Hydro is limited by your geography and largely tapped out. In Ontario it's about 20%. Trying to replace the remaining 80% of supply (plus future growth for EVs)

Hydro is limited by your geography and largely tapped out. In Ontario it's about 20%. Trying to replace the remaining 80% of supply (plus future growth for EVs) with wind and solar (there's not much waves in Ontario) is an incredibly daunting proposition. Again, the mount of electricity consumption is public info. The amount of output a wind turbine or solar farm per km^2 is available. Put these together and ask yourself how easy would be to convince people to do this. Our old nuclear plants are our golden-egg-laying goose. Not only should we not kill it, other places should get their own.
