The “just transition” report is nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada
Entitled “Creating a Fair and Equitable Energy Transformation,” the report outlines nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada, its economy and workforce, by way of transitioning away from fossil fuels to a largely electric economy, with the possibility of hydrogen usage as well. In doing so it means to largely do away with the fossil fuel industry which is one of Canada’s largest industries and contributors to GDP, exports and wealth. The report provides recommendations as to what to do with the people involved in that industry, but not so much the companies who employ them, create those jobs or that wealth.

Armando Cavanha, David Blackmon, Irina Slav and Tammy Nemeth go over many aspects of electrical grid security.

This podcast picks up on many of the issues Pipeline Online has been highlighting for the last 18 months.
Jim Warren: Freezing in the Dark, 2023 Version. How many Canadians do Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault anticipate the “just transition” will kill?
The hazards presented by disruptions to the reliability of the electrical power grid and our capacity to use natural gas to heat buildings, along with wild spikes in energy prices, go well beyond the threats of inconvenience and financial losses. These sorts of energy system failures also contribute to health problems. Freezing in the dark is not just the punch line from a 1970s bumper sticker.
