In today's episode of Why Alberta's Renewables Moratorium Makes No Sense, let's look at battery storage capacity in Canada.
Battery storage has risen 25x since 2016. Batteries are what makes wind and solar functional at scale.
ON has gotten the memo. Will AB come around?
Happy Monday.
We have important work to do. Let's get on with it.
So proud to be a part of this landmark lawsuit against the federal government over their climate plan.
Canada has climate targets but appears to be planning to fail.
This urgently needs to change.

I love this breakdown of potential economic scenarios, courtesy of @natehagens.bsky.social.
I know where I'd like to go, and we have the tools to get there.

It was a great pleasure to join colleagues from across the environmental sector, as well as MPs Patrick Bonin, Elizabeth May and Leah Gazan as part of a demonstration of cross-partisan opposition to new oil pipelines.
Alberta is about much, much more than oil and gas.
Great to see these polling results from (Alberta-based) @pembina.org.
6 in 10 don’t want taxpayer money to support a new oil pipeline, and 2 in 3 say AB's economy is too dependent on oil and gas.

The economics of renewables have shifted.
Battery storage is not only cheaper than gas plants - it's cheaper than battery storage was only a short while ago!
If you also consider the massive health benefits of clean energy, the case is crystal clear.

The thing about climate policy is that, unless and until the situation improves, every public leader must be rated on a sliding scale.

Focusing on natural gas will neither bring down electricity costs nor make Canada more energy-secure.

Six in 10 Albertans don’t want taxpayer money to support a new oil pipeline, and two-thirds say their province’s economy is too dependent on oil and gas, according to new polling released this morning...

Battery projects beat gas plants in Ontario's latest power auction as the province secured 640 megawatts (MW) of new storage capacity to help meet growing electricity demand.
