Peggy Cameron is vice-president of Black River Wind Ltd. She lives in Halifax.
Nova Scotia’s provincial government sensibly banned uranium mining in 1981. A later provincial government sensibly extended the ban in 2009. Sensibly, because it was one of those unusual times when the provincial government followed the will of the majority of Nova Scotians who oppose both uranium mining and nuclear energy.
We should all be concerned that the Trudeau government is spending $50.5 million on small nuclear reactor research in New Brunswick for 48 jobs and a promise of energy sometime in the 2030s.
