Every energy form has pros/cons. #RenewableEnergy has far more pros, manageable cons. Find out the real bottom line about #nuclear, baseload energy needs, plutonium and technologies like sodium-cooled reactors. In Ottawa at 91A 4th Ave tonight or listen online. #ClimateAction

Green light today to a #radioactive #waste dump next to the #OttawaRiver is hard to believe, since 10 #Algonquin Nations did not consent. The #federal government will be funding this dump with your tax dollars! Canadian Environmental Law Association comments. cela.ca/media-release-… #ottnews

Décision décevante pour #Gatineau. Soulève des préoccupations cruciales quant à la sécurité d'eau potable de millions de résidents. Nous continuerons à insister pour des mesures adéquates afin de minimiser les risques pour nos citoyens le long de la rivière des Outaouais. #polmun

One correction to your excellent story. CNL loves to say waste dump will hold contaminated clothing and rags. Actually, its MILLION tons will include 100+ radioactive buildings and soil from operating nuclear reactors and labs for 70 years nationalobserver.com/2024/01/09/new… Canada's National Observer

Thank you to Chiefs Lance Haymond, Chief Dylan Whiteduck and everyone who rallied on Parliament Hill yesterday to call on the Justin Trudeau government to halt a massive #radioactivewaste dump next to the #KichiSibi #OttawaRiver. Indeed - actions speak louder than words. #WaterIsLife
