Small Modular Reactors vs. Renewables: Which Is More Cost-Effective?
The global energy transition is unfolding at a critical moment. Nations are under mounting pressure to meet rising electricity demand while cutting emissions and keeping costs manageable. The debate often centers on two very different approaches: renewables, like solar and wind, versus nuclear’s new frontier – Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Each has unique strengths, risks, and cost profiles, making the choice a pivotal one.
High-tech Nature-inspired Solutions for Urban Cooling
It’s getting hotter in Canadian cities. With increasingly dangerous heat, the next frontier in urban cooling must move beyond trees and parks. Innovative technologies and design strategies are merging with natural systems to create holistic solutions for the urban heat island effect.
Green Infrastructure Fights Urban Heat in Canadian Cities
Canadian cities face rising temperatures as climate change intensifies the urban heat island effect. Built-up areas, full of concrete, asphalt, and steel, heat up far more than surrounding rural landscapes.
