@MusicPrincesss @Jskerry20 It’s definitely an issue! Not saying it isn’t, but we used to have poor laws surrounding this, OPG was only set up after MCA 2005. The law changed the culture - there is a place for responsible, supervised advocation for the vulnerable in every society

@opg @nuclearkatie It's a good message, and right now as energy prices go through the roof it's clear that civilisation must power itself with reliable, stable and clean power on the scale that makes it abundant and cheap.
Without nuclear it's very hard to see how humanity solves this problem.

@user14201 @Freakotrader @grayal58 @opg The waste is still a problem even with this explanation, it lasts forever. The more nuc plants the more waste.
Wind, solar and hydro electric are better options in my opinion. Till something better comes along.

@Norsunenergy @Nahanni_ @mhbvickers @opg Your right. It is a political issue. I'd say Sir Adam Beck created a great legacy with Ontario Hydro. Over the years it has devolved to become a plaything of the premier's office and special interest groups, many meaning well, but wholly inadequate in their understanding.

@Nahanni_ @JohnHansenCa @mhbvickers @opg It's not a technical issue. The energy sector is a complex mess of competing interests that will say anything to defend their dominant position or defend prior decisions that lock in technology. What we have now is built over 120yrs. Utilities want slow evolution not revolution

@JohnHansenCa @Nahanni_ @mhbvickers @opg Doesn't work well? Really? Works well for who? Wind & Solar doesn't work for the utility because it takes away revenue. But the big issue is decarbonization requires 2x the existing generation capacity in 1/10 the time.

@Nahanni_ @Norsunenergy @mhbvickers @opg 1. Solar photo voltalic energy is currently a siren's song. It is low cost and there is no reason to think its cost won't continue to decrease. After all it's just the junction of 2 dissimilar materials. The problem is that it's value as an energy source goes to zero as well.

@JohnHansenCa @SlagOffTwits @NuclearSave @opg @SPEACanada That implies that nuclear (or energy/climate policy?) is not a hot button issue that people base their votes on. Thus, it is an opportunity for leaders to (actually!) do the right thing w/o paying a political cost.

@sideen_dan @mhbvickers @opg Lol.Look at growth rates since ~2003 when citizen generated power was first allowed. In practically all countries, prior to that, people were not allowed to generate or sell power to the grid while utilities had no problem burning coal or gas with impunity. So from 0->2,500twh👍

@opg Pickering will likely be just shy of 1PWh (1,000TWh) if it commences shutdown 3 years from now. As of the end of 2020 Pickering had produced 908TWh. ***uming ~20TWh/year, 968TWh in 2023. 2024 A-unit wind-down and 2025 B-unit will mean a miss.
