Think of all that electricity that hundreds of electric trains will need.
Fortunately AECL has a proposal in place to put portable Candus on each train, so not only will the trains be pollution-free with no stinky diesels. But there won't be any of that eye-sore wiring everywhere. Win-win! You can see how this extra $billions will be worth it!
Ontario may end up buying electricity from Quebec at a cheaper price than building new electricity generating plants. See link.
The study says increasing energy trade between the provinces could generate about $12 billion over 20 years for Quebec, while Ontario could save the same amount over the same period by cutting down on its nuclear-energy production.
It says the provinces would benefit by setting a price of 5.7 cents per kWh, nearly double what Hydro-Quebec currently earns for its electricity exports. That price, the study adds, would be lower than the estimated 8.3 cents per kWh it would cost to generate electricity from a refurbished Darlington Nuclear station.
