Alberta lighted by nuclear power

As oil sands projects increases in Alberta, nuclear energy becomes a need. As you know, the process to extract oil from sand needs steam. That steam is being produced by burning natural gas, but if this large operation increases, which of course is expected, demand of energy would require more natural gas abviously; as a result, greenhouse gases in Alberta would increase at uncontrolled rates. However, the Prime Minister of Canada has anounced that its administration will launch a plan to reduce greenhouse gases and lead the industrialized countries; therefore, it is expected to built a nuclear power plant in Alberta to supply energy for this large project. Moreover, because the third generation of reactor are safer, it may be less likely to occur an accident such as Chernobyl. In addition to that, Canada has a great potential to explot its own natural resources of uranium and its own technology of reactors. According to the information that I have founded, by 2016, the oil sands projects will be working with nuclear energy. I think that this is a big challenge for Albertans who deserve to live in a clean, yet safe place.
