humanity, and so has no place in a clean energy future.\r\n\r\nIt is essential that we challenge the claims that the nuclear industry makes, identify the true costs and threats of nuclear power, and call upon politicians and regulators to be transparent and honest about the considerable risks of nuclear power to the public.\r\n\r\nEvery dollar that governments and the nuclear industry spend repairing old reactors and building new ones &#8211; such as the Darlington station in Ontario &#8211; reduces our chance to invest in a future of sustainable energy in Canada.\r\n\r\nWe want an <a
