Are we (Canadians) really that dirty?

After returning from a trip to London UK, the air quality in the city is far better than Toronto. Considering it's size, i was surprised but learned they cleaned up their act in the 80s. Coming home to the garbage strike in the Big Smoke doesn't help.
Be interesting to see if the Green Energy Act will help the so called G8 ranking in the next few years.

If Europe is any indicator probably not. Denmark which makes up 20% of its energy mix with wind has actually had it's Co2 emissions go up. How so? Well when the wind isn't blowing you need to supply energy with something else, they chose to base-load with natural gas, and guess what, so has Ontario. We should be increasing non-emitting power sources like nuclear.

Nuclear is expensive. Long run it's cheap, but start-up costs are insanely high. Check out the price quoted to Ontario:

We could also say, all new homes must be built to the highest energy efficiency standard. Buildings that use less energy means the gap between what renewables can deliver and what the demand is, will shrink.

For $26 Billion, you could probably address efficiency first, and then you wouldn't even need to build a new power plant.
