Canada To Take On Nuclear Energy

If the word "Global Warming" has become such a popular topic of conversation in politics, then why has Stephan Harper chose nuclear energy for Canada?

Many fellow Canadians(including myself) are against Stephan Harper and this idea of nuclear fisson for energy. But why you ask, when we can have cheaper energy bills...

Well here are a couple of reasons, I chose:

1) Higher risk of Nuclear weapons being produced.
2) High risk of fossil fuels that cause Greenhouse gasses, that ends in global warming.
3) Serious health risks from Uranium mining, it is hazardous to our environment and the health of the miners. But, this problem goes way beyond the uranium mines, as quoted by the green party.

Harper says that one of his main focuses as Prime minister is the environment, yet he wants Canada to invest in nuclear power plants. Nuclear plants that create harmful chemicals that effects global warming and our ozone layer.

Now, I'm not saying Harper with the help of Canada's environment minister, John Baird have done nothing to help with our environment in crisis.... but it's contradicting for Canada to invest billions of dollars into something that will still effect our earth in the future!
