Join Dr Chris Keefer, host of the famous Decouple podcast and founder of Canadians for Nuclear Energy for an evening exploring Canada's nuclear experiences.
From phasing out coal in Ontario during the 1980s to revitalising nuclear stations for new industries, Canada’s nuclear journey is filled with innovation and lessons. Why did Canada create its own unique reactor design? Why is nuclear energy prominent in some regions but not others? And how does it fit with renewables today?
Explore these questions and more with Chris, followed by a discussion with Aidan Morrison, Director of Energy at the Centre for Independent Studies, as they explore what Australia can learn from Canada’s nuclear experience.
In January 2024, the CIS launched its Energy Program, focused on providing practical solutions to climate change, with an emphasis on nuclear power and the clean energy transition. Led by Aidan Morrison, the program has been delivering clear, market-based policy recommendations that balanced economic growth with climate goals, while assessing the full costs and risks of the renewable energy transition.
