Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. About 15% of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13.5 GWe of power capacity. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

Yes, but under proper protection with nationalize industry, while investing in cleaner alternatives.
@9ZJ52HDNew Democratic5mos5MO
I support nuclear energy use, but only if it doesn't become the main energy source and is temporary while we find better alternatives. Also when using nuclear energy if should majorly affect citizens
@9TMMVLNNew Democratic7mos7MO
yes, as long as there is people that work in the nuclear plant field that are well-educated and able tol identify problems with an well-preventative approach in a quick manner to reduce accidents.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 10mos10MO
Yes, nuclear energy an efficient, clean, and safe source of fuel. Theoretical events of damage, collapse, epidemic, etc. only occur when nuclear energy is not appropriately handled by or in a safe and educated manner by qualified individuals/officals.
@8FZ5VFDNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes, but we should use thorium over uranium
@8WM7Z9KNew Democratic3yrs3Y
If it's safe space and nothing can go wrong
@8VSQJZHNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Nuclear fusion has the potential to be cleaner and more efficient than any other alternative.
@8VS7GKCNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I don’t have an opinion on this topic
@8HWP5Q2New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives that work, AND monitor and cap energy consumption among residents and businesses.
@8HBG22FNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Not information enough to comment
@98SL5S5New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes while we look into better renewable sources and look into proper disposal of nuclear energy
@8VMYV48New Democratic4yrs4Y
I don’t think so because when I think of nuclear I think of bombs. But I’m sure there’s more to it than that.
@8VM85YMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, if and when we have better ways of storing, controlling etc. Would prefer other forms of energy
@8VCSST2New Democratic4yrs4Y
we shouldn't more than we already do
@8V5QXMRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, and we should not build more power of any source to sell. Increase should be due to Canadian needs.
@8V5QQBQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I need to be better educated on this before I can answer
@8TPBKMPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes but with Thorium, not Uranium.
@95HQRN3New Democratic3yrs3Y
Small Modular Reactors are the future of cleaner energy production
@8X23Y7XNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, unless they are being used for useful things like transportation or light.
@925JC5F3yrs3Y

@8KRSKYV4yrs4Y
Yes and no it deppends on the situation.
@8W9KX2R4yrs4Y
No and we should support 80% of how we get out energy with a cleaner form if possible
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, and we should also increase investment in renewable alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium and geothermal.
@7RGBCQB5yrs5Y
Yes, I'd prefer thorium nuclear.
