Lecture Details

As a resource hungry world turns its gaze to the Arctic, Canada’s economic activity and military presence are both poised for rapid expansion. But with extended periods of total darkness and freezing temperatures, where will the prodigious amounts of energy needed to power this future come from? In this lecture we’ll learn the ins and outs of powering our remote Arctic.

Lecturer: Peter Lang

Peter Lang spent 40 years in aviation as a higharctic frontier pilot, RCAF fighter pilot, and now retired airline captain. In 2008 he founded Dunedin Energy Systems to explore energy alternatives for Arctic Canada. He is now leading the development of a micronuclear power plant designed to meet the growing electricity and heating needs of Canada’s arctic communities and military facilities.
