How do you power the places the grid forgot — and could nuclear be the answer?

In this episode, Stewart Muir is joined by Dr. Anthony Ciccone, Senior Vice President of the Global Nuclear Sector at WSP, to explore how small modular reactors could transform energy access in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.

From Canada’s Arctic to remote regions around the world, Ciccone explains why traditional energy solutions often fall short — and how advanced nuclear technologies are changing the equation.

They discuss:

• Why remote and northern communities still rely on diesel — and the risks involved
• How small modular reactors (SMRs) could provide reliable, low-carbon power
• Why nuclear and renewables are complementary, not competing technologies
• Canada’s advantage in nuclear innovation and reactor refurbishment
• The realities of nuclear waste — and how it’s managed
• The economics of nuclear energy and long-term cost considerations
• Energy needs of mining, military, and northern communities
• What the future of nuclear looks like in Canada and globally

This is a conversation about energy, infrastructure, and the realities of powering communities far beyond the grid.

At a time when energy security and sustainability are both critical priorities, nuclear is re-emerging as a practical solution — not just for cities, but for the most remote parts of the world.

The question is no longer whether nuclear is part of the future — but where it will be deployed first.

Is the world entering a new era of energy instability — and is Canada ready for it?

In this episode, Stewart Muir is joined by Robert (R.J.) Johnston, Director of Energy and Natural Resources Policy at the University of Calgary and former CEO of Eurasia Group, to unpack the geopolitical forces reshaping global energy markets.

From rising tensions in the Middle East to shifting U.S. policy and growing competition for critical resources, Johnston explains why energy security is once again at the center of global decision-making.

They discuss:

• Why global energy markets are becoming more unstable
• The changing role of the United States in global trade and energy
• Canada’s opportunity — and why it hasn’t been fully realized
• LNG, oil exports, and the importance of market diversification
• The impact of geopolitical conflict on energy security
• Critical minerals, AI, and the growing demand for resources like copper
• The future of energy transition and shifting climate priorities
• What business leaders are most concerned about right now

This is a conversation about energy, power, and uncertainty in a world where geopolitics and markets are increasingly intertwined.

At a time of global disruption — from Ukraine to the Persian Gulf — energy is no longer just an economic issue, but a strategic one.

The question is no longer whether the world needs reliable energy — but which countries are prepared to supply it.

What are investors actually seeing in today’s energy data — and what does it reveal about the future of oil markets?

In this episode, Stewart Muir speaks with Dane Gregoris, Energy Director at Enverus Intelligence Research, one of the leading energy analytics firms in the world.

Gregoris leads the oil and gas intelligence team at Enverus, where he works with vast datasets that help investors and companies understand the forces shaping global energy markets. From production trends to capital flows, he explains how data is increasingly driving decision-making across the energy sector.

They discuss:

• What current oil and gas production data is telling investors
• How energy analytics influence investment decisions
• Capital discipline and market signals in the energy sector
• Global energy demand and long-term market trends
• How companies interpret energy market intelligence
• What the latest data suggests about the future of oil and gas

This conversation explores how the energy industry reads the market — not through headlines, but through data.

At a time when energy debates are often driven by politics and speculation, understanding the underlying market signals has never been more important.

The real story of the energy market may not be in the headlines — but in the numbers.
