Snowshoe, Canada - backing away from nuclear power. Ontario has recently built one of the worlds largest coal fired plants on the shores of Lake Erie built to backfill declining Hydro and nuclear. In New Brunswick they are discussing replacing Point Lepreu (Nuke) with a gas fired generator. No new nukes in years with substantial growth = lots of coal. Sweden, Germany and Belgium have passed laws to abandon nuclear energy but without any definite plan for replacing it. The Swedish government closed one nuclear plant in 2002 and another in 2003. All of these signed Kyoto - so they are going to have trouble. In the US - NIMBY laws kill hydro, wind and nuclear leaving existing coal plants to get expanded. Only France with their authoritarian central government and disdain for environmentalists (remember New Zealand?) has managed to stay the course and now produces 75% of their electricity from Nuclear power.
