METRO EDMONTON

October 28, 2009 Banners hoisted high, hundreds of activists invaded the grounds of the legislature yesterday, outraged over potential nuclear energy developments.

“We don’t need nuclear,” said Adele Boucher Rymhs, the president of the Coalition for a Nuclear Free Alberta. “Nuclear is one of the problems that is going to come up in the future.

Everyone is worried about climate change and carbon dioxide emissions, but the emissions from a nuclear power plant are far worse than emissions from a coal plant. They go on for thousands of years.”
