If this industry were a company, its shareholders would have deserted it years ago. In just one generation it has killed, wounded or blighted the lives of many millions of people and laid waste to millions of square miles of land. In that time it has been subsidised to the tune of trillions of dollars and it will cost hundreds of billions more to clean up and store the messes it has caused and the waste it has created. It has had three catastrophic failures now in 25 years and dozens more close shaves. Its workings have been marked around the world by mendacity, cover-ups, secrecy and financial incompetence. – <span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/14/fukushima-nuclear-industry">John Vidal</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>----------------------------------------------------------------</span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>---------------------------------------------------------------- <o:p></o:p></span></p><h2><span style='color:#7030A0'>Today's Question</span><span style='color:#7030A0'> – CTV News – Is nuclear power worth the risk?<o:p></o:p></span></h2><h2><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal'>As of now, 53% yes, 47% no.
