Nuclear Power Stations take forever to get up and running if they ever do, are far more expensive than equivalent energy sources (pg.11), and is a NIMBY half the province probably won't want anywhere near them, with the other half (and rest of the nation) being downwind.
It's more crazy to try and re-litigate this already dead horse simply from an economic and political pov without even opening the can of worms that is safety and disposability of waste etc...
That is the general nuance that somehow entirely missed even though they spend a good half hour on the topic of how progressives are "anti-human" for somewhat factoring environmental concerns into policies.
Also one of the things the proceeded the nuclear thing was how BC is now electrical importer because of progressive policies.
