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.

As long as they try their best to ensure that the nuclear plants are well protected and unlikely to cause any accidents.
If it is used properly and you use it for the proper things and the things that you really need , just not wasting it .

No because i dont want chernobyl to happen again
@8NWMMMQ4yrs4Y
Yes as part of a larger energy reform platform that also includes solar, geothermal, win and other cleaner alternatives, Nuclear Energy when processed safely and effectively is a fine source of energy.
@8NTQ7H94yrs4Y
no because i don't want chernobel to happen again
@8FTDGBV5yrs5Y
yes and no if its bad nucular energy use then no if its good then yes
@9BQLZ9Z2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should be looking into better alternatives for the future.
I have no thoughts on this
@98YYPHB2yrs2Y
Yes but also invest in Wind, Hydro and other sources of power
@98NCNVQConservative2yrs2Y
As long as we are able to find to find a way to reduce the level of radioactive waste being produced then yes
@8WQ7WYQ3yrs3Y
As long as it does not harm the environment, or people nearby
@8TPBKMPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes but with Thorium, not Uranium.
@8VYCZYD4yrs4Y
Yes, but nationalize it and have zero outside influence. Make strick regulation so that anybody mentions selling it or any property of it gets shot in the head.
@B4FFYKG22hrs22H
Energy needs to be affordable in whatever form and regulated so private companies don't jack up prices. Incentives for selling energy to other countries if the company keeps low cost for Canadians
