We are making it easier for Canadian drivers to charge their EVs by building a national charging network.
No matter where you are in Canada, charging your car should be as simple as filling your gas tank.

So much #nuclear PR these days. Yet Over the past decade #renewables generation tripled that of nuclear. By the end of decade renewables will out-generate nuclear by factor of 5 - 7.

Another miserable year for nuclear power as renewables surge
Despite the hype from the nuclear industry and its boosters, the latest status report shows that its renaissance remains a mirage, and reactor numbers are falling.

If we also banned gas stations from posting prices on giant signs visible to speeding drivers on the street, then maybe our politics wouldn't revolve around lowering gas prices?

France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, and one Italian city has plans to do the same.”

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

John Turner correctly warned Canadians about the consequences of free trade with the U.S. #cdnpoli
His concerns were rejected by Canadian voters at the time, and his political career never recovered.
