How should we respond to the climate crisis? Canada is proposing a wide range of actions to address the climate crisis, including supporting the expansion of nuclear infrastructure in the form of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). In New Brunswick, the SMRs propose to extract plutonium from used nuclear fuel, raising weapons proliferation concerns in addition to the well-known environmental impacts of nuclear power. Does an expansion of nuclear power fit in a responsible climate action plan? What are the alternatives to address the urgency of the climate crisis?</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZYfVxI33RXGqA1ZRI2_8zA">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZYfVxI33RXGqA1ZRI2_8zA</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>For the best Canadian climate and energy news, visit and subscribe to the Energy Mix newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="http://theenergymix.com/">http://theenergymix.com/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>Democracy Now Daily Show - global peace, justice and enviro news<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/">https://www.democracynow.org/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submissions, subscribes, unsubscribes, and comments: <a href="mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org">mailto:angela@cleanairalliance.org</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Share this newsletter on social media using this link: <a href="http://greenspiration.org/news-events/">http://greenspiration.org/news-events/</a> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
