Why are pickups such a suburban status symbol when few families need that much car?

You better cover all your windows. Stop driving. Stop spraying. And get rid of your cats because of all the birds you kill Tom!

And what dose remembrance and supporting our veterans have to do with nuclear electricity Tom?

So you don't support our veterans?
How could anyone be anti-rememberance day.
Are you a military veterans denier?

Did I do it right? I've been learning from the best.

CC obviously Icebreakers, Subs, and many other small reactors have been designed but Governments refuse to allow widespread adoption.

Yet we will chop up our wildlife, cover 1000’s of acres with Chinese Solar Panels… with taxpayers subsidies… Canadian Debt $1 Trillion… US Federal Debt $34 Trillion.. $100 Trillion Global Debt… and $100 Trillion more to apply your suicidal “Green Agenda”???

Many Blessings! What is the point of your post??? We need to honour those who died for our Freedom… not desecrate their brave sacrificial service to Humanity!!!

If nuclear SMRs are so good and so cheap for electricity why aren't there some in Canada and North America already? Whats the holdup because we have had decades to build them.

We have numerous older larger reactors but nobody really wants to build the big ones anymore because of the cost. And SMRs are the most expensive option because you lose the economies of scale. Some of them are similar in size to large wind farms.

In my travels I came across a fellow that was a sub commander for many years. He had absolutely no worries about using nuclear power. He said it is very safe. He also thought in our lifetime they will find a way to recycle spent fuel.

Unproven? They have used small modular nuclear in all sorts of Submarines and Aircraft carriers for DECADES.

Don’t worry there’s a floating avatar of Peter Prebble in Chucks kitchen telling him what to type. No changing his opinion as he’s peters marionette.

Are you aware of two European countries named France and Germany? France using non subsidized nuclear, Germany using massively subsidized wind and solar? France Has drastically lower costs, and CO2 emissions.
Exactly opposite to the propaganda you keep repeating. How ca

Nuclear accounts for over 70% of France’s electricity needs. Think they buy a fair bit of uranium from Canada. Kind of funny we bugger around with pinwheels and magnifying glasses we buy from abroad but ship off our fuel supplies.

So what is a cheaper source of low emission electricity other than renewables including hydro all backed up with natural gas when needed?

Very expensive,unproven, unlicensed, small modular nuclear reactors that are a long way away from being built, won't solve the supply issue.

And almost no private sector investor wants to invest in nuclear unless they are subsidized by taxpayers. Open your wallets for the most expensive option.

So why do so many of you support highly subsidized and expensive nuclear over lower cost solutions? And then complain about subsidies?
