The inconvenient bottleneck forming between electric transport vehicles and their charging infrastructure

Heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, make up about 10% of all motor vehicles globally, but produce around 50% of their carbon dioxide emissions and over 70% of vehicle particulate pollution. Understandably, there has been excitement in the potential transition of heavy-duty vehicles off of diesel and towards a cleaner, electric operating system. And while striving for ambitious ESG targets in this (and every) industry is needed and supported, it is unlikely that electrical transport vehicles will carry this load in the near term for the three reasons in this article.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Alberta, along with Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, have all signed on to help further develop nuclear reactor technology in Canada. The goal of this program is to support the advancement and deployment of nuclear energy through small modular reactors (SMRs), a fresh, new technology that greatly differs from standard nuclear reactors, both in size, flexibility and overall safety.
