Canadian provinces band together to develop nuclear reactor technology
A few years ago Toshiba was going to build a small reactor in Alaska. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Galena_Nuclear_Power_Plant" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Galena_Nuclear_Power_Plant</a><p>But it got canceled, and for the life of me I can&#x27;t understand why anyone thinks its better to truck in heavy fuel oil for generators vs having a small reactor buried in the ground for 30 years.<p>I&#x27;ve been saying for a few years now that green energy only advocates are basically on the side of coal and natural gas plants because they scream &quot;green energy&quot; and end up with a few MW of wind (ignoring the hydro built 50 years ago which to this day is still the majority &quot;green energy&quot; source) and a bunch of natural gas or in the past coal plants.<p>If they said yes to fission 40 years ago we wouldn&#x27;t be having the climate crisis discussion today. We don&#x27;t have 40 more years to overbuild wind&#x2F;solar and perfect battery technology at 2-5x the current price for natural gas. Because if people don&#x27;t start saying &quot;yes&quot; for carbon free power sources like this we _WILL_ be trying to figure out how to built them in 50 years to recapture all the carbon we burned into the atmosphere while trying to avoid more and more of the forests&#x2F;etc from burning.
