Very misleading video too. I like how you call the Oakville plant "bigger" than Goreway when in fact it will have only two units with higher output and two stacks, as opposed to the Goreway plant six. In Reality the Oakville plant will have a smaller foot print. Way to mislead your viewers. (isn't that the idea though?). NIMBYS

850 mw vs 900 mw which is bigger!!!

People who do not work in the power industry should not give opinions on the power industry. The only renewable that can reliably support the grid is water. WIND is not the answer because the yields out of the typical wind farm are only about 30%. It can only supplement what is reliable, ie: Gas, Nuclear, Hydro, "Dirty" coal. You people make me sick with your plentiful input on this matter and total lack of knowledge.

Thats really mature and intillegent.. so if you dont work in politics you cant have an opinion... likewise anything else?

@citizensforcleanair just cause it produces more power does not mean it is phisically bigger.

I would rather have a nuclear power plant rather than 400 wind turbines in my back yard

@crosssmoth Do you support the use of nuclear energy?

I am not against this plant at all. Nor am i against the use of nuclear energy. But let me tell you this. I live in Elliot Lake ontario, and we have more uranium tailings and acidic lakes then any place on earth. If you want to ramble about people not caring because it doesnt affect them, well my drinking water causes cancer pal And I still SUPPORT NUCLEAR ENERGY, and they use URANIUM in that industry much of it came from ELLIOT LAKE

@GovernmentOfGermany um what did you just say

Coal? less emmissions? than, natural gas? You must be one of those old timers who did alot of drugs in the 60's and today owns shares in the coal industry

I say we DESTROY this AND ALL OTHER POWER FACILITIES! Destroy the jobs, burn our homes down, land fill all our electronics, and then who the hell needs a power plant! Im ready when you are! Actually, fuck it. BUILD THE GOD DAMN POWER PLANT YOU FUCKING PUSSY ASS MCGUINTY COCK SUCKING SELL OUT

Im getting a power plant in my back yard, the next RFP from the OPA is for KW/Guelph/Cambridge. I can deal with it because it is essential for the lifestyle that EVERYBODY in Ontario is accustomed to. Nextly, cars emit more emissions per unit of energy than a power plant does, so the next thing everybody in Oakville should focus on is getting the QEW and Ford manufacturing facility shut down. This way C4CA will have the clean air that they are seeking.

@ppppyify Do you Even Live in the area of the power plant? If you are so wanting a power plant, how about you build it in your own backyard!

[EVILTRIPS666]

I'm for it! Just wait until they cut your power... then you'll be for it too!!! The reason they want it there is because of what is called line losses. The line losses are a loss in voltage over a specific length of cable. The further away it is, the bigger the plant has to be. Do you really think that you're that important that just because you have a NIMBY attitude that the whole world should suffer??? think again selfish... move!

you realize that even though you're in charnwood this still affects you - we're all the same air shed, it's not like pollution stops at the edge of town.
