The glorification of fracking and naturalgas as pillars of "dominance" ignores the glaring truth: methane, the primary component of "natural" gas, is a greenhouse gas 84 times more potent than CO2 over 20 years. Meanwhile, renewableenergy jobs now outnumber fossil fuel jobs nationwide and grow faster.
Nonetheless, potential policy changes in three areas could undercut new energy investment under a second Trump administration: protectionist trade measures and deglobalization; regulatory uncertainty and political risk; and fiscal and monetary policy.

The Premier of Alberta has a problem with renewableenergy. In August of 2023, Premier Smith imposed a seven-month industry-wide moratorium on new approvals for wind, solar, geothermal, and other forms of renewableenergy. The report said that “renewables pose little threat to Alberta’s agriculture and environment.”
Solarenergy production starts to dwindle by September. Solarpower peaks earlier in the summer when the days are longer. By September, the sun sets earlier in the evening, and solarpower production tapers off when people are still using substantial amounts of electricity in the evening. heat pumps !).
In order to make their portfolio more sustainable and respond to lower fossil fuel demand, oil majors are increasingly snapping up renewableenergy projects as the pressure grows to take action on climate change. BP and Total are also leading the way in terms of upcoming solarpower capacity.”. Wind and solar growth.
My last post argued that EPA should immediately repeal the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan. It attempted to move away from fossil fuels and toward zero-carbon sources like solarpower to supply electricity. Here are the options going forward for regulating existing power plants.
But rather than ramping up the use of polluting fossil gas, this is the perfect moment for the province to transition to clean and safe renewableenergy. Electricity nerds might be writing off the prospect of new gas plant contracts because of the forthcoming Federal Clean Electricity Regulations (CER).
