flag Alberta’s first proposed nuclear plant faces opposition, with over half of residents voting against it due to environmental and agricultural concerns.

flag A proposed nuclear power plant in Alberta’s County of Northern Lights has split residents, with a non-binding vote showing over half oppose the project, Alberta’s first, capable of powering 4.8 million homes. flag Concerns focus on long-term environmental risks, contamination, and impacts on farmland, echoed by a former resident of a contaminated site. flag Supporters highlight clean, reliable energy for growing demand from data centers and population growth, citing the Peace River’s water supply. flag The developer, Energy Alberta, paused the project for further consultation. flag Critics argue nuclear takes 15 years to build, far longer than renewables, which can be deployed faster and cheaper. flag Alberta’s government is assessing nuclear’s role, but any decision may take a decade.
