The Citizens for Clean Air (C4CA) is a coalition of concerned citizens in Oakville and Mississauga that are very concerned about the impacts that will come from the proposed gas-fired power plant near homes and schools in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. C4CA is a non-profit organization.

Oakville residents on average consume more energy then anyone else in the GTA. Based on that simple fact, the power plant should be here. Its pretty simple, if you don't want a powerplant in your community, consume less energy.

But NO, Oakville residents would rather complain, keep up their over consumption, and place the burden of a power plan an another equally populated community.

It is only fair that this plant is built in Oakville, not a community that is less financially privileged.

Perhaps some advice would be to check our facts before makimg such statements . According to the OEB data on consumption of electricity Toronto is 10.5 percent higher than Oakville further Oakville consumes 2% of Torontos Consumption. Check pages 75-80 in OEB data summary. The issue is plants shouldent be built so close to residents whether they be in Oakville, Toronto, Sarnia etc proper safe setbacks and emission fallout can all be properly planned. .

@SuperSeiso

Its a gas fired power plant. It is not like we are talking about a Coal fired power plant. Oh wow, a little bit of CO2 in the atmosphere, scary!

@stuartmwatt

Would you like to pay the massive bill for all those solar panels. Talk is cheap.

@baseballboy1545 Radiation. You can't be serious. Dangerous doses of harmful radiation are associated with failures at Nuclear power stations. Living near a thermal power plant for a year, you absorb around 0.0003Sv of Radiation. Compare that with a dental x-ray is 0.005Sv. An untreatable fatal dose of radiation is 8Sv or 26,667 years living next to a gas-fired plant. I don't think radiation is the issue here as much as pollution.

@126918879 thank you i think that was the most truthful thing ive read here

@RichardDJamesLP sir you should know with the growing rate of oakville they need to make more homes for the more population people need to live somewhere and alot of those people have choosen oakville and moved away from their old towns which adds to our energy consumption what we consume your homes would consume if we didnt make enough houses the consumption of oakville toronto and everywhere isnt ours or canadas or anywhere its everywheres

@Allante715 Concerned citizens are you and me you would be just as concerned would you want a huge burning power plant literally less than a kilometre away from a school that has 5-13 year old children and extremely close to other schools and homes that did nothing to deserve this and many have been using much less electricity so you'll blame everyone for the richer population and also being near toronto and a very large place that requires using electricity to help keep the economy of canada
