NEW from @ember-energy.org ➡️for the first time ever, wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in the EU.
Canada already gets 58% of its power from hydro, but we have huge, untapped wind and solar potential.
Renewables are the cheapest sources of power. Let's put them to work!

Knee‑jerk reactions to global events outside our control isn’t what Canada needs right now.
Alberta’s attempt to walk back the climate commitments it made in the MOU just a few weeks ago only prolongs uncertainty for investors.

To cut emissions, we need to tackle transportation. It’s the largest or second-largest source in most provinces, and second nationally. 🍁
Strong, predictable EV policies like the EV Availability Standard lower upfront costs, expand access and help deliver real emissions reductions.
