Energy Transition 101: A New Industrial Policy for Alberta - Environmental Defence An analysis of how Alberta can build and become renewable energy superpower - bringing economic opportunity and protecting the climate.

Here are a few thoughts on the #energytransition in #Alberta: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/08/29/e.... We need to start having the tough conversation about how Alberta is going to pay the bills when the world transitions away from oil and gas. Its happening, so we'd better get cracking.

Lets stop trusting these bastards to have anything but their own self interest in mind.

EU Gas Demand Still Set to Fall as Canada Touts LNG Exports to Germany in ‘as Little as Five Years’ The Carney government is pitching major new investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Germany despite continuing projections that gas demand across the European Union will continue to fall...

If Canada pursues LNG exports to Germany and the EU. In that case, it will only suppress the price of LNG further as the anticipated glut of the carbon-intensive product collides with stagnating consumer demand. Canada: always trying to sell yesterday's energy. www.theenergymix.com/breaking-can...

No rush on new crude oil pipelines, Trans Mountain chief executive says | CBC News Mark Maki said there should be ample pipeline space to get Canadian crude oil to market until at least 2030, without the need for a new project.

Alberta covered $150M in oil and gas companies’ unpaid rent | The Narwhal Issue of oil and gas companies’ unpaid rent in Alberta is ‘intertwined’ with unpaid municipal taxes, cleanup bills: law professor

Over the last 25 years, Alberta taxpayers have paid nearly $150 million in rent to landowners for delinquent, insolvent, and under-managed oil and gas companies, according to the Narwal. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oil-.... I wonder how many solar and wind projects the GOA has bailed out?

Ontario Government Plans to Give Parts of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park to Developers - Environmental Defence The Government of Ontario plans to sell parts of the park worth tens of millions of dollars to developers. This represents almost one third of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.

When the Barhead Leader reports "Last year, 74% of the growth in electricity generated worldwide was from wind, solar and other green sources" and "92.5% of all new electricity capacity added to the grid worldwide in that time period came from renewables," the energy transition is underway.

The Pipeline Reality Check Part 1 - Environmental Defence Why Alberta's Pipeline Dreams Don't Match Market Reality You can't transition to the future if you're living in the past. Premier Smith is living squarely

Premier Smith is living squarely in an Alberta that barely exists today. Pushing for another pipeline to tidewater is akin to building a bridge to nowhere. #ABPOLI #pipelines #PremierSmith #energytransition

Imagine if you will, if the oil
Companies and Danielle Smith think it’s hard to get a Poole line to tidewater now, how much harder it will be if we had to cross another country to do so. Don’t really think about that, did ya?

Dear #Jasper. Don’t you dare apologize to Premier Smith. The next thing you know she’ll be telling you to rake the forest.

Oriana Power Ink MoU to Explore and Develop Renewable Energy Oriana Power Limited, a prominent player in the renewable energy sector, announces that it has entered a Memorandum of Understanding with Invest Alberta.

TVP, a Polish news station, breaks the news that solar power is the number one source of electricity in Europe. Dear Dinosaurs (read, Oil and Gas companies), that asteroid really does look like it's getting closer.

What the Floods in Texas Tell Us About Climate Change “Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk," writes Katharine Hayhoe.

The Town of Jasper has finalized a Disaster Plan to safeguard the community from future floods and wildfires. This is smart and forward looking in the face of climate change. Now we need PM Carney to show support by protecting the emissions cap.

It's starting to look like Danielle Smith is Lucy, and Mark Carney is Charlie Brown. The football is Alberta's approval that will always be yanked away, regardless of how the PM looks in a big hat, and how many oil and LNG pipelines he approves.

A lot of folks in Canada seem to be hoping that PM Carney is playing a sophisticated game of 3D chess on pipelines and the climate, when in fact I think this is checkers.

Everything but the kitchen sink — and no renewable energy —is Premier Smith's approach to future energy projects. Now the Premier is holding consultations on nuclear power. If only there was a cheap, clean, abundant source of energy in Alberta. #windandsun #renewableenergy #cleanandgreen
