My friends and I have been debating this since the Fukushima accident in Japan a few months back and most of us agree that nuclear energy needs to happen, but will it given the knee jerk reactions of the Japanese and the Germans? Also curious to see whether people would support/oppose a plant in Alberta and why? |
The economics of a plant dont currently make sense in Alberta given the price of and availability of coal and natural gas and the fact that the Alberta government gets a royalty cheque from those two natural resources.
I dont think we have any Uraniam so you would be sending that money to Sask or other places.
From a PR perspective is the only way it makes sense here IMHO.
