Canada probably did the right thing by not developing the nuclear energy. The nuclear energy is very clean, and it is also very effective and produces a lot, being relatively cheap too. On the other hand, it comes with the risk of making a huge catastrophe. Since Canada has lot of rivers, especially large ones, it is capable of producing more than enough energy, and plus not having the risks that the nuclear energy brings with it. Also, the country has very small population, and even though the economy is well developed, it is not that big of consumer of energy when compared with the largest economies, thus it is able to produce clean energy, risk free, without any problem for itself.
