TORONTO -- Ontario's publicly owned power generator is bucking a provincewide trend to lower mercury emissions because demand for electricity has increased and nuclear plants are performing poorly, a new report concludes. The report, to be released today by Environmental Economics International, finds Ontario's overall emissions of the toxic metal fell more than 80 per cent between 1988 and 2001. During the same period, emissions from the five coal-fired generating stations run by Ontario Power Generation climbed 16 per cent -- to 582 kilograms a year from 500 kilograms, the report finds.
