The bad: they still satisfy only seven per cent of the world’s energy demand
Author: Denise Mullen
I have many years experience in natural resource management including working with all levels of government, a variety of stakeholders and First Nations in the n the development of policy, legislation and strategy and the review and permitting of major projects. I have held senior positions in public, private and non-profit sectors. I understand the need for and importance of including various voices, good data, and sound analysis in decision making.
Federal Clean Fuel Standard is all smoke and mirrors
As proposed, the CFS will do little to reduce GHG emissions, will hike the cost of energy and undermine Canadian energy security
The unintended consequences of ‘clean and green’
There is no carbon-free energy Valhalla. The environmental impacts of going ‘clean and green’ could be worse than using fossil fuels
Canada’s economic revival requires broad strategy
A narrow focus on the green/clean sector won’t get the job done. The sector is too small and the workforce’s skill set doesn’t suit the goals
B.C.’s emissions reduction targets remain out of reach
Absent a wholesale restructuring of the economy, meeting the 2030 goal will be an impossible task
How the world can best meet rising demand for electricity
Natural gas has a big role to play in getting to a lower carbon future and allows Canada to contribute to efforts to cut GHG emissions
Is the low-carbon future upon us now?
Without major technological breakthroughs, the costs of moving quickly to a far less carbon-intensive economy are painfully high
Baby steps toward restarting our economy
Austria, Denmark and Germany have begun to unfreeze sectors. And Saskatchewan has laid out a cautious four-phase approach
Canada well placed to meet world’s growing energy demands
Compared to most other major oil and gas exporting nations, Canada clearly ranks as a responsible supplier
B.C. won’t be able to quit fossil fuels any time soon
The results of greater energy efficiency will materialize over the long term, even if politicians seek abbreviated timelines
