Part of this message was reflected back from government in a recent Q&amp;A with Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr in the Hill Times.<\/p>\n<p>Carr\u2019s reference to nuclear was particularly notable given the fact that his comments were part of a special feature in the Hill Times on climate and renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4889 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/talknuclear.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Carr-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Q: While the government has set a target for the percentage of energy it hopes to draw from renewable sources, are there any source-specific targets? For example, how much energy will be drawn from solar or wind, etc.? Also, is nuclear included as a renewable source in those calculations? If so, what do you make of arguments that until solutions are found for the safe and proper disposal of nuclear waste, it is in fact not a \u2018clean\u2019 energy source?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A: \u201cToday, 80 per cent of our electricity comes from non-greenhouse gas-emitting sources, including nuclear energy, and our government\u2019s goal is to put Canada on the pathway to 90 per cent, by 2030, in large part by accelerating the phasing out of coal-powered electricity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>However, power generation falls under provincial jurisdiction and it is the responsibility of the provinces to decide the best ways to green their electricity grids.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> \u201cWhen it comes to producing nuclear energy, waste owners are required, under federal law to implement safe solutions for their waste in both the short and long term. Pursuant to the Nuclear Safety and Control Act, all waste produced from nuclear power generation is currently safely managed at facilities licensed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAs I told the Canadian Nuclear Association earlier this year, there is no reason why nuclear energy can\u2019t be a part of the solution. In fact, Canada is one of only nine Mission Innovation countries to include nuclear energy as part of its clean-energy portfolio.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhy? Because the use of nuclear power throughout the world makes an important contribution to cleaner air and the mitigation of climate change. Over 22 per cent of the uranium used to generate nuclear power around the world is mined in Canada. This displaces the equivalent of between 300 and 600 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year compared to electricity that otherwise would have been generated using fossil fuels.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>mvigliotti@hilltimes.com<\/p>\n<p>The Hill Times \u2013 July 17, 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CNA\u2019s ongoing dialogue and lobbying efforts with government are underpinned with the message that Canada\u2019s nuclear sector is a strategic advantage for the nation in its capability to enable clean prosperity for all Canadians.
