Canada’s budget missed a big inflation-fighting measure: energy efficiency
Without greater efficiency in how we consume energy, federal support for riskier ‘clean’ energy will not only fail to deliver big emission reductions, but could also turn good intentions into a Trojan Horse for further inflation.
A sinking ship: don’t be fossil fooled by LNG
LNG distracts Canada from a zero-emissions future, jeopardizing its commitments to a cleaner, prosperous economy.
Leaks show releasing oilsands waters into the Athabasca River is not the best solution for tailings ponds
The uncertainty of health and safety causes immense stress on a community already dealing with intergenerational trauma and lack of support.
Fossil fuel industry still selling ‘a pig in a poke’ while continuing to reap absurd riches: McElroy
Re: “Will governments or markets drive Canada’s energy transition?” (The Hill Times, March 22, 2023). The UN has spoken: we must act urgently to do everything humanly possible to avoid a catastrophic future climate our children may not survive. The recently released IPCC report called emphatically for dramatic action to stop destructive climate change. It isn’t a […]
New energy era, new rules needed to develop responsible projects
We cannot be as irresponsible with critical minerals as we have been with fossil fuels.
ZEV sales targets must ride alongside infrastructure commitments
It’s clear that investments supporting increased activity in the construction and building trades yields significant dividends for other sectors of the economy.
Imperial Oil to answer questions at House Environment Committee about tailings pond leaks, but Alberta regulator waiting for invitation
Indigenous communities along the Athabasca River are looking for federal intervention after an oilsands company and its Alberta regulator withheld information on tailings leaks for nine months.
Electric vehicles: one part of an energy transition to mitigate climate change
Regardless of where decarbonized electricity comes from, our current electricity grids cannot support the electrification of vehicles without major upgrades and increases to electricity supply.
All hands on deck required in the transformation to electric mobility
Rather than pursuing outdated and redundant regulations, Canada needs to address the well-documented barriers to electrification.
Implementing ZEV sales mandates is part of a larger climate goal
The goal of reducing emissions should not eclipse other environmental considerations that are just as important for nature and Canadians.
