What's your definition of viable? One of the hottest debates in Ontario right now is centred around the impractical prospects of nuclear as a source of energy. The projects go over cost, they are wasteful, they increase the chances of an unhealthy environment, and they require uranium (which will likely skyrocket in price in the near future), etc.

The long-term solution for most areas is shifting focus to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.

Nuclear makes us all ill.



And hydro isn't about dams exclusively; think run-of-the-river hydro.
