Clean energy isn’t a dependency — you buy the tech once and get decades of stable, low-cost power. Solar, wind, EVs and batteries are redefining energy security by replacing volatile fossil fuels with domestic, reliable tech. #CleanEnergy #EnergySecurity #SolarPower #WindEnergy

Energy Media’s analysis is clear: there’s no long-term business case for new pipelines. China — the key oil customer — is modeling a massive drop in demand, from over 17 million barrels a day to as low as 5.5 million by 2050.  #ChinaOil #EnergyTransition #AlbertaOil #PipelineDebate #CleanEnergy

China is electrifying everything. As oil demand collapses, even Saudi Arabia and Iraq will struggle — so what happens to Alberta’s oil? #ChinaEV #EnergyTransition #OilDemand #AlbertaOil #CleanEnergy #GlobalMarkets
