As the global demand for clean and reliable energy grows, nuclear power is being reconsidered as a crucial part of the solution. What can Australia learn from Canada’s decades-long experience with nuclear energy?

In this discussion hosted by the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS), Director of Energy Research Aidan Morrison is joined by Tracy Primeau, board member of Ontario Power Generation and former nuclear operator, to explore Canada’s successful transition from coal and the revival of its nuclear sector.

Together, Primeau and Morrison tackle vital questions about the future of the energy industry in Australia:

What can Australia learn from Canada’s pragmatic approach to nuclear power?

How can decarbonisation and energy security go hand-in-hand?

Is political will or public opinion the real barrier to nuclear adoption? How can we challenge misinformation and build a more rational energy debate?

With a-to-z industry experience and a powerful personal story, Primeau shares valuable insights into how nuclear power can drive both economic opportunity and environmental progress. Could Australia follow a similar path?
