what on earth does electricity cost near you?

On old friend got his degree while working at Ontario Hydro. He rarely saw his Boss, and his Boss had absolutely no idea what he was doing. That could have been back in the 70s. Things have been rotten there a long time.

A common story about any large company and particularly about government offices . I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith in the story.

People get the Government they deserve! Not really much to say beyond that.

I just may have taken Wynn off my very short list of hated people. I heat electrically, so it's a win for me. Let someone else pay for it decades down the road, I will be long gone!

It's like Ontario keeps going to one of those "Pay Day Loan" places or putting it on their maxed out credit card, and everything is just peachy! How Pathetic!

A rathet unpatriotic opinion of your province being self centered. Your decendents will be burdened for decades with debt and reduced industry due to high electrical rates.
Wynne, Dalton and Justin are all just puppets that Gerald Butts controlled.

My last bill was for $900.25 for 4992.4 Kwh of power , 147 Kwh per day average.87% used at the lowest rate, 5.5% at mid rate and 7.5 % used at the highest rate.

I just saw this thread for the 1st time tonight....As I started reading, I was thinking to myself....wonder if the Ontario guys are chiming in?.......Of course they are, its the biggest thing on a lot of peoples minds around here. Just sayin'.....lol

Waste heavy water ......??? What pray tell are you talking about ?

What happens to the water that cools the reactor in a nuke plant?

It becomes radioactive,, and is released into the environment,,,

Where do you think Godzilla came from??

The maddening part is, those on social assistance (and there are a lot) or the flood of refugees that Ontario has opened our doors to, could not give a crap to the price of electricity. For them, it's ALL paid for. And yes, my best friend at the time, did have his engineering degree paid for by Ontario Hydro.

You need to study CANDU systems 101.
Cooling the reactor ??? Are you referring to the shut down cooling system with heat transport heat exchangers removing decay heat from a GSS "guarantied shut down" reactor with a high pressure service water supply ? HPSW is lake water.
Or are you referring to an operating reactor where heat transport heavy water converts boiler feed water ( distilled pure water) into steam to spin the turbines to generate class IV power ? There are also a heat exchangers to remove heat from moderator heavy water and transfer the thermal load into low pressure service water. LPSW is lake water.
Heavy Water is expensive and is not wasted or thrown out. Dryers and dehumidifiers operate inside containment with any moisture in the air being sent to the upgraders. Heavy water is reclaimed from spent ion exchange columns with a distilled water flush with the downgraded heavy water sent to the upgrader.

Do the math.....4992.4 Kwh on the bill and 147 Kph average use per day.
