John Gorman believes in a nuclear future which, given his background, might come as a surprise. Before becoming president and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Association, Gorman worked in positions where he championed solar, wind and hydro, renewable energy sources with a lot less baggage.
But make no mistake, Gorman views the ongoing development of nuclear power as vital to battling the climate crisis and lowering Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. Many other environmentalists reject nuclear over concerns about the disposal of nuclear waste, radioactive fallout and the length of time it might take to develop the technology. Not Gorman.
