Put a stake in nuclear vampire
Forget about new reactors to supply our electricity -- they're unreliable and expensive
By SHAWN-PATRICK STENSIL, GUEST COLUMNIST

The nuclear industry's much-vaunted "renaissance" is playing out like a bad vampire flick.

Every time it tries to crawl out of the grave it dug with earlier cost over-runs and the Chernobyl disaster, nuclear gets staked through the heart by an accountant.

The latest staking of the industry is the McGuinty government's decision to suspend the purchase of new reactors. They were supposed to cost a mere $6 billion and have suddenly been exposed as $26 billion monsters.

1. I think the only safe way to eliminate nuclear waste is to seal it up in rockets

and fire them off toward the sun ... eventually, it would vaporize as it neared the gravitational pull of the sun ...
