Episode Details

In 2025, wind and solar met all new global electricity demand, leaving no room for additional fossil fuels. Solar surged by 30% and paired with wind to maintain the lead. Clean energy sources are becoming cheaper and more accessible, with solar and wind set to surpass nuclear globally this year. Battery storage costs have also dropped by 45%, making it easier to store energy for when the sun sets or wind slows down. However, Canada lags behind the G7 average in solar and wind energy, with only 8.9% of its power coming from these sources. While Canadas grid is one of the cleanest due to hydroelectric power, droughts have shown the limitations of relying on it. Provinces are taking action, with Ontario, Quebec, and B.C. approving large-scale solar and wind projects. The federal government aims to have all non-emitting power by 2050, and PM Carney wants to double clean capacity soon. The good news is that solar projects can be built in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional plants, giving Canada the opportunity to catch up quickly and power the future with clean energy.
