> Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced Tuesday in Saskatoon that the province plans to build about 2,600 megawatts of nuclear generation by 2050. He called nuclear power more than an energy source, describing it as a “nation-building opportunity” that could strengthen Canada’s economy and eventually enable electricity exports across Canada and to the U.S.
