The top researcher with non-profit organization Canarie Inc isn’t suggesting we abandon nuclear power–but–says investing in renewable energy in the next ten years is vital. Prominent provincial academic at the University of Moncton, Yves Gangnon, says the province should abandon its pursuit of nuclear power in favour of renewable energy. But Bill St. Arnaud says most of North America’s aging nuclear power plants will be going off-line in the next ten years.
He says individual businesses and homeowners should be looking for ways to generate their own renewable energy–because those that do will be the ones saving money during the energy crunch.
