- Energy_Probe abstract "Energy Probe is a non-governmental environmental policy organization based in Toronto and best known for its role in opposing nuclear power, and as a subsidized free-market lobbyist for fossil fuels and well-known Canadian proponent of climate change denial.It was founded in 1970 as a sister project of Pollution Probe and incorporated in 1980 as Energy Probe Research Foundation (EPRF), which describes itself as "one of Canada's largest independent think tanks, with 17 public policy researchers". It focuses on the economic, environmental and social impacts of the use and production of energy. Financial Post columnist Lawrence Solomon was one of the co-founders of EPRF in 1980. University of Toronto Professor Clifford Orwin was noted as being on the foundation's board in 2005, where he was joined by columnists Margaret Wente and Andrew Coyne.Energy Probe led the opposition to Ontario Hydro's nuclear expansion plans during the 1970s and 80s. Its plans to break up Ontario Hydro's monopoly and end support for nuclear power were endorsed in 1984 by the leaders of the Ontario Liberal Party and the Ontario New Democratic Party, the two opposition parties at that time. Energy Probe argued that privatization of the nuclear power plants in Ontario would have forced them to buy insurance on the private market, making them economically unviable, inevitably leading to their shut down. (The same argument was subsequently adopted by Greenpeace in the United Kingdom when they supported Margaret Thatcher's efforts to privatize government enterprises.) Political scientist Laurie Adkin described Energy Probe's approach as "ecocapitalist". Later, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, led by Mike Harris, formally adopted Energy Probe's positions in its Common Sense Revolution. Under this model, the grid would be operated as a separate regulated entity while the generating units would operate in a competitive marketplace.In 1978, before its incorporation, Energy Probe capitalized on the Three Mile Island accident, and acquired notoriety by printing up brochures on the morning the accident occurred. By the afternoon, these brochures, entitled, "It's no longer just a movie," were being distributed to theater goers as they left the Jane Fonda movie, The China Syndrome.Stephen Dale, in his book McLuhan's children: the Greenpeace message and the media, praised Energy Probe for its stance on utility regulation whilst criticizing it for having turned away from its democratic roots to "embrace the discipline of the marketplace". Keith Stewart, an environmental policy scientist affiliated with the Toronto Environmental Alliance, described Energy Probe as the Canadian component of a "small but vocal neo-liberal wing of the environmental movement aggressively championing a pro-market, anti-state agenda", and likened it with US Natural Resources Defense Council, which according to Keith champions "free-market environmentalism". The book Rescuing Canada's right: blueprint for a conservative revolution describes two divisions of EPRF—Energy Probe and Environment Probe—as among the few environmental advocacy organizations that "promote a vision for the environment that is more in line with Opportunity Conservative principles, although these groups would probably not call themselves conservative" and which "don't take knee-jerk leftist positions", but ascribes the two EPRF divisions as second place in this niche, overshadowed by Ducks Unlimited.".
