Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. About 15% of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13.5 GWe of power capacity. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

Yes, but with intense scrutiny of safety and commissioning, decommissioning and waste disposal costs, and any secondary costs to any impacts to nearby residents and wildlife.
@B29X83B1yr1Y
Yes, but as long as all safety requirements are met and not polluting the environment with byproducts
@996M5VF3yrs3Y
Yes. The reason being, is that nuclear energy is actually one of the cleanest energy sources on earth. It's just people are afraid to use it due to the Chernobyl incident, when in reality, that was an accident, and not something that would happen when nuclear energy is used.
@B2BMK7B1yr1Y
Yes, but only if it is 100% publicly-owned, strictly regulated, constantly updated, & only set up in remote areas.
@8T7NNYC5yrs5Y
@9G5NKD73yrs3Y
Yes, but under proper protection with nationalize industry, while investing in cleaner alternatives.
