On this episode, Nate is joined by ER doctor, nuclear power advocate, and podcast host Chris Keefer for a broad ranging conversation including the basics of nuclear energy, how he engages with opposing opinions, and hypotheticals for a future medical system. Coming from a broad background, Chris understands what it means to have a human to human conversation and put together the pieces of our systemic puzzle in a clear and compelling way. What role could nuclear play for our future energy needs - and how are different countries making use of it today? How can we prioritize the health and safety of people under energetic and resource constraints? Most of all, how do we listen to others that we don't agree with - regardless of the issue - to foster the diverse perspectives necessary to navigate the coming challenges of the human predicament?  About Chris Keefer: Chris Keefer MD, CCFP-EM is a Staff Emergency Physician at St Joseph's Health Centre and a Lecturer for the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. He is also an avid advocate for expanding nuclear power as the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy and Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy.

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed a request that would allow for the release of the Government of Ontario's mandate letters. While the decision puts an end to one hot button issue, it may have spawned another surrounding transparency in the government's decision-making processes. Olivia Chow's gambit to lower the tax hike for Torontonians seems to have paid off. The Federal government has announced $362.4 million dollars in funding for refugee supports without which, Chow said, the tax increase would have been higher. Her recent interactions with the Federal government have put many partnerships across levels of government into the spotlight.  The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is getting refurbished. The project is already slated to cost $2 billion for the initial phase, but it could cost billions more to complete. Why invest in nuclear? Why not invest in more solar like the rest of the world? Dr. Chris Keefer joins the podcast to discuss nuclear energy and why he thinks it's necessary to reach a clean energy future. And a note to listeners, audio episodes of the podcast will be dropping on Fridays rather than Tuesdays starting February 16th. #onpoli is very excited to be introducing a video component to our show, but you'll still get the same high-quality audio in your feed every week.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine threw the world's energy market into chaos and added a renewed sense of urgency to the search for new sources of power. Many Western governments, including Canada's, are betting big on wind and solar, but there's also growing interest in nuclear power as a reliable and clean alternative. At the same time, many people still have questions about how safe it really is (and whether building new plants is even feasible anymore). On this episode of Free Lunch by The Peak, Dr. Chris Keefer, a Toronto-based medical doctor and founder of Doctors for Nuclear Energy, joins us to make the case for nuclear energy. ----- Links: Follow Dr. Chris Keefer on Twitter Listen to the Decouple Podcast More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe

Dr. Chris Keefer is one of the busiest and most successful nuclear energy advocates working today. He is a Canadian emergency room doctor, the founder of Doctors for Nuclear Energy, the founder and host of the Decouple podcast, the founder of Decouple Media, and the founder and President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy (C4NE). And to think, just a few years ago, Chris was a free thinking progressive who had only thought negatively about nuclear energy if he bothered to think much about it at all. We talked about his journey from a tribal antinuclear thinker – one who thought negatively about nuclear because most of the people they knew did – to an openly and consistently pronuclear advocate who believes that nuclear energy plays an important role in our present and an increasingly vital one in our future. As the Crown corporation's sole shareholder, the province of Ontario requested Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to determine if it could safely continue operating the Pickering nuclear power plant. On September 29, 2022, OPG announced that planned to keep the Pickering nuclear plant operating for at least one more year. It also announced that it would conduct a new evaluation to determine if refurbishing the plant for an additional 30 year period was justified. Chris and his team at C4NE declared that September 29 should now be called Pickering Day. OPG requires approval from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for its revised schedule. The CNSC, which employs a rigorous and transparent decision-making process, will make the final decision regarding Pickering's safe operating life. OPG will continue to ensure the safety of the Pickering facility through rigorous monitoring, inspections, and testing.Province of Ontario news release titled "Ontario Supports Plan to Safely Continue Operating the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station" Over the past several years, C4NE fought what was initially a lonely battle to save Pickering and to prevent Ontario from dramatically increasing its use of natural gas to supply electricity to Canada's most industrialized province. As it continued to show up to various meetings, events and even parliamentary sessions, C4NE accumulated a following that included other advocates, plant workers, union organizers and local business leaders. They reminded people that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission had approved a plan to refurbish Pickering before the 2009 closure decision. They pointed out that the energy market had changed dramatically since that decision, which was made in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2008 and at a time when "cheap natural gas" seemed to be clean and infinitely available. We also discussed the coincidence that OPG announced it was open to keeping Pickering for 30 more years just three days after it announced a dam-breaking deal with Microsoft to begin selling clean energy credits sourced from its nuclear and hydro-electric fleets. That deal should be the first of many announcements from major tech companies that have made pledges to power their data centers with clean power on an hour by hour basis, constantly matching demand with supply. This is an evolution and an improvement over the trading system of exclusive "renewable" energy credits where companies purchase enough credits so that their total energy demand is matched by the total energy production of sources like wind or solar that are not likely to be producing power to supply demand at the time that the demand occurs. Aside: Atomic Insights has an article in the works to more completely describe the clean energy credit deal and the system that Ontario is developing to track and trade the credits. Look for that article to appear here in the near future. End Aside. Chris and I then ranged into a number of other topics focused on Canada's nuclear energy leadership and its opportunities to prosper in the continuing Nuclear Renaissance. (Please remember,

The Ford government has announced that it will keep the Pickering Nuclear plant operational until 2026, which was originally scheduled to shut down in 2025. AND they are looking at refurbishing it so that it can stay on line for decades. We get 14% of our energy from nuclear – without it we have energy shortages— Dr. Chris Keefer, Emergency Physician and President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, sees' the decision as a massive win as it not only cleans up the climate, it's an economic win.

During his tour with German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, throughout the week, Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made a comment about how Canada would be a reliable source of clean energy for Europe as a solution to their reliance on Russian oil and gas. What he's not sold on, however, is the idea of exporting liquified natural gas. To talk about this, Alex spoke with Dr. Chris Keefer, an ER Physician but also the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy.

Today on the Richard Syrett Show: Author Robert L. Maginnis discusses Taiwan's independence and if it's worth creating a war. Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington talks about the 5 doctors who died in the GTA during July. The President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, Chris Keefer shares his thoughts on Ontario closing the Pickering nuclear plant. Sheila Gunn Reid, host for Rebel News on C40 cities. Then Lex Tan, the host of “Ringside Heat” gives us a recap of the WWE SummerSlam.

Guest Host Arlene Bynon speaks with Dr. Chris Keefer, the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy about Ontario's energy grid possibly losing three nuclear plants that provide the province with abundant clean energy. Dr. Keefer tells Arlene that without these plants, and a larger push for more nuclear plants, we will only see energy prices continue to increase as well as a return to dangerous greenhouse gas emission levels.  Let's get talking See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Keefer is a medical doctor and president of Canadians for Nuclear Energy who testified before the Canadian Parliament on April 25, 2022. In his third appearance on the podcast, (previous appearances were November 2021 and May 2021) Keefer (who is also the host of the Decouple podcast) talks about the growing bipartisan interest in nuclear energy in Canada, why the “CANDU reactors are immortal,” the dangers of America's powerful anti-nuclear “NGO-industrial complex,” Canada's uranium wealth, and why investing in renewable energy has been “an enormous waste.”

Missed the show? No worries, we've got you covered with the ON Point podcast. On this episode Alex is first joined by Eugene Czolij, President of the Ukraine 250 NGO and former President of the Ukrainian World Congress from 2008 - 2018. Eugene tells Alex why NATO's continued refusal to call a "No-Fly-Zone" over Ukraine only endorses Putin's aggressive behaviour, and why not only Ukraine, but all of Europe would benefit from a No-Fly-Zone. Next, Alex is joined by no stranger to the station, Marcus Kolga  a Sr. Fellow at Macdonald-Laurier Institute Centre for Advancing Canada's Interests Abroad and Director of DisInfoWatch. Alex and Marcus discuss how Putin's aggression is not only leading to Russia becoming more isolated in the world, but how it is also re-raising the Iron Curtain from the Soviet era and how it will effect the Russian people. And finally Alex is joined by Dr. Chris Keefer, the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy to discuss the horrendous attack by Russian forces on the largest nuclear plant in Europe, and why more than ever not only Canada but the EU should become more invested in clean nuclear energy.
