Nuclear Energy Means Climate Action Delay: as true in uk as it is in Canada.
Promising to build more nuclear power is a political path to climate action delay and a distraction from a sustainable & decarbonized energy system transition.

With the headline ‘Government rips up rules to fire-up nuclear power’, the PM’s outrageous attack on environmentalists, conservation groups, councils and even regulators was a stream of assertions, misjudgements, half-truths and nonsense.
