All this talk about the possibility of a deal between French nuclear giant Areva and the provincial government leading to a second reactor at Point Lepreau is drawing condemnation from the Conservation Council's David Thompson. He calls it ridiculous. Thompson claims people in the province don't want more nuclear power but would rather see renewable forms of energy together with conservation. He is also dismissive by any suggestion of a clean energy park arguing you can't have any such thing with the radiactive spent fuel that comes with nuclear power.
Meantime, Premier Shawn Graham will be in town tomorrow for an announcement on energy.
