two bingos!! not entirely sure what the superhell box is Supposed to mean but like. theyre literally going to hell so <3 also i was tempted to include the 'fandom is ruining them' box but that was only for people outside My Chosen Fandom so i decided against it <3

@cutecanada he does! he was spouting something about how they wanted to buy energy from quebec and that would bring up energy prices..? i have no idea what he thought the details were, but im assuming his coworkers were talking about a rumour and he ran with it for some reason

Oh, ok now I know what he’s talking about, @fiddlestyx.

The NDP is calling for the Pickering Plant to close, which, yes could result in job losses. But the plant is way beyond its operating date. It was always going to close at one point.

They want to buy electricity from Quebec instead, but it’ll be far cheaper than producing it from that Nuclear plant:

“Electricity from Pickering costs four times as much as recent supplies from Quebec. Pickering's electricity costs 9.2¢ per kilowatt-hour, based on numbers from Ontario Energy Board hearings. In 2017, according to Ontario's Financial Accountability Office, the province imported four billion kWh from Quebec at the low, low cost of 2.2¢ per kWh.“

Also as per the job losses:

“The last few days have seen some wildly inflated estimates of the number of jobs affected by a Pickering shutdown. The actual head count at the facility is 1,900. Those jobs matter, but it's a false sense of security to string those workers on for a few more months or years before the plant inevitably falls off the grid. Research by the Ontario Clean Air Alliance shows that a decision to begin decommissioning Pickering on schedule in August would sustain workers' jobs until 2032 and match up with international best practices.“

This article goes into detail why this choice makes sense (its where I’m quoting from above)

Ford and Wynne wrong on electricity costs

I have not seen any indication the NDP’s plans would hurt hydro workers.
