Peak Oil! Carney, Cash, and Carbon
CANADALAND
Energy security favors domestic renewables
Max predicts nations will prefer homegrown renewables over imported fossil fuels for security.
Gas prices are back in the news as the Iran War disrupts global oil supply. Columnists are weighing in on what it all means for Canada’s energy future. With Carney’s commitment to making Canada an energy superpower, do we barrel forward with increased oil production or renew our commitment to renewables?
Max Fawcett of Canada’s National Observer joins San Grewal to drill beneath the headlines.
