International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War
Nuclear projects consistently run many years behind schedule, making them irrelevant to our urgent climate crisis. They routinely exceed budgets by billions, making them far too expensive. Public dollars spent on renewables could sustainably address the climate crisis right now. Additionally, nuclear off-site damage is uninsurable — the taxpayer bears the costs of leakage, accident and cleanup, costing billions more.
Will Canada now approve industry’s aspirations to export SMNRs to countries who may become intent on acquiring nuclear weapons? This would implicate Canada in the scary new age of a “plutonium economy” just when we are hearing overt threats of nuclear weapons usage in the Ukraine war. Plutonium extraction poses unbridled risk; it is an invitation for proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
After Fukushima, many countries felt that nuclear energy was too risky. As a result of the earthquake and tsunami 20,000 people died; as a result of radiation released from the meltdown of three large reactors, zero people died. Yet around the world non-emitting nuclear plants were closed and replaced not by renewables but fossil fuels, whose air pollution resulted in tens of thousands of deaths.
Why are we so scared of nuclear energy? In a word, radiation — specifically its association with nuclear war. After all, we do not fear radiation when the doctor sends us for an X-ray.
It is not
Is letting in convicted terrorists and paying them $10 million too risky as well?
Nuclear being dangerous is more a perception than a fact.
Family doctors don’t know anything about nuclear energy.
I think freezing in the dark because of the left wing cultists is riskier.
Absolutely not
No, and its essential as a replacement energy for fossils when it comes to electrical generation because Wind and Solar aren't reliable.
No.
Less risky than climate change so no.
