Where Quebec leads: Sophie Brochu in conversation with Linda Solomon Wood

Toss in a global pandemic, and Sophie Brochu, CEO of Hydro-Québec, is staring down three hulking adversaries in the dire struggle to move to clean energy.

Brochu spoke out vehemently against the TransCanada pipeline project. Now, leading Quebec’s most significant power supplier as climate change continues to necessitate a radically different approach to the global power grid, Sophie Brochu is betting on a new player: hydrogen power.

But climate advocates worry that fossil fuel-derived hydrogen figures too heavily into Canada’s hydrogen plan. Can the move to hydrogen be achieved without further dependence on oil and gas?

On Thursday, February 18, join Sophie Brochu as she forecasts the future of clean energy in Québec and Canada and more in a new Conversations event with host Linda Solomon Wood at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET.
