I am pressing for the end of nuclear.  I consider it a dangerous technology.  The idea that waste is toxic for thousands of years makes the importance of moving away from nuclear paramount in my opinion.  We  have alternatives with conservation, wind, solar, imports from Quebec and various other technologies that do not involve toxic emissions and waste that can lead to cancer and other illnesses.  The cost to the medical system of dealing with these diseases must  be considerable considering the cost of treatment and medications not to mention the human suffering involved.  The longer these nuclear plants are functioning near heavily populated areas such as around Toronto, the higher the risk of having to evacuate millions of people.  I consider Quebec very wise to have closed its one nuclear station.
