Power Struggle Terry Etam: What Canada Gets Wrong on Energy
Terry Etam is one of Canada's most outspoken energy thinkers — a former insider turned straight-talking columnist, and the author of The End of Fossil Fuel Insanity. In this wide-ranging Power Struggle conversation with Stewart Muir, Etam lays out what he calls the “energy literacy” gap — the disconnect between public perception and the real-world complexities of energy.
He tackles the myths around pipelines and renewables, explains why the EV mandate misses the mark, and why Canada’s permitting system is broken. Etam calls for pragmatic policy, streamlined infrastructure approvals, and a renewed respect for the people and regions that power the country. From his prairie roots to a career across every corner of the industry, his message is simple: Canada’s future depends on facts, not fantasies.
Don’t miss this honest and urgent episode for anyone who cares about energy, economy, and how we keep the lights on.
The energy conversation is polarizing. But the reality is multidimensional. Get the full story with host Stewart Muir.
