💡 Ontario’s CANDU nuclear fleet has generated 3,300 TWh of clean power for $58B, while GEA renewables will cost $62B for just 200 TWh. 🤯 CANDU = more power for less cost 🔋⚡️ Time to rethink energy priorities! #NuclearEnergy#CleanEnergy#CANDU#EnergyPolicy#ONPoli

This image is a bar chart comparison of two energy sources in Ontario: CANDU nuclear power and GEA (Green Energy Act) renewables. The data is presented in terms of capital cost and output, highlighting differences in costs and electricity production.

On the left side, the chart shows Ontario’s CANDU fleet to date with:

A capital cost of $58 billion.
An output of 3,300 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity.
The text emphasizes that "CANDU costs less" and "makes more" energy compared to GEA renewables.
On the right side, it compares GEA renewables over 20-year contracts:

A capital investment of $62 billion.
Above-market payments rather than capital cost, indicating ongoing higher costs beyond initial capital.
The output from GEA renewables is significantly lower, only 200 TWh.
The chart uses blue bars for CANDU and gray bars for GEA renewables. At the bottom, it notes that all dollar amounts are in 2021 CAD. In the bottom-right corner, there’s the Canadians for Nuclear Energy logo.
