Energy in the One Earth Community

As a faith community, we are called to the transformative work of principle-based approaches to environment and development issues. We have before us a number of nuclear fuel system issues, including refurbishments, consideration of new nuclear power plants, expansion of uranium exploration and mining, plans for the fabrication and use of enriched uranium, and a decision from the Minister of Natural Resources to move toward deep geological disposal as the long-term management option for nuclear fuel waste in Canada. The principle-based approach of The United Church of Canada views nuclear fuel waste as inseparable from all of these nuclear fuel system issues and as interconnected with many broader issues directly related to how we view the world and see our place in it.
