Conservatives Glow Green

Posted on Wednesday, January 17 at 12:16 by eugene
Taking another page from Ralph Klein, Lunn declared that the government would invest in clean coal technology, someone woke up the Tories and they have discovered that you could sell this technology to India and China. At least Lunn recognized that clean coal technology doesn't exist yet, Ralph claimed it did. Nukes for Ontario and Nukes for Alberta, and a uranium boom for Saskatchewan. And Saskatchewan gets to be the dumping ground, literally, for CO2 sequestration. Even Dion is pro nuke when it comes to the Tar Sands. Now about those unsightly toxic radioactive wastes.....well.....we can solve that too......sometime...in the future.....there is technology being developed. Isn't that how we got in this mess in the first place?! http://plawiuk.blogspot.com/2007/01/conservatives-glow-green.html

    Do you think that the government intends to encourage the private sector to develop nuclear technology?

    Yep. Corporate welfare for nukes.

    I assume you heard the reason why this is being done. Tonight CBC is reporting that just after he was elected Harper signed a deal with Bush to increase the output of the oil sands by five times its current output by 2012. That requires enormous amounts of energy. It is no wonder that Harper has been trying to get around doing anything about green house gases.

    I wonder how many other secret deals are in the works?

    It seems these days the absolute worse substance any nation can find on its soil is oil.

    Of course, switching from natural gas to nu-u-lar energy will also help with this:<br />

    The update of this can be found in a recent Sounds Like Canada on CBC radio. Seems the good doctor O'Connor has had it with the blatant coverups in the Alberta government about the cancer epidemic among First Nations peoples in the area, and is leaving.<br />
    <br />
    And of course, nuc-u-lar energy will also help with this problem:<br />

    That picture is just Syncrude and Suncor. It's pretty old, and doesn't include Syncrudes's north or Aurora mines, nor PetroCan, Albian Energy's, Japan Oilsands', Husky's, Shells' . . .

    Now the US wants Canada to increase Alberta oil sands production 5 fold and Canadian regulations will have to be "streamlined".

    I just forwarded a CBC story on this.
