Letter to the editor: Tired rhetoric

Notes: "I am concerned about the tired rhetoric of anti-nuclear protesters in 'After Fukushima: Does nuclear power have a future in Canada ?' (May 2011, p. 1). The Anglican church, along with other faith groups, led an independent examination of the issue in the mid-1980s. The Interfaith Program for the Public Awareness of Nuclear Issues concluded that Canada's nuclear power program was safe and morally sound. The 'Anglican Journal' also erred in attributing Ontario Hydro as the owner of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. For more than a decade, Ontario's nuclear reactors have been owned by either Bruce Power (Bruce Nuclear Power Development) or Ontario Power Generation". [Text of entire article.]
