Ontario Hydroelectric And Nuclear Power

by Reverse Engineer, Doomstead Diner

We are taking a break this week on the Collapse Cafe to NOT talk about COVID-19 as the main topic of conversation, althought it does of course work it’s way into this discussion. It’s almost impossible nowadays to talk anbout ANYTHING without Coronavirus working its way into the conversation.

Please share this article – Go to very top of page, right hand side, for social media buttons.

However, in this one I talk with Irvine Mills, a long time contributor to the Diner Blog, who also runs his own blog, The Easiest Person to Fool. . Irv is a recently retired Electrician for Ontario Hydro, the Electric Power Authority in Ontario Canada. His career spanned 31 years as he moved up the ranks from Trainee to Foreman and finally Manager for his district. He lives nearby one of the Nuke Plants he was responsible for in Kincardine, on the shore of the Great Lake they call Huron. Not Gitchee Gumee (Lake Superior), that’s to the north. lol.

As reservoirs of Fresh Water go, the Great Lakes are among the very largest sources in the world.

Fresh Water Around the World

• The Antarctic ice sheet holds about 90 percent of the fresh water that exists on the Earth’s surface. The ice sheet covers approximately 8.7 million square miles. The Greenland ice sheet also contains large volumes of fresh water. These two ice sheets account for more than 99 percent of the fresh water ice on the planet.
• The American Great Lakes account for 21 percent of the Earth’s surface fresh water.
• Lake Baikal in Russia is considered the deepest, oldest freshwater lake in the world. It holds about 20 percent of the Earth’s unfrozen surface fresh water, the largest volume in the world.
• Lake Victoria, which spreads across the African countries of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, is the second largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area.
• Africa’s Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest freshwater lake, and holds the second largest volume of fresh water. It’s the longest lake, and extends across Burundi, Zambia, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Of course, this water is not quite as “Fresh” as it used to be, given the amount of manufacturng that has gone on since the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Oil. You all have heard I trust about the water issues in Flint, MI, which is just the most famous of communities curently with Pollution problems dating well back into the Industrial era. All the Great Lakes have this problem to one extent or another, as do the other Big Lakes like Baikal in Mother Russia and Victoria in Africa. The big Ice Sheets of Antartica and Greenland where MOST of the Global Fresh Wter is stored aren’t too polluted, but that is real difficult water to access. Like close to impossible.

The water in Lake Baikal is not all that useful either, because so much of it is down DEEP. It would take a shit load of energy to pump that water back UP, to make it useful for say farmland irrigation. Of all these big fresh water reservoirs, because of quirks of Geography and how the continents migrated over the millenia, the Great Lakes are probably the MOST useful fresh water supply, but even they have their limitations. You couldn’t for instance pump the water in a pipeline to Arizona to irrigate that desert, it’s too far and it’s uphill. Again, this is energy prohibitive to try.

However, right around the Great Lakes area, it’s a gret source of water for irrigation, so that locality shouldn’t be going dry anytime too soon regardless of how the weather patterns change. It still does take some energy to pump this water to the fields though, of course.

The sceond area this enormous supply of water has is as a source of energy in the form of Hydroelectric Power, because from where it feeds in to where it finally makes its way to Sea Level, it cascades downward from one lake to the next and the Energy of that falling water can be harvested all along the way. You all are familiar of course with one of the bigger waterfalls, Niagara.

Although Niagara is dumping the most water and produces the most electricity, there are locations where the water drops even further, just not in such copious amounts. These plants produce quite a significant amount of energy, enough to power their own locality, if it were wired up that way, which currently it is not. At the top of the article (cover image for the video) you will find an image of just such a plant, although that one is in Oz, not Canada. Irv explains how this works in our discussion.

Finally, the copious amount of water in the region is useful for proving the Coolin that the Nuke Plants need not to oveerheat and in worst case scenarios, Meltdown. this hs its downsides of course too, since there is the potential for contamination of the water supply as well as possible damage to the ecosystem. The fishies living in the lake may not appreciate taking a Hot Water bath. We discuss these issues as well along the way in this week’s Collapse Cafe.

All in all, when you consider the relatively low population density of the Great White North of Canada, their current supply of Hydroelectric Power and Nuke Power and the fact they do have their own supply of Fossil Fuels and they are in the right location on the globe to withstand substantial Global Warming, it’s probably one of the best plaes on earth left ot be living. If I didn’t live in another great one, the Last Great Frontier of Alaska, I would consider migrating there myself.

Below you will find a table with links to the current Electric Power generating plants in Canada:

Nuclear

Nuclear power accounts for roughly 60% of Ontario’s power generation, and represents the baseload of its power supply [1]. The government plans to maintain nuclear power’s role in energy generation through to 2025. Ontario currently has 16 nuclear units in operation. These reactors amount to 11,400 MW of generation capacity and are located at three sites. The stations were constructed by the provincial Crown corporation, Ontario Hydro. In April 1999 Ontario Hydro was split into 5 component Crown corporations with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) taking over all electrical generating stations.
