Quebec's Gentilly-2 nuclear plant shuts down after 29 years - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Aesir;39024880]The majority of Canada uses hydro-electric dams. Coal isn't a huge source of power here like it is in the U.S.[/QUOTE] Are your dams eco-friendly, because the ones down here in the states aren't.

[QUOTE=Aesir;39024880]The majority of Canada uses hydro-electric dams. Coal isn't a huge source of power here like it is in the U.S.[/QUOTE] Dams are bad too. Not as bad as coal or gas but still not environmentally conscious.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;39019429]Knowing Quebecois engineering I would not trust a 30 year old nuclear plant as far as I could throw it[/QUOTE] how far could you throw a nuclear power plant?

[QUOTE=Trumple;39028721]how far could you throw a nuclear power plant?[/QUOTE] depends how old you are because a 13 year old probably couldn't throw one very far but if he's like 17 then probably a bit further

[QUOTE=Tacosheller;39019100]Let's switch to thorium guys please[/QUOTE] China is building Thorium reactors currently and as I recall, already have two in place and working.

[quote]Environmental groups applauded the government's decision to shut down the plant[/quote] That's right, you applaud them. Cause now they have to switch to fossil fuels.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;39019037]Because the nuclear waste is a hazard, and they all believe that it's a nuclear disaster waiting to happen.[/QUOTE] And that's why every country should classify them as idiocy terrorist group and execute them en masse.

[QUOTE=BloodRayne;39029452]That's right, you applaud them. Cause now they have to switch to fossil fuels.[/QUOTE] Yeah keep talking shit knowing squat about the situation. [QUOTE=IPK;39029776]And that's why every country should classify them as idiocy terrorist group and execute them en masse.[/QUOTE] so edgy ~~

I was just trying to say that it was our primary source of electricity and that the shutdown of a nuclear power plant didn't mean that there would be a switch to coal in that area which valkery seemed to be implying. I apologize if I wasn't very clear about it

They might be stupid but they sway public opinion way too much, causing a government to ensure that the safety regulations are upheld.
