Decouple

55

There are technologies that decouple human well-being from its ecological impacts. There are politics that enable these technologies. Join me as I interview world experts to uncover hope in this time of planetary crisis.

    Highly recommended: Rational, rigorously scientific
    Dr. Chris Keefer, MD has scientific training and practical experience which supports a pragmatic orientation to our human challenges. I have been personally moved by evidence toward eco-modern perspectives, from an earlier deep ecological idealism. When the feces hit the fan, reality dissolves mythology.

    Effective, empirical, genuine, honest, curious, practical… Dr. Chris Keefer is a model leader and communicator in the climate and energy space!

    Awesomeness
    As a part time nerd and engineering grad, this podcast is brain fuel. Personal favorite guest: Mark Nelson. Every time he is on, I can't stop thinking "I like this guy. I really like this guy." Highly recommend.

    Love it !!!
    Awesome love the in-depth conversation Thank you

    Meh,
    Some experts like Mark Nelson are first rate. Too often it swerves into political seething - we already know that liberals don’t allow much and conservatives don’t conserve much so don’t go there. I can get a vicarious sense of self-satisfaction anywhere. Also, this podcast does itself no favors by criticizing other alternative energy schemes. There is enough positive to say about nuclear and enough detail to cover in why these projects devastate their budgets and schedules and how that might be solved.

    Just so, so well done.
    I don’t know how I bumped into this podcast, but I am glad I did. So well done, so well researched. This is a very good example of passionately, researching, and patiently, trying to understand a very complex topic and then making good on that knowledge to the benefit of others.

    Enlightening & educational
    Before starting to listen to this podcast, I’d say I was leaning towards being pro-nuclear. Now having listened to about 40 shows, I’d put my house on it. I’m all in and I wish the policy makers would take a listen and enlighten themselves too

    Absolutely essential source for everything energy
    Clears the air when fogged up with Alternative Energy pipe dreams propped up by Corporate Media sound bites sized just right for 7th graders. You will not ‘get’ the significance of natrium nuclear reactors (as I did not) but your horizons will never be the same.

    Our future is nuclear
    I subscribe to several pro-nuclear podcasts . This is my favorite. Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Keefer.

    Truly Inspiring Journey
    Been a big fan from the early days of We CANDU It (I was hooked when I listened to the Paul Acchione interview.). Congratulations on saving Pickering!! As a wish list I’d love to see more interviews with: Mark P. Mills. Absolutely loved his 2 interviews. Been eagerly awaiting the next interview and him talking up his new book “The Cloud Revolution” Mark Nelson. Two mustaches are better than one? Jk. The Master Classes are GEMS!! John Constable. Mind blown. Clear and concise and a wonderful Orator. Final suggestion I hope you can reach out to Joshua Goldstein, writer of a “A Bright Future”. Oliver Stones new documentary “Nuclear” was inspired by Goldstein and he had a hand in the documentary. Keep up the good work!!

    Canadian version of Titans of Nuclear
    Lots of amazing interviews within Nuclear power space. Unfortunately there are also interviews with misinformation authors like Michael Shellinberger.

    Exceptional
    Your depth of knowledge on various subjects is only paralleled by the amazing variety of Insightful guests you bring on the show. Unsurprisingly, this results in thought-provoking discussions on a subject unfamiliar to many. Bravo!
  • Barryk108
    Brilliant host - brilliant guests
    Great resource for anyone who’s concerned about the challenges facing our society at large but also optimistic we can fix them. Dr Keefer has amazing guests from all across the vital infrastructure and projects to decarbonize our society as well as important agriculture information- great listen
  • stwhit
    Good topics, just introduce the guests
    The intro is kind of awkward, just introduce the guests, I dont really think that works. Otherwise, good topics and interesting
  • abigtoe
    A must-listen for anyone interested in climate fixes
    This is my favorite podcast among the pantheon of climate podcasts. I came because Dr. Keefer is pro-nuclear, and he does a great job talking about both the technical aspects and the political side. And not just from America. I highly recommend this podcast.
  • John Banchy
    Outstanding Podcast
    I subscribe to a dozen or so podcasts and listen to many others. This is my favorite podcast. Dr. Keefer asks good questions, does not interrupt his guests, and covers energy from a lightly technical, economic, and policy implication perspective. I learn something from every episode.
  • Ryan A Pickering
    The nuclear podcast for everyone
    As someone new to the nuclear power industry, this podcast has given me me the perspective I needed to get up to speed. While this podcast hosts nuclear experts, I have been impressed by Dr. Keefer’s ability to keep the conversations tethered to the real world. While I occasionally need to 30 second rewind in order to understand some of the dialogue, the content is exciting enough to make the active listening worth my time.

    Great perspective and great guests
    I really appreciate this podcast as it is actually working on finding a positive way forward rather than just more dark green doom and gloom. I am one of those “libertarian types” that Chris likes to disagree with, but I appreciate seeing another perspective from a smart guy. In spite of the politics, I agree with the thinking big, technology and innovation first approach that this podcast is full of. One of my favorite listens each week.

    Poised and Powerful
    Calm and collected discussions on the growing energy crisis with fact-based evidence supporting the need for nuclear to be realized as a safe, reliable, and powerful contributor to the solution.
  • MKULTRA83
    Great podcast
    Great podcast on important issues and real solutions.
  • Hawaiii Girl
    How can we make this go viral!
    I truly love listening to these episodes; each speaker has such unique perspectives to bring. I am SOLD on nuclear being the solution! Do you have books you’d recommend if you are starting to familiarize yourself with nuclear?
  • @ChknNugtDeepSt8
    Prometheanism Over Survivalism
    The best podcast about climate change and it’s technological and political challenges around. Run don’t walk to this one.
