A report commissioned by the Ontario Power Authority (now the Independent Electricity System Operator) identified 64 potential offshore wind power sites in the Great Lakes that could produce nearly 35,000 MW of electricity which is 50 per cent more than our current energy demand. This is completely doable. And it would cost a lot less too.
