Env. Ass Money Dispersed

I was digging through all the government junk on these environmental assessments. There are 3 going on in Ontario right now: Darlington, Deep Geology Thingie, and the Bruce C pension scam. Where did the little bit of chicken-feed money go, that they were throwing around?

For Bruce C:

And the deep hole in the ground:

Recommended Participant Funding Allocations
Deep Geologic Repository for Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Wastes Project

Applicant Total amount approved
Northwatch Coalition for Environmental Protection $ 6,500
Citizens for Renewable Energy $ 1,500
Greenpeace Canada $ 24,000

Total $ 50,000


Note how Greenpeece made out like bandits! I like Waterkeeper's web site. The rest of these guys will add colour to the proceedings. But I can't get over the power workers getting money! They are rich and powerful, and this money isn't enough to pay for their weekly pedicures! What do they have to say, other than be all pro-nuclear?
