Centre for Independent Studies 
Join Dr. Chris Keefer, host of the renowned Decouple podcast and founder of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, for a deep dive into Canada’s nuclear energy journey. From Ontario’s coal phase-out in the 1980s to the revitalization of nuclear stations for modern industries, Canada’s nuclear story is filled with innovation and valuable lessons.
Why did Canada develop its own unique reactor design? Why is nuclear energy thriving in some regions while others remain skeptical? And how does nuclear fit into today’s renewable energy landscape?
In this exclusive discussion, Dr. Keefer is joined by Aidan Morrison, Director of Energy at the Centre for Independent Studies, to explore what Australia can learn from Canada’s nuclear experiences. Don’t miss this insightful conversation on the future of energy!

About The Author
Is this some sort of joke? And why dont you market yourselves as a classic liberal organisation. Why make the name so ambiguous? Unless of course you are trying to deceive people.
Australia doesnt need nuclear, it has the sun.
I have read Prof David Harveys book A Brief History of Neoliberalism. You canf really believe we are all ignorant, naive & stupid?
Also great youtube video The Chris Hedges Report talking with George Monbiot & his new book The Secret History of Neoliberalism.
Privatising energy to profit oligarchs & rich shareholders. Liberalism is a massive failure for the planet, the poor, justice, democracy & society. You tried it, it failed but you still demand it stays. Because you make $€$$$$$$$
Monbiot & Hedges talk about this corrupt proliferation of think tanks such as yours. At least you identify yourselves.
Get rid of of stupid high pressure reactors, it cost so much to stop the fun that happens when cooling fails
Energy scam team. Selling their "low cost" nuclear solution. Complete and utter scam. It makes me angry, this is the new "tech troll" wave.
"hey investors.. come pour money in to our companies to make us rich, while the gov rapes taxpayers to build the plants, pay maintenance, and decommissioning and then call it all cheap" .. cant wait.. sounds great.
He just said MSR only had 4 years experience, and they were given a chance.
That argument refutes itself.
Argument from ignorance!
New tech reduces temperatures 600 degrees to melt aluminum.
New fuel pellets using thorium burns more fuel material leaving less waste.
Dirty coal is only good for fly ash used in cement production.
Wow! Hocus pocus air independent high pressure steam tekamanology at greater than 3million megaJoules of energy per kilo plus the growth in sthn hemisphere engineering skillset, stacks up.
lol. Second cheapest… what’s the first? Huh???
CK is a legend. Nice
Also, just remember that much of the huge transmission infrastructure needed for transmitting intermittent renewables will constantly be operating at very low capacity but will need to be built for intermittent high capacity spikes to load balance between regions. If Vital infrastructure is necessary but is barely used, it depicts a cost inefficiency that will inflate the overall price of the system.
Australia has sun.
Benefits rooftop PV. Tutorial 6
V2G EV oversized battery, parked 23hrs daily.
PV cheaper than windows $m² installed.
Free electricity storage, 23hrs every day. $0
Day trading electricity with the grid for money. $2,000 ???
No imported petroleum savings. $3,000
2nd vehicle petroleum savings. $3,000
No grid electricity savings. $2,000
No gas heating and cooking and hotwater savings. $2,000
Shaded rooftops lower energy costs.
Warming latitudes, less heating.
When the sunshines all grid customers, yes.
Grid cashflow. Tutorial 5
The grid wants customers cashflow and dirt cheap electricity.
The customers can supply dirt cheap electricity.
New industrial grid customers, moving away from fossil fuels, can now supply CASHFLOW to the grid.
Nuclear dirt cheap electricity only if 247 demand.
Nuclear needs 60years of 247 cashflow.
In 10years, oversized battery EVs and PV rooftops in the millions will be the end of nuclear electricity cashflow.
Most vehicles are parked 23hrs every day and all night long. V2G selfparking selfplug-in EVs
80 years of 247 cash flow.
8 decades of cash flow.
We have 3 groups.
The customer' cash flow.
The grid owners $TRILLIONS asset
The generators $billions asset.
The customers with rooftop PV and EVs or BVs. With oversized battery, oversized for the daily 23hrs parking. The oversized battery parked all night long.
EV battery + rooftop PV. Tutorial 3
EV combined with rooftop PV main features :
EV oversized battery. Parked 23hrs every day EVs battery is oversized for the daily drive and is FREE STORAGE, dirt cheap storage.
PV can be dirt cheap and
No grid electricity is needed. $2,000
No gas heating, cooking, water heating is needed. $2,000
No imported petroleum is needed per vehicle $3,000
Feed-in savings $3,000
😎 Shaded rooftops lower energy
$++++ 😮 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Above Total $10,000 to $13,000 TAX FREE.
😮 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
In Australia when the sunshines.
In all warm latitudes.
In cooler warming latitudes when the sunshines 🌞 ☀️ 😎
The grid, when unloaded but supplied by customers excess feed-in, can now supply heavy industrial customers moving away from fossil fuels.
PV is cheaper than windows $m ² in Australia and can be the same everywhere.
This synergy can be exponentially valuable.
Hahaha 👍 😊😊😊😊
Nuclear electricity is grid electricity, is expensive electricity, needs customers cashflow.
So Nuclear needs.
Government laws controlling customer's offgrid savings.
Government construction of nuclear electricity generation plants.
Government disaster insurance.
Government garrenteed profits to Nuclear owners.
Government guaranteed ROI, return on investment and profits for grid owners.
8 decades of government commitment.
Government building more extremely expensive new grid capacity to stop CO2 emissions worldwide ????????
GRID cashflow demand $100sBILLIONS.
Generation cashflow demand $10sBILLIONS
Who is the biggest looser ??
Really great discussion
It isn't a political issue its just a matter of reality. That reality is that to maintain living standards post 2050 we will need all the energy we can get.
Australia's Gencost energy supply modelling out to 2050 is very unconvincing. It leaves most of the renewables costs particularly energy storage and transmission out of the equation and discounts the needs of transport and industry.
Australia could do worse than partner with Canada on nuclear energy. 4*4GW (16GW total) Darlington scale CANDU6 plants would go most of the way to solving Australia's energy supply problems in a post green house gas era. This would still require 48GW of renewables including storage, but with nuclear meeting the baseload this would be a much more manageable proposition.

From perspective in the Carolinas where a restructuring of the privateering captains of commerce shifted the compulsory voting/loyalty process to Australian conditions, Jailers and Prisoners Of His Majesty setting the social structure that still seems to dominate, (which could be said to fit natural biological circumstances eternally).
I would like to know what King Charles thinks about having been conscripted to take responsibility for an empire hollowed out by privateering anti social treasonous treachery.
