This is an excellent article that everyone interested in climate and energy should read. In it, @dion_jason and @bcshaffer show how to apply creativity and innovation to policy so that it will set us up for net-zero success.

Local governments are sitting in the driver's seat on Canada's energy system evolution. Join me at Energy Nexus 2022 on April 28th to hear municipal perspectives on integrating natural gas and renewable natural gas to meet energy and emissions goals. bit.ly/3vnrUw7

Enough of the political accusations on both sides. You were elected to lead this country and we expect you to do just that. In case you have forgotten the 4 L’s of leadership are - Love, Listen, Learn and Lead… apple.news/AjnrjPNAORgOAYlmW…

As we forge ahead down the path to net-zero, it is increasingly obvious that our current energy system structure is challenged to embrace innovative solutions - case in point the proposed system access charges in Nova Scotia bit.ly/3ghRoCw 1/3

Now postponed for 1 yr, it is important to note that this is not the fault of the utility. It is that the system wasn't and still isn't designed in a way that enables innovation, the integration of distributed energy resources, and prioritizes equitable participation. 2/3

Solutions lie in aligned energy policy & planning that includes local perspectives. New governance & institutional structures that serve our needs. Changing how we make energy decisions. And above all in solutions-oriented, meaningful, and effective multisectoral engagement. 3/3

Great to hear @IESO_Tweets’ Carla Nell speak to the important role of #communities in electricity planning and a request by the IESO for ON communities to engage and share their #communityenergyplan with them.

Communities across Ontario are at the heart of a quickly evolving electricity system.
IESO VP Carla Y. Nell spoke at #ROMA2022 about the province's growing energy needs, decarbonization efforts, innovative projects, and how communities can get involved. youtube.com/watch?v=tqgxyM9J…

Ending work thought for today; we’d wouldn’t need this debate over the project based CCUS tax credit if the OBPS were on a solid trajectory to -95% decarb by 2050, full coverage, no exemptions, w/ some key product border charges (imports) & rebates (exports) @maxfawcett @lev_jf

I completely agree that we need to focus on "rewriting outdated regulatory, legal, and financial frameworks" if we are going to meet our net-zero goals. climatechoices.ca/publicatio…

Not just for local governments, our Net-Zero Community Accelerator EOI is open to local energy distributors, Indigenous groups, or not-for-profit organizations that would like to work with a local government or group of local governments.
Deadline for submission is October 17th.

What I want to know before I register my vote... how the parties will engage Canadian's & communities to achieve net-zero.
We have modelled net-zero from the top-down and with a technology-only perspective but models do not make investments or purchases - people do...
