Climate policy is economic policy
An energy vision for Canada that includes achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is needed to shape our actions, policies, and investments.
Urgent: ambitious methane emissions reduction needed
Meeting our methane targets is an important prerequisite for Canada’s international competitiveness.
Canada can’t move forward without Indigenous-led solutions
No serious national strategy—be it economic, environmental, or geopolitical—can succeed without Indigenous leadership, co-ownership, and shared decision-making power.
Renewable Energy
Engineers help drive innovation in Canada’s car industry
As the industry continues to evolve, engineers are increasingly focused on economic and ecological efficiency, driving the design of lighter, more sustainable vehicles.
Nuclear power and the engineers behind it are vital to Canada’s clean energy future
Canada is facing a shortage of skilled workers—including in engineering—underscoring the need for greater investments in engineering programs to attract and retain students.
Transforming the electricity system should begin with proven technologies
To further the electrical grid renewal and decarbonization there are some ‘low-hanging fruit’ initiatives that would indicate at least an attempt to progress toward a low carbon electrical grid.
How Canada can crush decarbonization goals, create millions of jobs, and rake in a boatload of cash from America in one fell swoop
If Canada got aggressive with agrivoltaics we would have more healthy food for our tables, more income for our farmers, more solar jobs, lower electricity costs, less carbon pollution and the sweet satisfaction of helping our southern neighbours.
Amid rapid global growth, renewable energy’s Canadian future remains uncertain
In Canada, the defining feature of renewable energy development has been profound instability. Over the past two decades, activity in the sector has alternated between periods of rapid growth and screeching halts.
Energy Minister Hodgson has experience with moving big projects, but some sector experts question plans to build up conventional energy alongside renewables
In the Throne Speech, King Charles III promised development of a Major Federal Project Office to reduce approvals timelines for nationally significant projects from five years to two.
