Bruce will spend $13-billion on the 15-year refurbishment project, while the province will pay Bruce an estimated average of $77 per megawatt-hour for the electricity, which is below the average electricity price in Ontario of $83 per megawatt-hour.

From what I can tell the plans are going ahead and they are working on the reactors right now. Again, insanely expensive even if it is a great source of power.

All of the solar and wind projects in Ontario are feel good projects with little economic feasibility.
Alberta certainly can use a nuclear reactor versus 0-1 MW with peak conditions average of 5 MW producing solar plants at 30 million a piece.

Nobody is disagreeing with you. But the world is a lot bigger than Ontario & Alberta.
I really wish nuclear were the future, but it very clearly isn't.
