Provincial Green Party leader Naomi Hunter says solar and wind power are already accessible.
With solar and wind energy already available, Hunter told reporters on Monday the province’s plan for SMRs is costly and would take too long to develop.
Don Morgan, the minister responsible for SaskPower, told reporters that while he appreciates the Greens for wanting more wind and solar, they don’t meet the criteria for base load power. Minister and Minister Responsible for SaskPower Don Morgan, Minister of Energy in Ontario, Todd Smith and Minister of Energy, Alberta, Sonya Savage speak at a news conference in March to launch the Small Modular Reactor Strategic Plan.Federal interim Green Party Leader Amita Kuttner said base load power can be found from other sources, like geothermal and battery storage.Advertisement 3Morgan said geothermal energy could be considered base load, but “the science and technology isn’t there yet.
The province has said the industry is regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, a body that it says ensures top safety. Ontario has used nuclear power for 70 years.Morgan has said it’s critical people feel comfortable with the process as the province begins consultations over SMRs.“At the same time, we want to do things to reduce emissions,” Morgan said, adding SaskPower is ahead of its goals on reduce emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.
