Actually Ontario has no more coal plants. They’ve all been replaced by renewables and gas plants over 10 years ago. It’s one of the least talked about most meaningful improvements in air quality in the province. We’ve gone from multiple smog days a year to typically none. For people like me who live with asthma it was a huge improvement in daily life. (It’s also one of the few ways in which the Netherlands is worse)

As of 6:00pm, May 7, the Ontario electricity mix is:
- 31.4% hydroelectric
- 0.84% solar
- 7.4% wind
- 51.3% nuclear
- 9.1% gas

At the same point in time:-
- 6.6% is being exported to Quebec
- 3.6% is being exported to the US midwest
- 7.7% is being exported to New York

If you swap the brown for blue and green for red on the electricity map you essentially get the vote split of the last election.
