"Becoming an electo-state would mean investing decisively in clean power, electrification, and industrial strategy, not as climate virtue signalling, but as hard-nosed geopolitics. The question is no longer whether the world will move beyond oil, but how far Canada is willing to be left behind."

Canada embarks on a new path to reduce reliance on the USA markets, and become resilient to both global market impacts and global warming. New #EV and #renewables initiatives will accomplish both over the next decade.

Clean energy drove more than a third of China’s GDP growth in 2025!

“Solar power, electric vehicles (EVs) and other clean-energy technologies drove more than a third of the growth in China’s economy in 2025 – and more than 90% of the rise in investment.”

But maintaining ancient #power plants is very expensive. Many #utilities across the country have spent the last several years slowly retiring their oldest & dirtiest #coal facilities, & replacing that energy with a mix of newer, low-cost options including #gas plants & #renewables.

“These are old plants,” said Michael Goggin, executive VP of #energy consulting group #Grid Strategies & the author of the recent report tallying the costs of coal plants. “They are no longer economic.”

EIA: 99%+ of new #US capacity in 2026 will be #solar, #wind + storage
The mix of all #renewables (wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal) produced 8.7% more #electricity in January-November than a year earlier and accounted for 25.7% of total US electricity production, up from 24.3% 12 months earlier.
In #2026, renewables and battery storage will account for 99.2% of net new capacity – and even higher if small-scale solar were included.

Technology Connections with one of the best videos I've ever seen making the case for renewable energy.

The really striking bit pointed out that if the land in the US currently being used for biofuels for cars was converted to solar panels and batteries and even if we neglected even more efficient land use like agrivoltaics, the USA could more than power itself (including EV cars) without impacting food production.
