About this episode
James Scongack discusses the future of nuclear power and its historical context in Canada.
James Scongack, COO and Executive Vice President at Bruce Power, joins Steve for a sponsored piece of content in partnership with Bruce Power to discuss the history of nuclear power, when the nuclear era began in this province, the nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima, what impact that had here in Canada, Germany’s response to Fukushima and the decision to entirely phase out nuclear power in the country. They then discuss “energy tribalism,” the role of natural gas, the need for a mix of different energy source, getting the grid to net-zero, the future of nuclear power, Bruce Power’s C project, small modular reactors, Ontario’s role in providing medical isotopes and how energy could factor in to the on-going CUSMA negotiations with Trump.
