I look at the energy picture as a whole—energy demand across multiple sectors in terms of thermal energy and electricity energy—and one thing I tell my students and people when I talk to them is that no single technology will be able to meet the coming demands in a clean and reliable manner. It's going to take a mixture of large baseload generation, like hydro in Quebec and nuclear in Ontario, combined with battery storage and renewables. As renewables grow and battery storage grows to complement that, and as baseload continues to rise, I see opportunities across all of the energy sectors.
My expertise lies in nuclear. I'd say regarding export opportunities in nuclear that there's not only the big flashy sale of selling a reactor. We also have hundreds of companies in Canada in the nuclear supply chain that are globally integrated into builds and refurbishments around the world. The support for those companies is going to be key for ensuring their success as nuclear doubles or triples over the coming decades.
