Summer 2023 Lookback: From Nuclear to Oil to Renewables

Before you know it, summer is gone and its back to school!  Peter and Jackie look back on the energy headlines of summer 2023.   They start the podcast by discussing the new nuclear capacity announced in Ontario, with three additional small modular reactors (SMRs) announced and the potential for a significant expansion at the Bruce Power nuclear plant.  The excitement over room-temperature superconductors and another net-energy gain nuclear fusion reaction got their attention.  Next, a review of why oil prices rallied in July and the outlook for the supply-demand fundamentals for the remainder of the year. Finally, Peter and Jackie cover some additional news on the pause for new renewable energy permits in Alberta, as well as some feedback and clarification on the draft Clean Electricity Regulations.Content referenced on this podcast:·       Canada’s Draft Clean Electricity Regulation (released August 10, 2023) ·       The Alberta Government’s Frequently Asked Questions on the Renewables Inquiry and the Related Pause (August 25, 2023)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media:X (Twitter): @arcenergyinst LinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteSubscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple Podcasts Google Podcasts Amazon Music Spotify
