A first for Canada: New type of nuclear plant opening by 2028
This is really exciting. I wish we had nuclear power here in Australia. I know I might get downvoted for this comment. But with advancement in technology and large amount nuclear fuel (Uranium deposit) available, it's a great choice.<p>1. Vast swathes of uninhabited land can absorb some of the risks/fears associated with a nuclear accident. With technology like this, the risks are even lower.
2. It's lot cleaner than coal and natural gas, which are still the primary sources of our electricity.
3. There will be a huge demand for electric cars in the near future drawing massive amount power from the grid. Nuclear power would be a lot cheaper and enable us to truely go green.<p>Of course the coal companies won't like that. I can't see any reason why don't have nuclear energy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
