Ontario cans nuclear power

Is that the sound of chins hitting the floor in Areva and Westinghouse? Poor nuclear lobby, another deal in the can, gotta suck. All those billions of profits you could have made, all the millions spent wining & dining & putting-in-pockets down the tube.

It’s plain and simple: nuclear is too expensive and too risky (even with the so-called carbon benefits), and within 15 years solar will be way cheaper than nuclear. South Africa just needs to catch a wake-up and realise, that with its solar potential, Concentrated Solar Power is the way to go.
