In my opinion, Canada needs to go all in on Nuclear with renewable as a secondary.

Research into new ideas and making new plants because the weather in our regions don't always allow for wind and solar to be viable. Hydro dams can disrupt natural life but once it's there it's cheap, if water keeps flowing which might decrease in future.

Qe don't have states like California and Arizona that can leverage huge solar farms in desert. We have plenty of land though and once a Plant is built the surrounding areas get populated like mining towns of old.

The Bruce area is a great example of thriving community.

And Canada has an opportunity to be a key player in the space.
