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.

Blue Skies returns and continues its series on the important role of nuclear energy in our economic and environmental future. Dr. Chris Keefer, the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, joins Erin to discuss his own nuclear ‘conversion' and how his advocacy is educating Canadians and changing the public policy debate. They discuss Canadian industry advancements from Small Modular Reactors and new build at the Bruce site to the extension of Pickering Generating Station and the role CANDU technology has played developing this important sector.
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.

Today's podcast: The public inquiry into 'foreign interference' into Canadian elections, headed by Commissioner Marie Josee Hogue, wrapped up a week of hearings yesterday, while federal Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc insisted the government will keep a tight lid on what documentation and information will be publicly released. Groups and individuals affected are calling on the government for significant public disclosure. China primarily and India have been identified as being active in interference in Canada's 2019 and 2021 federal elections. CPC MPs Michael Chong (Ontario) and Kenny Chiu (B.C.) were targeted by China in 2021, as were former MP and CPC leader Erin O'Toole and NDP: MP Jenny Kwan. Guest: Kenny Chiu. Former CPC MP targeted by Beijing in the 2021 federal election. MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) making news this week, particularly the issue of mental illness qualifying for MAID.

Julia Mallot took her 19 year old daughter to St. Mary's General Hospital E.R. in Kitchener, Ontario where her daughter was diagnosed with acute appendicitis while experiencing terrible pain. It took 19 hours, which included the assigning of an E.R. bed, only to have the bed then required for another patient, before Julia Mallot's daughter received very necessary surgery. (2 weeks ago CMA president Dr. Kathleen Ross joined us to specifically speak about the critical concerns about the condition of Canada's E.R's Guest: Julia Mallot, mother of 19 year old, op ed writer, Julia Mallot is also a trans person and host of alottamalotta.com where gender identity and ideology are discussed.

Ever wonder about how someone writes a murder mystery? Local author Chris Keefer talks about her new novel "No Comfort for the Undertaker" (2022) set in 1900, plus her process of developing the book and its characters. She notes the importance of having "sensitivity readers" review how characters from different backgrounds are portrayed -- in this case, an African American man being presented by a white woman. She also describes the importance of getting feedback and support from regular meetings with other authors. The second book in the series, "Tragedy's Twin," will be released in October 2023. For more information about the author, her books, and more, visit www.authorchriskeefer.com. Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine: We begin with Mark Dunlea's story on The Empire Justice Center report that states that people of color and low-income individuals are more harshly treated at low level traffic stops. Then, Moses Nagel gets information about the Sunday, August 13th rally to denounce white supremacy in Saratoga Springs in reaction to recent marches held by The Proud Boys. Later on, Elizabeth (EP) Press interviews Evarist Nicholas, former resident of Harbour Point Gardens about the housing saga and working with Legal Aid. After that, Brea Barthel interviews local mystery author Chris Keefer about her new novel "No Comfort for the Undertaker." Finally, Lavender gives us a look into the summer Troy Farmers Market.
In his fifth appearance on the podcast, Chris Keefer. a Toronto-based medical doctor and president of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, talks about the historic announcements made last week by Ontario Power Generation that will expand the province's nuclear capacity by some 6,000 megawatts. He talks about the reasons behind the move, the advantages of the CANDU reactor, and why Ontario has a “track record of kicking butt.” (Recorded July 7, 2023.)
The Bill Kelly Podcast: Ontario plans a massive expansion of the Bruce Power nuclear plant on Lake Huron, almost doubling its capacity by adding up to 4,800 megawatts of electricity production — enough to power almost five million homes. It would be the first major new construction of nuclear reactors in more than three decades and is rekindling debate over emission-free atomic power and its radioactive waste versus renewables like solar and wind power as the world decarbonizes in the fight against climate change. GUEST: Dr. Chris Keefer, President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy - Stellantis and LG Energy Solution have reached a new deal with the federal and Ontario governments for as much as $15-billion in subsidies for their electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor, bringing an end to a months-long saga in which the companies halted construction on the project while they pushed for greater financial backing. The agreement was announced by Stellantis late Wednesday afternoon through a press release. It was subsequently confirmed by Ottawa in a statement issued by Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Construction of the plant will resume immediately, according to Stellantis. GUEST: Marvin Ryder, Professor with the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University - A report about a conference in Toronto on Sikh terrorism was posted in May on the website of a now defunct Canadian-based think tank. The problem? There's no evidence the Star could find that the conference took place or that the listed speakers even exist. But multiple Indian news outlets picked up the report, treating it as news. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's national security adviser said in June that India is among the top sources of foreign interference in Canada, but experts say authorities have let India's activities fly “under the radar” and that it's time they paid closer attention to disinformation linked to Indian sources. Canada is home to the world's largest Sikh diaspora. GUEST: Dr. Robert Huish, Associate Professor with the Department of International Development Studies at Dalhousie University

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

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast w/ Guest Host Shiona Thompson: Canada will provide $970 million in financing to develop a grid-scale small modular reactor (SMR), a new nuclear technology touted as a key part of the country's plans to reduce emissions. The nuclear power project, which is being developed by utility Ontario Power Generation (OPG) in Darlington, will be the first commercial grid-scale SMR in the Group of Seven wealthy nations (G7), according to the minister's spokesperson. Is this the way of the future? GUEST: Dr. Chris Keefer, President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy - The Bank of Canada hiked its key interest rate by half of a percentage point today and said rates will need to rise further to clamp down on decades-high inflation. GUEST: Moshe Lander, Senior Economics Lecturer with Concordia University - Ontario Premier Doug Ford is legally challenging a request that he testify under oath before the Emergencies Act Inquiry — saying it would be “inconsistent” with parliamentary privilege to force him and his minister Sylvia Jones to appear. It's the latest push from Ford to reject the commission's attempts to have him speak before them after commission officials say the premier rebuffed multiple requests to speak with the inquiry dating back to Sept. 19. Why is he refusing to testify? GUEST: Michael Kempa, Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa

Chris Keefer is a Toronto-based medical doctor and president of Canadians for Nuclear Energy. In his fourth appearance on the podcast, (previous appearances were November 2021, May 2021 ) and April 29, 2022) Keefer talks about Ontario Power Generation's decision to reverse course and extend the life of the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station, a move that could keep the 3.1-gigawatt plant running for another 30 years, the essentiality of the Cobalt 60 isotopes that are produced by CANDU reactors, and why Ontario has “the most pro-nuclear government in the western world.” (Recorded September 30, 2022.)
Dr. Chris Keefer teamed up with Dr. Douglas Boreham, Professor and Division Head of Medical Sciences at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, to speak before residents in South Bruce, Ontario, the potential site of Canada's Deep Geological Repository for used nuclear fuel. The event, organized by the local grassroots group Willing to Listen, features presentations from each speaker followed by an open Q&A session.

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,

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.
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario's plan to replace electricity generation when an aging nuclear plant closes in 2025 has critics saying the province didn't get the memo on the growing dangers of climate change. Of six new contracts announced by the province's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) on Tuesday, four are for power to be generated by burning natural gas, while the other two — for wind and energy storage — account for less than 10 per cent of the 764 megawatts under contract. GUEST: Dr. Chris Keefer, President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy - Port delays, storage issues, rail capacity and a trucker shortage have all played a part in strain on the supply chain. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel or our consumers going to continue paying the price? GUEST: Marvin Ryder, Professor with the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University - Last week's reveal that the dismissal of beloved former CTV journalist Lisa LaFlamme from Bell Media was potentially related to her grey tresses has drawn a ton of criticism and debate. Now, Dove Canada has strangely issued its two cents. In an attempt to back LaFlamme, who over the pandemic decided to not colour her hair anymore, Dove Canada released a new campaign; half dragging Bell and half promoting their company.

Canada is home to several active nuclear power plants and is the second largest uranium producer in the world. Nuclear energy accounts for roughly 15 percent of the country's electricity production. In Ontario, it meets approximately 60 percent of the province's energy needs. While the popular image of nuclear power is conditioned by infamous historical events, some climate activists and industry professionals advocate it becoming a larger part of our plan to address climate change. So, we ask: How important is nuclear energy to a low-carbon future?On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Chris Keefer, ER doctor, founder and director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy, and host of the podcast Decouple.

Many years ago, before Dr. Keefer was a nuclear power-loving, techno-optimist physician, he was a self-described neo-luddite. He made his beliefs a reality by going back to the land in a big way. Finding the agricultural revolution too modern for his tastes, he took on the hunter gatherer life as a horse-wrangling hunter and dog mushing trapper in Canada's far northern Yukon Territory. Just in time for the holidays, Dylan Moon guides Dr. Keefer on a trip down memory lane to tell some entertaining stories around the proverbial campfire.

One of our most important issues in society today is the transition from fossil fuels to zero carbon emission sources. One of the keys of this transformation is to significantly increase the fraction of nuclear energy in our energy portfolio. Dr. Chris Keefer is an emergency physician, medical simulation educator, nuclear energy advocate and a popular podcaster. He is the President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy and the Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy and the host of the Decouple Podcast. He also has another honour –the first repeat guest on The Rational View! Since our first interview I've gotten to know Chris a lot better through Canadians for Nuclear Energy and he constantly amazes me with his energy and focus on nuclear advocacy. In this episode we discuss a new advocacy campaign called 'Tax the Gas'. Go to https://taxthegas.org to join this movement and ask the government to reverse the carbon tax exemptions for fossil fuel natural gas, and also to refurbish the Pickering nuclear plant which we will need to power our electric cars with negligible CO2 emissions.

Chris Keefer is a Toronto-based medical doctor, Director of Doctors for Nuclear Energy, and host of the Decouple podcast. In this episode, Robert talks to Keefer about the importance of radiation in medicine, decarbonization, why Ontario is “the France of North America,” and why in his view, Canada's 60,000 nuclear workers are “climate, clean air, and medical heroes.”
The Rational View episode 41 is an interview with Dr. Chris Keefer discussing the many benefits of nuclear power.

Dr. Chris Keefer Chris Keefer is the creator and host of the Decouple Podcast. He is an emergency room doctor whose activist bent and desire to make the world a better place has led him to become a nuclear energy proponent. Chris is the founder and a director of an organization called Doctors for Nuclear Energy. One of his biggest current efforts is serving as the co-director of #SavePickering, an initiative open to all who want to save and refurbish the Pickering nuclear power plant in his native Ontario. That plant is a 6 unit facility currently rated at just under 3 GWe. It is one of the primary tools enabling Ontario to have one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world, with almost no contributions from any fossil fuels. But it is currently scheduled to be closed. As is often the case in North America, most of Pickering's electricity production will be replaced by generators that burn natural gas. Chris and I chatted about our shared interests in nuclear energy, protecting nature and empowering humans to achieve greater prosperity. We agreed that increasing access to clean, reliable, abundant electricity is a key to achieving our goals. I think you will enjoy the show.

My name is Chris Keefer. I am an Emergency Physician concerned with fighting climate change and poverty. Join me on my journey into the frontiers of science, technology and politics as I explore solutions to the climate and poverty crises. I've moved from being a green environmentalist advocating degrowth and opposing new technology towards embracing technologies that can decouple human well being from its environmental impact and imagining the kind of politics and economic system necessary to pursue this goal. Welcome to Decouple. In this inaugaral episode Jesse Freeston and I dive deep into it all. Fasten your seatbelts and dive on in.
