Government inability to recognize the value of nuclear power is 
amazing.  Consider this web page:

http://www.energy.gov.on.ca/index.cfm?fuseaction=english.electricity

The page includes a graph that shows that 49% of Ontario's power was 
produced by nuclear plants, yet the topics on the page menu are:
Home
Media Centre
Conservation
Electricity
Renewable Energy
Oil and Gas

Nuclear power is not even addressed as a topic.  Amazing.  This bias 
can be seen in almost all Canadian government web sites.  Nuclear is 
only ever mentioned when it just cannot be ignored, and even then it 
is given minimal attention.  Oil and gas owns the show, and rewables 
are allowed to appear to give the appearance that the show is not 
monopolized.  The oil and gas strangle hold has to be broken before 
any government can get enthusiastic about nuclear power.
