They were building Bruce B when I first joined the Old Company. I am deeply aware of the site. You see that nice line? It is the uncharted breakout of the Grenville Fault, part of the magnificent structure of the deep crust under Ontario. When I was doing site selection, before the Ontario ndp destroyed us, I rejected all of this as a site.
It is amazing what you can see with blinkers on. The lefties can't oppose this based on geology and physics, because that is the same stuff that destroys the illusion of climate change.
Bruce C plops into that hole in the middle. Lots of tunnels for water intake and outflow. A wonderful project, and I will never oppose it. I opposed the nuclear waste site just up the road on the same swiss-cheese rock, and was thoroughly swatted by the government review team. Who cares about the deep rock? It's so deep! At least that thing was quietly dropped.
But I am ridiculous with an interest in geophysics. I am also proposing that Pickering B has had the ground settle under it, and is suspended 3m by the steel piles, a fine zone for go-carts. At least I'm all for the Wesleyville big nuclear plant, that is solid rock.
As I have written, we are in the zone for a New Madrid style earthquake at the 1 in 1000 to 10000 odds per year. That's the Hamilton fault with endless signs that it is more active than New Madrid. When you have a nuclear plant with bad foundations, it bounces like a jelly cake. That makes the odds of a major radiation cook-off at 1 in 10,000, instead of the expected 1 in ten million. All of this can be swatted by pronouncements from influencers.
I will never get above my 3 readers, because the strict use of the Scientific Method would destroy political power. We just wait and have parties.
ps I love the concept of a Mining Influencer
Yes, we are starting the Party of Rationality.
