So very wrong.  Dig into how power is paid for in the province.  There is a general charge that is buried in your bill.  Nuclear generated 60% of all power and its share of the GA is only 42%.   That 42% includes all the refurbishment costs you are worried about.  Solar and Wind generate 11% of power but are 17% of the GA due to all the subsidies.  Building more wind and solar will raise the cost of power.  Refurbishing or building new nuclear will reduce the overall cost in Ontario.  Once again, how do we store nuclear waste now?  In what are essentially swimming pools.  A really easy to understand and maintain system that is quite safe and which requires very little land at very small cost.  You don't need some ridiculous underground storage system that will last 10,000 years.  That is a boondoggle designed by the greens to scare the voters (and you apparently) and make nuclear impossibly expensive.
