L’energia nuclear és l’ús de reaccions nuclears que alliberen energia per generar calor, que amb més freqüència s’utilitza posteriorment en turbines de vapor per produir electricitat en una central nuclear. Al voltant del 15% de l’electricitat del Canadà prové de l’energia nuclear, amb 19 reactors majoritàriament a Ontario proporcionant 13,5 GW de capacitat d’energia. Els autors sostenen que l’energia nuclear és ara segur i emet molt menys emissions de carboni que les plantes de carbó. Els opositors sostenen que els recents desastres nuclears al Japó demostren que l’energia nuclear està lluny de ser segur.
