Nuclear power in the Peace Country just doesn’t make sense
Grande Prairie Herald Tribune 27 March 09  You know it baffles me that the idea of creating a nuclear power plant would even be entertained knowing what we know.We don’t know what to do with used tires, but we’re willing to take on the responsibility of nuclear waste. That doesn’t make sense.

Nuclear waste not only poisons the earth, but actually alters life on a genetic level with a toxic poisoning that literally keeps killing generation after generation.Haven’t we already learned that the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attitude doesn’t work now that we’re living in an era where we are taught to recycle, reuse and reduce?

Is the initial investment of funds or the enticement of jobs really worth a facility that creates waste that remains toxic for centuries?
