Years ago, Saskatchewan passed on going nuclear. Now, forced to retire its coal generation, it is revisiting that decision. Nixing nukes turns out in retrospect to be a pretty big missed opportunity akin to the 1959 cancellation of the Avro Arrow. Consider this engineer's response to the above story:
"In 1993, I was a member of a team of 100 engineers who moved from Toronto to Saskatoon to build a 300MW nuclear plant in Saskatchewan (like that mentioned in today's news story). The project was stopped soon after we arrived by the new NDP government, at significant cost to the province. What if we had continued with that work [sic] 36 years ago? What would be Saskatchewan's current position in energy generation, and technical leadership? The future is unknowable. Decisions blocking PROGRESS in any field, nuclear energy or pipelines or any other advancement, risks producing unintended consequences."
