'According to the International Energy Agency, two thirds of global energy investment went towards clean energy in 2024', but Danielle Smith's #Alberta has 'pulled itself out of the renewables race'
Danielle Smith needs to get her 'government out of the way of renewables growth in #Alberta'

'There is no such thing as decarbonized oil and gas.'
'Responsible, ethical or clean oil doesn’t exist. No form of oil is removed from the global market and no form of oil is less harmful.'
Re: 'decarbonized barrels [of oil]'
Relying on carbon capture Greenwashing fossil fuels
Downplaying the power of renewables Driving inflation and asking for public money Delaying climate action
Was Mark Carney spreading #misinformation by claiming the fossil fuel industry could produce 'decarbonized barrels [of oil]'? Let's compare with the David Suzuki Foundation's misinformation checklist:

Mark Carney's 'decarbonized barrels [of oil]' comment yesterday likely could not have been made by an oil company CEO, and continues the Liberals' track record of spreading #misinformation on fossil fuels:

'And if you want to know what the future holds if we continue down this path — it’s in the smoke-choked skies, the charred earth and the mass evacuation orders issued across our province this week.'
'If you want to see what climate change looks like in real time, look no further than the smouldering forests of northern Manitoba.'
'... above all, we need a wholesale shift in how we treat climate change. It can no longer be a “future problem.” It’s a “right now” problem.'
