Small modular reactors offer a way to create simpler and cheaper nuclear energy, according to the federal government, and are part of Canada’s plan to achieve a low-carbon future.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford met at an energy facility in Bowmanville, Ont., to make an announcement about investing in the future Canada’s clean energy. Carney said his government would pledge $2 billion to build the new technology.

“The trade war is causing massive economic uncertainty, holding back investment and costing jobs here in Ontario. This is not a transition. It is a rupture. To confront the challenges, to emerge stronger, Canadians must chart a new course,” said Carney. “We must take control of our future, bet big on ourselves, and play to win.”
