So i have to get some online statistics for my class at queens here, and what better people to help than the CMers.

So here is the question:

If your city was using more power then could be produced by a local power plant, so the construction of new one was necessary, would you have a problem with a nuclear power plant being built outside of your city?

Keep in mind this plant would be built were no other infrastructures currently exist, and that the plant would be up to all Canadian Codes. As well as there would be a board of people from the public to address all concerns before any construction took place.

Thanks

I would have no problems with it.

This is going to take a lot of imagining...

couple of questions:

is the industry de-regulated?
what town would this be in, and what other measures are available to you. (example, next to paciffic, desalination plant, or high winds 10 months out of the year, so those windmillthings.)

The proposed site is outside of montreal, which means it will use the st lawrence for cooling waters.

Although wind in the future may be a viable source of power, currently wind turbines dont produce enough power to support a city of montreal's size.

Not enough power?

This looks like a job for................. SUPERMAN!

Montreal??

*tries to vote "no" again*

well i voted no
i meant to vote yes

Fuckin rights. Now lets see him Superman the shit out of things even though he's dead.

You all know he's capable of doing it.

obviously

No! Bad! I Love the environment!

Bad!



Stupid!

Bad!

But isnt Nuclear power cleaner and more efficient? The only downside I can see is the small chance of a meltdown

the water used to cool the reactor gets heated and dumped into rivers and lakes where the temperature changes fucks shit up and kills everything.

The residual effects of it are much better then that from coal. Also, the large problem with the water warming effect is in lakes not rivers. In lakes it creates a pool of warm water, in a flowing environment like a large river, the effects are not all that evident as water is quickly mixed and you don't get the thermal plumes associated with plants that are placed beside lakes.

Also, ideas are floating around to use that excess heat to melt parking lots in the winter, significantly cooling the water before it goes back into the river.

Hydro is the way to go.
