Reduce Canada’s greenhouse gases (GHGs) to 576 Mt (million tonnes) 6% below Canada’s 1990 level of 613 MT by 2012
Result: Canada’s emissions 715 Mt, 17% above Canada’s Kyoto goal in 2012
Harper / Trudeau official GHG Paris target 2015
Reduce Canada’s 2005 level of 749 Mt GHGs by 30% by 2030 to 524 Mt
Enviro Canada’s mid range projection for 2030
815 Mt, 9% above 2005 level

21. Why are Ontario’s hydro costs so high?
Total Ont electrical power capacity: 30,203 megawatts
Average power use 15,959 megawatts
Peak use: 22,774 megawatts (75% of capacity)
Ontaro built 17 new gas-fired power plants w. 10,000 megawatts capacity
They’re not needed. Costs to pay for them is high
Instead, Ont should have imported cheap hydro from Quebec to meet peak spikes in demand
