Over the last four years, federal and provincial governments across the country have given more than a billion dollars to new small (and large) nuclear reactor projects. Is this a wise use of tax dollars? How do renewables compare in price, safety and security, and are they up to the task of meeting all of Canada’s future electricity needs?
With:
