A new nuclear reactor. A natural gas pipeline extension.
Thousands of offshore wind turbines. Atlantic provinces have
ambitious ideas to generate and transmit more energy across
Canada, all under one banner. As Prime Minister Mark Carney
renews his call for nation-building projects to strengthen the
Canadian economy, will this network of ideas, the Eastern Energy
Partnership, make the cut? And how realistic – and expensive –
are these plans?

CBC's provincial affairs reporter in New Brunswick Jacques
Poitras speaks to New Brunswick's premier and the federal
minister in charge of the Atlantic, Sean Fraser, as well as First
Nations leaders, experts and stakeholders about what it could
mean for power in eastern Canada for generations to come.
