What Does a Just Transition Look Like?

Dan Campbell, a licensed nuclear operator, reflects on losing his
job at the coal-fired Nanticoke Generating Station during
Ontario's coal phaseout and his subsequent move to the Bruce
Nuclear Generating Station. As we discuss the elusive "just
transition," Dan shares a unique inside perspective on the
possibilities for transitioning fossil fuel workers to new,
high-quality jobs; the importance of considering working people
when deciding on energy policy; and how it felt taking pride in
his work at Nanticoke while learning of the harms that coal
causes through air pollution and carbon emissions.


Hang on to the very end of the episode for an extra treat. In yet
another first for Decouple we have the honour of premiering Dan's
band latest single called "Town Line." Enjoy and keep an eye out
