Actual Costs Of Nuclear Energy in Saskatchewan

In Saskatchewan it does not appear the actual costs of nuclear energy are being calculated accurately. There is a legacy of environmental damage in Northern Saskatchewan left by the uranium industry. Hot mine sites and tailings ponds have been left behind for others to clean up. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there is a budget or a fund set aside to pay for the current generation to come around and clean up the damage.

GDP Obsolete

"Using GDP as the most important measure of our society's health is like using body weight as the most important measure of our physical health. Too much growth is unhealthy."

GDP

Sandra Finley says: "GDP is a measure of how quickly we fill our garbage dumps."

Here are a couple alternatives for the acronym GDP (Gross Domestic Product):

1. Gross Disgusting Product
2. Garbage Domestically Produced.

The use of GDP should go to the garbage dump not our resources.
