“Despite our oft-stated dream of becoming an ‘energy superpower,’ we Canadians seem oblivious to the monumental changes in how the world is buying and using energy.
Like generals fighting the last war, our national debate is still dominated by fossil fuel exports.”

Saskatchewan would rather spend billions on refurbishing coal plants than switch to solar (with battery storage).
Did you hear the news? Solar power has officially overtaken coal in Texas! 🌞 This milestone is a big step for the #RenewableEnergyTransition and shows how far we’ve come in the fight against climate change.
Staying informed about clean energy developments is key. By subscribing to newsletters, you can learn about new technologies and initiatives that support a sustainable future. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/solar-overtakes-coal-texas-first
Exciting news for Texas! By 2026, utility-scale solar power is set to surpass coal generation, hitting 78,000 GWh compared to coal's 60,000 GWh.
With 14 GW of new solar capacity on the way, Texas is becoming a leader in the #RenewableEnergyTransition. Plus, significant battery storage plans will help stabilize the grid as renewables grow.
By early 2027, solar and wind could make up over 20% of U.S. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/16/pv-power-generation-to-surpass-coal-in-texas/
Great news for the #RenewableEnergyTransition! 🌞 Energy Minister Chris Bowen announced that Australia has surpassed 400,000 home battery installations in just over 10 months.
These batteries are not only lowering electricity prices but also reducing reliance on gas and coal at night. https://reneweconomy.com.au/remarkable-milestone-bowen-says-home-battery-installations-continue-to-surge-pass-400000/
🚀 Exciting developments in sustainable transportation!
Here are a few key signals to watch:
🔋 The rollout of hydropower-backed EV charging stations is gaining momentum.
🚢 Green shipping corridors are being established from Norwegian ports.
🚛 Hydrogen heavy-transport pilots are starting to scale up, paving the way for cleaner logistics.
These initiatives are crucial for the #RenewableEnergyTransition and a greener future. Let’s keep an eye on how they evolve!
