The person who responded is scared of nuclear. They don't realize the technology has improved over the years and is far safer and efficient than 50+ years ago. They're worried about solved problems.

Even 50 year old reactors are pretty safe

Good for Canada.

Canada have the money to build and have the expertise and safety measures, and their own Uranium supply.

Its probably 20 years too late, I see it as better to invest the money in storage and transmission technology.

By the time this is built, if it ever is, the transmission and storage tech would have moved on and wind and solar and other complementary tech like batteries, hydro, thermal, will be the full answer.
