigger than ours...
Any discussion? Im more than happy to hear why what ive said is a crock if it actually is!
