OPG’s price of nuclear electricity is set to rise by 60% next yr to 20 cents/kWh. Earlier this yr, Ontario purchased NEW wind & solar energy for only 8.9 cents/kWh. By tripling renewables, we can lower bills and reduce our dependence on American energy imports. shrlnk.ca/s/qcgPGg9g #onpoli

Ontario power bills likely to rise after OPG reaches settlement on rates
Increases reflect the cost of large capital projects at nuclear plants

Learn to read easier. Literacy means more than actual reading. Or loving to read. And of course, there are all sorts of reasons why a child might have problems with actually learning to read.
