<\/a>\r\nOntario will indefinitely defer construction of two new nuclear\r\npower reactors at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site; back\r\naway from firm plans to refurbish operating units at Darlington and\r\nBruce Power’s Bruce A site; and may order the shutdown of OPG’s\r\nsix-unit Pickering plant prior to the units’ scheduled 2020 closing\r\ndate, the provincial government said in a long-term energy plan\r\nissued late Monday.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nThe province, which owns OPG, said that advances in energy\r\nconservation, enhanced efficiency and a slowdown in electricity\r\ndemand growth have prompted it to revise a 2010 long-term energy\r\nplan that called for building two new reactors at Darlington, as\r\nwell as refurbishment of 10 units combined at that station and at\r\nBruce A.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
\r\nHm, conservation and efficiency.\r\nNot even shale gas.\r\n
\r\nWe already know\r\n\r\nGeorgia could get on with efficiency and conservation if Southern Company\r\nand Georgia Power would get out of the way<\/a>.\r\nWhich they will once they admit\r\n\r\nPlant Vogtle (new and old) has always been a boondoggle<\/a>.\r\n
