Talk:Electricity policy of Ontario

this article is really dated
It's citing a lot of 2006 data, and times have changed hard since then.

Ontario is on the verge of shutting down their last coal stations, due to rapid rise of renewables.

Should this article be heavily re-written?

--Patbahn (talk) 19:43, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I second this request for update. An article comparing the 2006 data to the latest data would be particularly appreciated since it would should the evolution in energy policy.--184.144.108.18 (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

8 years later, and the issue is even more acute. These articles are very badly dated. – Jadebenn (talk &middot;&#32;contribs &middot;&#32;subpages) 01:48, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * If only someone was interested in updating the article. --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't be opposed to pitching in, but I honestly don't know where to start. This article is so tightly written around a particular moment in Canadian energy policy that it feels like much of it would need to be thrown out entirely. – Jadebenn (talk &middot;&#32;contribs &middot;&#32;subpages) 22:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)


 * In particular, this article seems to assume that Ontario would take a path similar to Germany's energiewiende and phase out both coal and nuclear power for renewables. This does seem to have been the policy at the time, but the repeal of the Green Energy Act and the decision to refurbish all but one of the CANDU generating stations shows that such policy did not come to pass. – Jadebenn (talk &middot;&#32;contribs &middot;&#32;subpages) 23:03, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
