Aye. SK’s northern grid is supplied almost exclusively by Manitoba hydro exports, so their tunnel jet uranium mining and refining is basically carbon free.
Saskatchewan has also raised their hand to be the first wave of small modular reactor roll out after the darlington commercial demonstration plant is built. They’re a great fit to spot on retiring coal sites and remote mines or projects requiring big thermal loads.
Alberta has said we are open to maybe possibly considering them sometime in the 2040s after others have done what it takes to make it work. We are such a province of chickenbleeps.
