But I do agree with you, BC will probably be the last place in Canada to build a nuclear plant, for practical reasons or otherwise.

I think another reason that BC might not be the best suited for a nuclear is the sheer amount of wildfires we get every year. You can't really build one on the island or lower mainland because of the fault line concerns. The north and eastern interiors are just getting wrecked by wildfires every year.
