VIDEO - Greenhouses in northern climates like Canada that rely on fossil fuels to stay warm often struggle to keep up in the highly competitive food industry.However, Sadru Nazarali sees Passive Solar Greenhouses as a game-changer for food production in northern countries, potentially transforming how we grow food and ensuring we have enough to eat.He's part of a group called Egertonians and Friends, and they took us on a tour of the passive solar greenhouses at Fresh Pal Farms in southern Alberta.His group is bringing six pilot-scale passive solar greenhouses to Canada and four to Pakistan to help demonstrate and teach local food production. In a crazy, chaotic world, the idea could help northern nations create food security and increase the availability of fresh local food.We toured a large passive solar greenhouse and learn why this is such a game-changer. Even a small 36,000 sq. foot greenhouse in Alberta will pay up to $10,000 in a month for its gas bill.Passive solar eliminates most of the energy use and makes the production of food much more affordable and competitive.🟢 BLOG - https://greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/437-passive-solar-greenhouses-secret-food-security-northern-climates#greenhouse #passive solar #local food #food security #healthy food

E-REVs could be obsolete before they hit the showrooms, says Simon Lindley. Our full interview with Simon Lindley of the Trucked Up EVs YouTube Channel on the future of EVS in America.US automakers retreated from EVs along with that nation's retreat to fossil fuels - but the move will only serve to take the American automakers out of the future of automobiles, says Lindley.They pivoted to E-REVs (Extended Range EVS) as the answer to EV price and range anxiety. But lower-priced, longer-range EVs are already hitting the market, and when combined with battery price drops and innovation elsewhere, the future of E-REVs may be doomed.GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA Podcast FULL INTERVIEW#EV #electricvehicles #solidstate #batteries

Simon Lindley from the Trucked Up EVs YouTube Channel suggests that E-REVS might not be around when they finally make it to the showrooms.Extended Range EVs were once thought to be the perfect fix for the high cost and range worries of EVs, but with new tech and battery prices coming down, along with other EV advancements, they might become outdated before they arrive.GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA PodcastVIDEO FULL INTERVIEW - https://youtu.be/YMx_3NSmdGI#EV #electricvehicles #EREV #pluginhybrids #electric

We are excited to announce that Green Energy Futures is heading out on tour to bring back stories of some of Canada's best net-zero home builders.We're calling the series Chasing Net Zero, which we are doing in collaboration with the Canadian Home Builders Association Net Zero Labelling program, which launched in 2016.Pioneering home builders have been working on net-zero homes since the mid-2000s, but the CHBA realized what was needed was a program to define and label these homes as net-zero or net-zero ready to help builders and consumers alike.Today, the idea is taking off with 365 builders, energy advisors, and retrofitters involved in the program having built more than 3,700 net-zero homes.We talk to Sonja Winkemann and Colin Bayne of the CHBA Net Zero Labelling program to find out what a net-zero home is and how it all works.We have already begun filming stories on some amazing home builders such as Doug Tarry Homes in St. Thomas, Ontario, Land Ark Homes in West Port, Ontario, and Avalon Master Builders in Calgary, Alberta. There are many more to come in the series, which begins in May 6, 2026.Get ready to be inspired and see the future of housing being built today.🟢 YOUTUBE: Chasing Net Zero Series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLBLbJXjojqZ-c_voZoMqSbQqlqP7Oel7&si=69Gw-jDvGzXi6RR7✅ BLOG: GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ CHBA Net Zero: chba.ca/net-zero✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c💙BLUE SKY - https://bsky.app/profile/greenenergyfutures.bsky.social▶️ LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-dodge-01325128/▶️ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/greenenergyfutures▶️ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/greenenergyfuture/▶️ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/greenenergyfutures/?hl=en

Instead of saying ban fossil fuels tomorrow, what if by using a small amount of flexible gas we could get to 96% clean energy?This is the thrust of Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset. Today, we talk to Anders Lindberg of Wärtsilä out of Finland, which makes flexible gas power plants.In one example, their models show you could replace 30% coal generation with just 12% flexible gas capacity, use it only 4% of the time and achive 96% clean energy and radically lower emissions.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

Understanding the proposed MOU between Alberta and Ottawa on energy and climate means diving into the shell games surrounding industrial carbon pricing - we dive in.There is a lot at stake here - Alberta wants less red tape for oil and gas, and Canada wants action on climate change. We talk to Janetta McKenzie, director of oil and gas at the Pembina Institute, to understand what the real price of industrial carbon is and why it matters. Pembina says there is $40 billion of investment in low-carbon investments that could be unleashed if they get it right.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

SkyFire Energy, one of Alberta's oldest solar companies, just acquired Hakai Energy Solutions, diversifying its markets into Coastal British Columbia. The move also adds battery storage expertise and off-grid experience to their offerings.The move comes as utility-scale solar in Alberta has collapsed under the weight of a moratorium, policies hostile to large-scale renewables, and high levels of market uncertainty. At 25 years old, SkyFire is used to the ups and downs of the industry and has, from day one, focused on a diversified focus on home, commercial, and utility-scale solar. And they have slowly diversified their geographic markets as well.We talk to SkyFire CEO David Vonesch about the acquisition and the company's diversified approach. Apparently, rooftop and commercial solar is still growing quickly in Alberta, but utility-scale projects have all but vanished.Billions of investment have vanished from Alberta too, moving to markets like British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

Alberta's hostile treatment of the renewable energy industry has resulted in nearly 15 gigawatts of projects worth billions of dollars vanishing into thin air. In just a few years before the province's moratorium and subsequent policy changes, Alberta benefited from $6 billion in investment in renewable energy, 6,000 jobs, and $74 million in new tax revenue to cash-starved municipalities.We talk to Jorden Dye of the Business Renewables Centre Canada, an organization that tracks investments in Power Purchase Agreements with the industry.

But the Canadian Renewable Energy Association and Dunsky Energy and Climate Advisors have teamed up to create their very first Market Outlook Report for Canada.We chatted with two of the authors, and they shared some exciting insights: solar and wind power are expected to grow by 10-15 times in Canada, which could lead to billions in investment and hundreds of thousands of jobs.The report uses Canadian data to give a detailed look at the Canadian market, and it’s tailored for industry, government, and investors, which is why it’s a bit pricey. But don’t worry, you can grab the executive summary for free!

The clean energy transition seems unstoppable now, but back in 2011, Michael Liebreich, founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, exclaimed, "Yabasta," he was ready to say enough is enough with the UN COP process. "Yabasta is the rallying cry of the anti-globalists in the anti-capitalist, anti-globalists in Italy back then. And so I said, Yabasta, can we stop doing this? And the reason I said that was I was leading a team, a big team, hundreds of people, and we were tracking this incredible progress across clean technologies. Wind, solar, of course, also EVs, batteries, energy efficiency, the switch away from coal was pretty clear what was happening. And then there were these COPmeetings. By that time, we were on COP 17, I think it was, and they had produced nothing of any use." says Liebreich.In part 4 of our series on Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset we look at the Conference of the Parties and what can be done to make real progress on Climate Change.✅ GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

Prime Minister Mark Carney came to office with pretty solid climate credentials. But it seems climate policies are dropping like flies since his election. It seems Carney's MOU with Alberta to build an oil pipeline while relaxing more environmental rules was the last straw for Steven Guilbeault, who resigned his cabinet post over the deal.To dive beneath the headlines, we talked to Max Fawcett, a climate columnist with the National Observer, to find out if Carney has sold out the environment or if he's a political chessmaster playing a long game.SEE OUR FULL INTERVIEW:GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

The folks who say clean energy can never satisfy primary energy demand have it all wrong, says Michael Liebreich in his essay on The Pragmatic Climate Reset. Due to the inefficiency of fossil fuels, only 68% of primary energy is provided by fossil fuels, he says. "The 1.5 degree [energy] transition is dead," he says, but "Transition like a tortoise is absolutely not dead."What does this all mean? Liebreich projects the growth of clean energy over time, and the results are surprising.This is Part 3 in our series on Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset.See our FULL INTERVIEW with Michael Liebreich herehttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA/episode/5VHXtNSjWt1l7zithDQGyM/details✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca🟢 A GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

In Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset, he calls for an end to polarizing all-or-nothing climate action. He says we can get to 90% clean energy by dropping the absolute goals of getting to 100% renewable energy and banning fossil fuels.Getting to 90% can be done efficiently, cost-effectively by focusing on the cheapest energy solutions and using some natural gas.And besides, he says, by the time we get to 90% clean energy, we will know what to do about the last 10% that appears cost-prohibitive today.This is part 2 in our series on Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset.

The focus of the world has shifted dramatically since the election of President Donald Trump and in the wake of trade wars and economic woes that seem to dominate the news cycles.This has also led to climate change taking a back seat, and some critics are suggesting the energy transition is dead.Whoa, not so fast, says Michael Liebreich, investor, energy expert, and founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance.Rumours of the death of the energy transition are greatly exaggerated, he says, and he’s got a plan to revitalize the energy transition and climate action.He says what’s needed is a major pragmatic climate reset.In part one of our Green Energy Futures CKUA series on the Pragmatic Reset, Liebreich makes the case for pragmatism, an end to absolutism, and a new, more inclusive energy transition.  🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than400 episodes! ✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST -https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee- https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passionproject.

What the world needs now is a Pragmatic Climate Reset. So says Michael Liebreich, investor, energy transition expert and the founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance.Driven by the potential catastrophic impacts posed by climate change people and the nations of the world have pushed to eliminate fossil fuels, move to 100% renewable energy and to get to net-zero by 2050.These are laudable goals, but not all of them are plausible to achieve says Michael Liebreich in our wide ranging interview on his push for a major reset in how we tackle climate change.He's NOT saying we abandon action on climate change, but that we change the narrative from one that is deeply polarizing to one that is inclusive, and recognizes the concerns of people for not only climate impacts but also their livlihoods, and wellbeing.On the contrary Liebreich is saying we can take faster action, by being much more strategic in the actions we take and to stop our focus on something he calls absolutism - goals that that are founded in the real threat of climate change instead of their practicality.FULL INTERVIEW🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

VIDEO - Nova Scotia is bullish on offshore wind power. They just offered leases for the development of 5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity. That's twice the annual electricity consumption in Nova Scotia. And they have already identified suitable areas for up to 60 gigawatts of offshore wind development. That's enough to provide 27% of Canada's electricity. Surprisingly, these will be the first offshore wind projects in Canada, even though the technology is widely used in China, the UK, the US, and other countries.We talk to Elisa Obermann, executive director of Marine Renewables Canada, who says Premier Tim Houston is a big advocate for the development, which he describes as nation-building.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com VIDEO Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

Amidst the trade wars, geopolitical and economic turmoil, Prime Minister Mark Carney is fast-tracking what he calls nation-building mega projects. BUT "Instead of ‘building fossil fuel and mining mega projects,’ Evan Ferrari says we need to build 'decentralized megaprojects' that are “small hyper local projects thattogether add up to a massive megaproject.”Evan Ferrari is the executive director of Emerge Guelph Sustainability, a local climate change action group in Guelph, Ontario.He says what's needed in 2025 are distributed nation-building mega projects that help Canadians, fight climate change, and build the economy of tomorrow, instead of building "fossil fuel and mining mega projects" that exacerbate the climate crisis and entrench the economy in yesterday.GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

Driven by the US trade war and Canada passed its Nation Building bill to fast-track nation-building projects to support economic and energy independence. Monica Curtis of the Pembina Institute thinks we need to rethink the idea of nation-building mega projects and is proposing Canada launch a massive wave of building retrofit projects to support energy security, affordability for Canadians and to tackle one of the biggest boxes of greenhouse gas emissions - buildings.
