Nuclear Power in Alberta: A Bright Future or Just Hot Air?

Here is one we found in the depths of the Alberta Subreddit. If you've been curious about nuclear power, here's a quick rundown. It's energy dense and incredibly safe—today's modern facilities have evolved past old issues. Nuclear is key in decarbonizing energy with its clean profile. But, it requires massive investment and projects often run over budget. Plus, a nuclear facility takes over a decade to become operational. Despite this, the conversation in Alberta is heating up around CANDU reactors and the BWRX-300 Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design due to the province's unique grid. While nuclear power stirs debate, Alberta's solar potential shouldn’t be overlooked. With advancements in solar and battery tech, it remains one of the cleanest, cheapest energy forms. For Calgarians, this means an evolving landscape of energy options to watch.
