Things are finally moving on the nuclear front. The CNSC has decided to forgo tedious general public hearings, and zoom directly to a (rather cursory) federal environmental review. Because the talent is so thin, this will probably be the same bunch of guys that are doing the Bruce deep disposal.
I'm in a real quandary about whether I should be more or less obnoxious here, especially in wanting to line my own pocketbook. My usual approach has been toward 'pain in the arse', hoping that they would pay me to keep quiet. Now, I'm wondering about that approach, since there have been no bribes under the table. :)
Anyway, I expect these panels to be stack with Conservative cronies, that don't know anything about seismic, geology, geophysics, or blasting. Both the Darlington and Bruce sites are 'breaking new ground' in the areas of violating basic physics. And we all know that "Mother Nature doesn't like to be fooled."

What about any efforts on the part of the transmission side of Electrical energy?
Some glimer of light down the tunnel, train? No, HVDC!

Apparently why Qubec hydro didn't go down in the last Blackout was HVDC tielines.
You need a lot of land for DC lines, especially at the ends for a grounding mat. Or else you will fry all the cows where they stand!
