Episode 02 - How will Saskatchewan lead the energy transition?

Do you ever think about where your power comes from when you turn on your lights?
The world is looking for new sources of energy - but the global energy transition won't happen with the flick of a switch. The research and the resources has to come from somewhere, and Saskatchewan is home to both.
On this episode we explore how the energy transition will take shape, the future of critical minerals and nuclear power - and the role both Saskatchewan and Canada will play.
