I am an employee of Cameco.  A single female with a home.  I am finding it very difficult with the suddenly huge hydro bills.  I pay with equal billing and this year at the end of the 12 month cycle I used less hydro that the previous year and each year I go a little lower yet I get a whopping $650 final bill.  I whole heartedly endorse the use of nuclear reactors.  They are cleaner, they produce more energy than the alternatives and better for the environment.  I worry about the atmosphere and watch the documentaries that are available to me.  I am really concerned with the future of our earth and appreciate that the governments of many countries are on board with reducing green house gas.  We need to protect the earth for the future of mankind.  Our children and our children's children.  We need to protect our nuclear reactors and many are in the midst of refurbishments.  What I don't understand is why my costs are going up when articles say that with what we are producing and will be producing it should go down by 30%.  And like everyone else I have issues with hydro's huge wages and retirement packages for upper management.  Hydro like our government wastes vast amounts of money on unrealistic wages for the upper echelon.  They as well as our government employees need to be treated like the rest of it.  Years of service, work performance etc. should be used to measure what they are paid and no guaranteed huge retirement packages.  We need to invest in the future of our reactors for the sake of Canada and it's residents.  Hydro costs are forcing people out of their homes and onto the system.  I worry that I won't be able to stay in my home in retirement and with all the baby boomers coming along right now where will I go.  They will have all the retirement facilities full.  Give us a break
