Energy Minister Stephen Lecce says nuclear power and innovative new technology will be a better way to cut the province’s environmental footprint than charging a price on carbon.

The federal government has said the purpose of the carbon price is to deter people from pollution by making it expensive.

Critics say an increased reliance on natural gas to generate power as nuclear power stations undergo refurbishment means the grid is dirtier.
