Use Of Nuclear Energy Increasing

Ontario's reliance on nuclear energy is increasing.

A report from the Independent Electricity System Operator shows nuclear accounted for almost 60 per cent of the province's energy needs in 2013.

That's up about 3 per cent from 2012.

Gas generation dropped more than 3 per cent while coal generation accounted for just 2 per cent of Ontario energy generation as the province continues to phase it out.
