Coal-to-gas switching is cited as a way LNG can reduce emissions. But “the price necessary to displace coal would severely damage the business case for new Canadian projects. And as prices for renewables have plummeted, buyers have cheaper, cleaner and local options to replace coal.”

Will Greaves is a courageous Liberal climate champion. In response to Natural Resources Min. Hodgson's claim that Canada's LNG is a "clean" energy source, he stated, "Cite your sources, minister,” adding, that our current climate policy has dissociated itself from climate entirely

The high-end scenario would effectively und the past 15 years of emissions reductions in Canada. "But even If a tenth of these fossil-fuelled data centres were to be built, the increase in Canada’s emissions would be noticeable and substantial."

A majority (61%) of Albertans say they do not want taxpayer money to be used for a new pipeline, with even more (67%) saying they think the province’s economy is too dependent on the oil and gas sector. More support than oppose federal action on climate if AB isn't doing enough.

"Competition is starting to have an impact, which is good for the consumer," said Daniel Breton, CEO of Electric Mobility Canada. He expects more Chinese-made EVs arriving in Canada to put downward pressure on prices. He has already seen the price of vehicles like Chevy Bolt fall.

A similar game-changing move by China 25 yrs ago in solar led to a major price decline that set the stage for the huge global solar deployment we see today. Batteries are poised to make electricity grids affordable, resilient and clean. China's solar majors charge into batteries buff.ly/z36SH4M

Canada risks a future where the world economy has passed us by. Taxpayer dollars should not be spent subsidizing oil&gas infrastructure that could become stranded assets. Government should concentrate on what’s best for all Canadians - EVs, heat pumps and low-cost renewables.

Any reductions achieved may not be large enough to offset a new pipeline, which would add an output of 1.4 million barrels of oil per day and "ultimately" keep emissions on a "high trajectory through the middle of the century," the report states.

Great illustration by Ember of the potential of energy storage to avoid the costs of current (and future) energy shocks.

According to Calgary's mayor, "I’m fully supportive to continue our investment and action on climate, but I don’t think it’s more performance that’s required at this point." He said this following Council's "action" of cutting $9 million in climate funding.

It has not yet attracted the many billions in private investment needed. This deep shortfall, along with numerous other hurdles along the way, raises the likelihood the federal government becomes the investor of last resort, putting Canadians on the hook. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Europe’s energy dependence increasingly complicates the task of maintaining price stability. Meeting the continent’s clean‑energy targets would weaken the link between volatile global markets and domestic prices. Crucially, the tools to make this transition are already within reach.
