Leading Canada's transition to clean energy. We are a donor-supported charity and think tank. Support our work ➡ http://pembina.org/donate
Canada’s clean-energy transition could create 350,000 new construction jobs every year for 25 years. A once-in-a-generation nation-building opportunity — if we prepare our workforce.

The #SustainableJobsActionPlan must put workers at the centre of Canada’s clean economy.

🚗 EV adoption isn’t just about cars—it’s also about oil.

The @iea.org’s #WEO2025 shows that the pace of transport electrification is the most significant factor in determining future oil demand.

Canada can lead the EV revolution—or watch others take the wheel. ➡️ www.iea.org/reports/worl...

There are nearly 80,000 inactive oil and gas wells in Alberta, many leaking methane for decades. Weak policies let companies walk away from the mess, leaving Albertans potentially on the hook.

Trump’s tariffs hurt, but Canada's bigger problem is an #EV supply chain without domestic demand.
