RE:Is Now The Time For A Change Of Heart? An Easier Read!!I sent the contents of this post to Premier Francois Legault of Quebec and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Why not go to the source of any problem to look for solutions that may help meet everyone's future energy need?
Politicians do need feedback from their potential electorate.
Here's what I said to Prime Minister Trudeau in my e-mail:
"Prime Minister Trudeau:
In my humble opinion, nuclear energy in this country and especially in the province of Quebec is being neglected in spite of the fact that it is a low carbon footprint and high value source of the most reliable energy! Quebec does have equally reliable hydro-electric energy but not enough for its near term future needs! And windmill turbines and solar panel farms only really appeal to modest environmental concerns with little lasting impact on the greater energy needs of the province. And further hydro-electric development is a most problematic issue to address at the present time. The indigenous community is pushing back after having already sacrificed many of their sacred lands in the past with little compensation for their many grievous historical property losses! They don't want to lose more without a major compensation package that might make the cost effectiveness of future hydro-electric projects much less appealing to the masses of the public. Perhaps Quebec might be offered some additional financial inducement from a environmentally committed Liberal government to help defray the costs of a newer kind of energy policy that modular reactors might offer that province? More votes from a very grateful provincial electorate might be an expected outcome? Good actions do sometimes have favourable consequences, do they not?
For your amusement and possible education, this is my message that I sent today to Francois Legault, the Premier of the Province of Quebec. Today's Canadian politicians need to pay more attention to the value of nuclear energy, even if it only means initially, making first a smaller commitment to modular reactors, which cost considerably less upfront than the larger ones and are much more modern in their design! They cool themselves using liquid metal, not heavier water. They are safer to use and more efficient in design while their coolants have a shorter remaining radioactive period after their disposal.
Here is what I said to this most honourable gentleman:
Francois, try not to laugh too hard! But I do think that the Uranium issue in Quebec is far too overblown and this fuel should be reconsidered as a viable energy option in the near term future. It's just a matter of gaining social acceptance by promoting its cleaner nature with its low carbon footprint as a possible better option to hydro-electric energy.
I was promoting my small investment in a Quebec exploration play on a Stockhouse investment platform. It is named Rush Rare Earth Metals which is exploring on its 'Boxi' propery by seeking to discover high value, rare earth elements, but which also contains, high value uranium resources, as determined by recent and previous historical lab assays.
Please do not in any way feel offended. Politics is a complicated endeavor at the best of times! This is a part of the present day reality that many of us in Canada may be facing as well as you folks living in the province of Quebec! Energy sources are a matter of some concern to many and environment does matter to most! I have lived in the province of Quebec when I was much younger. And though I am now at the retirement age and live in the province of Alberta, I still have chosen to invest some money in the province of Quebec!"
I added my previous post at the end of my message. It all makes such good sense!
All the best! Java
