A defining feature of the ongoing federal election campaign has been the apparent marginalization of the environment and climate change as top-of-mind issues due to threats by the United States against Canadian sovereignty, security and trade.

Over the next decade, just over 180 oil and gas companies in Canada plan to collectively spend more than $600 billion developing new oil and gas fields, according to data reviewed by Canada’s National Observer.

As Trump uses fossil fuel markets as an instrument of aggression and coercion against Canada, we must learn from the EU and quickly reduce our dependence on fossil fuel markets.

Clean electricity saw big gains this year.

New rules to transition Canada's power grids to be clean by 2035 have been significantly watered down, allowing fossil fuels to stay on the grid for decades to come thanks to freshly introduced loopholes — a trade off for reliability feds say.

In rich nations, just a fraction of e-waste is mined for critical metals. We’re going to have to up our game.

Amazon on Wednesday said that it was investing in small nuclear reactors, coming just two days after a similar announcement by Google, as both tech giants seek new sources of carbon-free electricity to meet surging demand from data centers and artificial intelligence.

Microsoft’s deal to bring back a Three Mile Island nuclear reactor is just one part of Big Tech’s quid pro quo with nuclear power.

The US and the UK among countries with low dependence on fossil fuels criticized for ‘hypocrisy’ on climate pledges

Canadian oil and gas companies facing a federally imposed emissions cap will decide to cut their production rather than invest in too-expensive carbon capture and storage technology, a new report by Deloitte says.

Half of all new cars are now SUVs, and even though approximately 20 per cent of them are hybrid or electric vehicles, rising emissions from the vehicles have been cited for causing as much as a fifth of the increase in global carbon dioxide emissions.

Canada's energy minister is defending carbon capture and storage technology as both effective and affordable, after an Alberta power company walked away from a planned project and a study found that another project got public subsidies to cover more than three-quarters of its costs.

Such a summit would have been unthinkable a dozen years ago in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, but a warming planet creating a need to phase out fossil fuels and war in Ukraine laying bare a dependence on Russian energy have turned the tables over the past half decade.

Experts say the world is "past peak fossil power" but warn against uneven development of energy projects.

The world's renewable energy grew at its fastest rate in the past 25 years in 2023, the International Energy Agency reported on Thursday in its first assessment since nations agreed in December on ambitious new targets to slow dangerous climate change.
