Is Bruce power enviromentally friendly

Answer 1

Living in the community next to the Bruce nuclear site, we have some of the best, cleanest and most beautiful beaches around.

Tour the Bruce site and you'll see that deer and other wildlife have the right of way and the area is treated as a wildlife sanctuary. Wild turkeys wander around in the grass areas next to the parking lots, and deer show no fear.

Canadian nuclear energy is controlled and quite an amazing technology once understood.

Here in Kincardine we have no worries about 'tritium' hurting us in the water and farmers nearby have no problems with their crops or livestock. We just finished a successful derby with more fish caught that in the last many years.

So YES, Bruce Power is environmentally friendly. They have proven nuclear materials can be stored safely and our community doesn't have to worry about being a 'dump'. We benefit from the proposed Ontario Power Generation DGR project and look forward to the outcome, which would store all but used fuel almost a half-km underground at the site.

Fear mongers look ridiculous in the eyes of those who see the benefits of nuclear power and know it's our future. Wind and solar are complimentary, never base-load.
