Episode Details

Manitoba Hydro’s $3 billion plan to build gas turbines in Brandon threatens decades of fossil fuel dependence, with doctors sounding the alarm over deadly air pollution, climate-driven health crises, and disproportionate harm to kids, seniors, and low-income communities—especially since the plant sits just two kilometers from 50,000 residents. While Hydro claims minimal usage, climate change makes that unreliable; these plants will likely run more during extreme heat and droughts. Better alternatives exist: Ontario, BC, and Quebec are already investing in batteries, wind, and solar—Manitoba could redirect those funds to clean energy and protect public health for generations.
