Do we need more nuclear energy? Or, is the Climate Crisis an excuse to expand a dying and dangerous industry?
The Trudeau government and four provinces support the costly production of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs): compact, transportable, nuclear reactors.
SMRs aren’t even functional yet. In fact, our tax dollars will help develop them. This is money that could go toward renewables that are cheaper, safer, more reliable, and available now!
