Below is a recent podcast with the Chair of the Canadian Climate Institute, Peter Nicholson.   A new report called “Catching the Wind” from the Public Policy Forum outlines how Atlantic Canada can become an energy superpower by harnessing offshore wind. On this episode of the Insights Podcast we talk with Peter Nicholson, the Chair of the Canadian Climate Institute and author of the report about the opportunity to harness the winds for environmental and economic benefit. Peter has had a distinguished career in both the private and public sectors and makes a compelling case that the region has a generational opportunity to be a net exporter of green energy to the rest of the country that will transform the economy of the region and generate the same kind of economic benefits for the region that Alberta has enjoyed form their oil and gas industry. He outlines the challenges associated with realizing this opportunity, including the substantial capital investment required. He also emphasizes that addressing climate change requires bold vision and audacity to seize the potential of offshore wind in particular.As you close out the year, and celebrate the New Year, we hope you enjoy the listening to some of our other top podcasts of 2023.Glenn Cooke Discusses How Cooke Inc Has Quietly Become The Largest Privately Owned Seafood Company In The WorldJim Irving Discusses The Importance Of The Forestry Sector For The Future Of New BrunswickDiscussion With Minister Arlene Dunn On The Growing Population And Job Vacancies In NBPhil Fraser, CEO Of Killam Properties, Tells The Story Of Atlantic Canada’s Largest LandlordBernard Lord Discusses How Medavie Is Changing Health Delivery In CanadaA $10-Billion Opportunity To Mine Manganese In New BrunswickHow Jacques Dube Really Feels About Your Tax BillThe Entrepreneur Fighting To Dismantle P.E.I.'s Development...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Qbt-2HrhbYq7Ox7OKYry12n8LuOfhk_xQajlUubbT2c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5OTAxLzE3MDE3/MTkzMDItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
