This week, we sit down with Temi Udo-Affia, Manager of Clean Electricity at Nova Scotia’s Department of Energy, for a deep dive into the province’s ambitious path to net-zero.
Temi shares how the 2030 Clean Power Plan is reshaping Nova Scotia’s energy landscape through wind, solar, and community-driven projects. We explore how the province is planning to phase out coal, modernize the grid, and build a system that’s reliable, affordable, and sustainable. From long-duration storage to innovative policy shifts like the creation of a new independent system operator, this episode is packed with insight on how smart planning today is powering a cleaner tomorrow.
Whether you're an energy professional, policymaker, or just curious about what a real clean energy transition looks like—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

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.
