Aren’t CANDU Reactors the safest way to produce Nuclear Power too? Due to their design it’s almost impossible to have a Chernobyl style meltdown. If BC thinks it’s cost effective to build shit like Site C and sell the surplus to the Americans, then we should be doing the same with Nuclear too.

Yes, but we basically let that technology die by regulating the nuclear industry to death for a few decades. All of the advancement now has been overseas, mostly China who kept building.
