Canada’s Arctic has the potential to be just as developed as its circumpolar neighbours, but Ottawa needs to understand how best to help with the transition.
Big growth in wind and solar in 2022, but much more needed to hit feds’ climate goals, say renewable energy advocates
The Canadian Renewable Energy Association argues that a growth rate of five gigawatts of new wind and solar energy annually is needed for Canada to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Where will all the land come from?
Adding the land requirements for renewable energy, biodiversity conservation, less-intensive farming, and two billion trees equals 469,273 square kilometres or 72 per cent of the area of Manitoba. This is an immense area of land to be reallocated and is it even feasible? The lesson: Do the math.

Industry and corporate Canada have a critical role in fostering the elements of the coherent commercial ecosystem that enables the deployment of clean technology at scale.
Canada must be a leader in the race to net zero
Investing in becoming a global clean energy supplier of choice is Canada’s path to building a cleaner and more prosperous future.
