Alright, now we can all argue in this one instead.

Don't let the anti-nuclear crowd force BC and civilization as a whole into alternate green energy projects which cannot handle even half of the peak demand that Nuclear can handle at any given time. Aside from Chalk River experimental reactor incidents, Canada has a nearly bulletproof atomic energy and waste storage portfolio. Just because a bunch of hippies and their brainwashed Gen X's and Millennial children still cling to incidents more than 50 years old is not a reason we should continue to just ignore its viability.

You kinda answered your own rant: if something that's literally renewable had to wade through almost twenty years of protests and challenges, then something that isn't... is pretty much dead in the water. It's going to be a hard enough fight to stop the hippies from wasting time and money to cover the whole province in solar panels (because chasing the sun's table scraps is so much more efficient than making your own sun, but whatever).
Doesn't help that all our in-house CANDU expertise is retiring, and now we have to buy SMRs from the Americans instead.
