Nuclear at Wesleyville is a bad idea on so many levels

I don't believe investing in nuclear facilities at Wesleyville, Ontario is a good idea. It's technology that doesn't look to the future of Ontario. It requires Ontario to invest in US reactors and uranium to power the facilities, which is a significant risk. It will take decades to build and a million years to safely store the nuclear waste so it doesn't negatively impact our environment and generations of future Ontario residents. And the economic costs are high and will only continue to rise over decades of construction. Instead, Ontario has the opportunity to be future focused. To look at innovative technology we can build and control here, like wind and solar farms. They can be built and integrated quickly into our existing electric grids using Canadian-made technology and infrastructure. And they cause little to no harm to the environment and people of Ontario. Compared to the health and environmental risks and costs of nuclear energy, wind and solar are far better and more sustainable options. Ontario already has issues with safely storing nuclear waste from our existing reactors and no plans for long-term storage, so adding to this burden is unneccesary and short sighted. Wind and solar are easier, cheaper, faster, don't rely on the US, and far better for the safety and wellbeing of the environment and the people of Ontario, Canada, and the world. We should look to wind and solar to be global leaders, rather than laggers when it comes to safe and secure energy production.
