I'm not sure if we're allowed to ask questions on this sub. It seems mostly news articles but I figured I'd give it a go.

So Bruce Power in Ontario is planning to build the world's biggest nuclear plant in the world (by expanding on an existing plant).

BC is more well known for hydroelectric, but that particular source hasn't really been greatly expanded on in decades and site-C is pretty controversial.

This got be thinking:

How do we in BC feel about nuclear power? Would you support one near where you live? Why or why not, and what other power options would you prefer?

To hell with the power it generates how about those sweet long term high skilled jobs? Granted I could do without the yearly influx of outage workers but if that ends up being CANDU then not so much of a problem.
