    People have been wanting more nuclear for decades. Since the early 2000’s they were recommended as an alternative to fossil fuels.

    I think Canada’s last new nuclear plant was built in 1988.

    That it takes long is a poor excuse because if we could have started 10, 20, 30 years ago. But the second best time to build is now, so pitter patter.
