Policy Matters: Energy Policy in Nova Scotia
About this Event
Welcome to Policy Matters! The mission of this speaker series is to amplify public policy discussions, present new research, encourage research-informed policy, and provide a forum for the broader community to engage with the critical questions that shape our world today. Tonight's topic is Energy Policy in Nova Scotia: Offshore wind, oil crisis, and future technologies. We will be asking the question, “Is Nova Scotia prepared for the uncertain future of energy production?”
