If anyone has an address for Mississauga city hall perhaps they could 
send them a copy of the Ausubel report:

Title: Renewable and nuclear heresies

Author: Jesse H. Ausubel

Address: Program for the Human Environment, The Rockefeller University, 
1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021, USA  

Journal: International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and 
Ecology 2007 - Vol. 1, No.3  pp. 229 - 243

Abstract: Renewables are not green. To reach the scale at which they 
would contribute importantly to meeting global energy demand, renewable 
sources of energy, such as wind, water and biomass, cause serious 
environmental harm. Measuring renewables in watts per square metre that 
each source could produce smashes these environmental idols. Nuclear 
energy is green. However, in order to grow, the nuclear industry must 
extend out of its niche in baseload electric power generation, form 
alliances with the methane industry to introduce more hydrogen into 
energy markets, and start making hydrogen itself. Technologies succeed 
when economies of scale form part of their conditions of evolution. Like 
computers, to grow larger, the energy system must now shrink in size and 
cost. Considered in watts per square metre, nuclear has astronomical 
advantages over its competitors.
