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?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
