General Motors Co is ramping up production of Chevrolet Bolt electric cars at a factory north of Detroit and is on track to start delivering vehicles as promised by the end of the year, company officials said on Friday.

Barring a last-minute stumble, GM will be first to offer an electric car with more than 200 miles of driving range at a starting price of less than $40,000 before tax credits. Silicon Valley electric car maker Tesla has said its entry in this new market segment, the Model 3, will launch next year.

    Last Quebecian nuclear power reactor (Gentilly-2) shut down in 2012. So right now the only canadian nuclear power plant/reactor outside Ontario* is Point Lepreau in New Brunswick.

    Kinda sad how Gentilly-2 got shut down

    (* = Ontario has three nuclear sites/plants with a combined total of 18 operating reactors)
