There are lots of alternatives.
When you fly over northern Ontario, northern Quebec and northern Manitoba, all you see is water. There are a lot of opportunities for hydroelectric power generation in lieu of nuclear energy.
I fly over Toronto, and I see hundreds and thousands of roofs. Each one of those roofs should have solar panels on it. It would cut the power demand in half.
There are alternatives. You don't need to be producing the toxic waste that will be poisonous to our descendants for hundreds of thousands of years. They're going to have to deal with it.
Look at the amount of waste that we've produced in the last 60 years. What is it going to be like in another hundred years? What's it going to be like in another 500 years? What's it going to be like in a thousand years? Are we assuming that there are not going to be any people around to deal with that?
With first nations, we talk all the time about taking care of our descendants for seven generations.
