Brad Wall uses taxpayers money for carbon capture

[ado089]

At 3.7 million barrels a day a $1/barrel adds up fast. Hydro is still among the cheapest sources of electricity, in there with coal and natural gas. Nuclear is close to wind and still much cheaper than solar. Both provide consistent energy supply regardless of the weather. Furthermore the development in fourth generation nuclear plants make them even safer, if that's even a real concern, and some of them basically reduce fissionable materiel to gravell. Some are even capable of using existing waste. What is left over only remains radioactive for a couple hundred years instead of thousands. Most don't even use water as coolant anymore. Given the that Saskatchewan is sysmically stable the only safety risk we run would be some union dipshit doing his job description instead of his job.

Furthermore I'd rather see a tax go directly to an initiative vs some bullshit feel good collection just going into general revenue so a bunch of entitled hipster shit heads feel like they're doing something meaningful.

ado. Good grief you'd better sign on Bruce Nuclear as spokesmen
. Nuclear is as cheap as solar that's a good one

Remember Bruce nuclear? They came calling soon as Wall was elected trying to sell him their 14 billion plan
If you like to Invest in nuclear , invest your own f$##kin money.
Buy some Telegraph shares while your at it

Hahaha that's pretty funny!

Kinda like saying "we shouldn't judge his driving record because he killed himself by hitting a tree while driving drunk never mind the other 100 impaired charges"

[ado089]

No it would be more like saying it's not surprising someone was killed knowing full well what the record is. The Ontario government hardly has a good record when it comes to spending.

You guys don't get it .
The Nuclear industries is Famous for giving project costs at $ X. And then when project is built , oh sorry it's now $3X !!

This goes for Ontario, France, Finland , Germany ,the U.S etc etc

Due to the present level of C02 in our atmosphere climate change proponents believe that if all fossil fuel consumption stopped right now the earth's average temp would still rise .5 degrees celsius. Working from that point of view and realizing that all projections for oil consumption show it increasing for many years to come isn't our money better spent on coping with environmental challenges than believing we can play God and change the climate.

Having said that one question asked many times on here but never answered, those on here in favour of carbon taxes how much are you willing to pay? And my own question why do those on the left who preach equality favour a tax that will disproportionately punish those with less money? People like Al Gore and Leonardo Decaprio do not change what they do or consume but they buy carbon offsets to clear their conscience because they can afford to. In other words the wealthy will continue to consume because they can. Have a good day:-)

Why are people so terrified of nuclear?
