To push back on the push back, being in Quebec, I always thought we were safe because of the Hydro (we're at 98% Hydro power - really this and the abundant supply of water are why I still stay here), but it looks like we're hitting the limit and will have trouble meeting demand in 10 years time [0], especially considering exports to New York and other northeast states. Also, dams are expensive. You're looking at $2B per project, at least here, and you need to flood an immense amount of land. Really, we should get over our paranoia and lift the artificial hurdles on nuclear so the plants can be built faster and cheaper. Or, at least in the states, bite the bullet and leverage your extensive gas fields to develop a solar industry [1] [0] https://www.electricityforum.com/news/canada-energy-shortage https://www.electricityforum.com/news/canada-energy-shortage [1] https://doomberg.substack.com/p/a-serious-proposal-on-us-energy https://doomberg.substack.com/p/a-serious-proposal-on-us-ene...
