Ontario has a clean energy opportunity.

It could build a resilient, affordable energy future with wind and solar. Instead, the province plans to bet mostly on costly nuclear and gas generation.

Bringing renewables to a remote community involves a key decision: project size. The bigger the project, the more potential for diesel reduction – but it also means higher cost and complexity.

Remote communities are taking big steps toward #CleanEnergy – but continued progress depends on stable federal support.

With programs fully subscribed, the future is uncertain.

The Alberta‑Ottawa MOU is supposed to set the stage for strong industrial carbon pricing. Instead, Alberta’s recent regulatory changes risk flooding the credit market + undermining low-carbon investment.

Ottawa should take note of this bad‑faith move as climate talks begin 👇

Canada’s new methane regs are well-designed, but Alberta’s carve-out leaves the impact uncertain.

A 5-year delay risks 1.9M tonnes more methane in the atmosphere – that’s emissions equal to roughly half the cars on 🇨🇦 roads.
