The Ontario Power Generation Waste Storage Facility Debacle Proves No-One Trusts Nuclear

As much as we hear talk of how ‘safe’ and ‘environmentally friendly’ nuclear power is, if you dig with any depth into that claim you see how no regular, sane person really believes that.  Case and point, we recently saw the withdrawal of an application by the Ontario Power Generation company for a long-pursued construction […]
