Ban nuclear power in Canada now.

Canadian Nuke Shut Down Petition

Target:
10,000,000
Sponsored by: 
Over the years, Canadian governments have brought in nuclear power as an apparently 'Clean' alternative to coal and oil. As you may already know, nuclear power plants are NOT GREEN!


The Ontario government has promised an upgrade for the Bruce County nuclear power facility to go towards building a few new reactors and fixing up old ones. Many nuclear positive website have labelled this upgrade as a godsend while labelling wind and solar plants as %u2018Pesky%u2019. However, this upgrade is just one step closer to turning our planet into a nuclear disaster zone. Stop the problem before it gets any worse!


Here is three reasons why nuclear power plants are so bad.

1. All the uranium that they use has to be mined; Mining causes massive amounts of CO2.

2. They emit tonnes of nuclear waste every year; radioactive waste causes cancer in thousands every year, as well as destroying the environment.
3. They are not completely safe; when something like a nuclear meltdown happens, toxic wastes and gases (mostly radioactive) are spewed into the atmosphere as well as into the areas surrounding the power plant.

It is absolutely controversial that we ban all nuclear energy in Canada NOW! At the state our environment is in now, we can%u2019t afford to wait much longer.


Remember that this survey is only for banning nuclear energy and not for banning plants that produce radioactive goods for medicinal use.

One more thing, You don't have to live in Canada TO SIGN IT! I live in Australia and I created the petition!

"Uranium is the raw material of a power-elite who has taken Mother Earth's every living creature hostage." The Late Petra Kelly, An Authentic Green Nuclear fissioning happens in nuclear reactors or in nuclear warheads. Nuclear waste is the only product of nuclear fissioning. Nuclear waste is destructive of all living things. Nuclear waste lasts forever and must also be monitored forever. Nuclear waste will beggar our grand children. Greed for profit now is the only thing that drives the nuclear industry. Tapping renewable energy sources coupled with moderate consumption and healthy habits will meet all our needs and bring back a healthy environment for now and all generations to come.

Upgrade My Ass!! Clean Alternative my BUTT!! What’s wrong with the Government here, this is Another Disgusting Example of Government & Big Business Corruption, wasteful spending, discrimination and Crimes against Humanity & Animal!!”. AS WELL AS GOVERNMENTS TAKING FROM THE POOR AND GIVING TO THE RICH AND THEMSELVES. Ridiculous Pork barrel Policy Twisting Environmental Hazard Oil Fanatics!! We Will All Distribute This Page to Big Media and Start Letting those “Useless Talking Heads on TV News” know what’s really worth reporting to the world… Useless they are because who knows if they even know about this? But if they did, they should Report it as we will also through our blogs.. … I’m sickened and disgusted. I Beg all Intelligent and Responsible People to Please Stop Letting This Happen STILL.. How can you when your kids and your friend’s kids and your kids kids and your kids friends kids and so forth; Need you to stand up and take action daily for their own safety.. WE’VE GOT TO STOP THE MADNESS AND IT STARTS WITH GOVERNMENT!! We Will Petition Them Continuously and write them letters continually so that they can hear our cries daily with what ever they are doing, what ever they are saying, and what ever they start destroying next.. The Government will continue to allow the destruction of planet, the killing of animals, and the poison of people.. Radio Active Foods, Water, Air, Diseases, Products, and particles in the air to ingest when we breath. The perfect receipt for Government Profit… NO MORE NUCLEAR PLEASE. NO MORE COAL. NO MORE OIL AND NO MORE DRILLING…. NO MORE PESTISCIDES, NO MORE FERTALIZERS and don’t forget to Boycott places who support NUCLEAR AND COAL AND OIL AND DRILLING AND KILLING… It's all just one step closer to turning our planet into a nuclear disaster zone.

I agree there are better alternatives!!!Wind and solar power need to be optimized as a clean energy source. Radio activity is too volatile and too dangerous and too toxic a power source!!!
