The province aims to capture a "multi-hundred billion dollar" market with development of a fusion energy industrial ecosystem centred around a reactor design from Princeton University spin-off Stellarex.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says a major federal tax credit to help build carbon capture projects is almost in place, and she wants to see quick progress on the project promised by Canada's biggest oilsands firms.

Provinces and territories working together to decarbonize their power grids is an essential step in the country's transition off fossil fuels to a sustainable future, but plenty stands in the way of meeting that goal. Chief among them: political polarization.

Canada’s clean energy transition is underway but provinces holding much of the power to instigate change aren’t all pulling their weight, says a new report.

The Conservatives, NDP and Bloc have joined forces to demand an examination of the cost and climate impacts of the pipeline expansion.

An investigation into the boards of directors for Canada’s largest banks reveal that not only are the banks, themselves, deeply entrenched in fossil fuels — their leadership is, too.

To hit U.S. government targets for sustainable fuel use, the aviation industry would need to massively increase production — a behaviour that could cause further climate and societal issues, according to the Institute for Policy Studies.

To help Enbridge lock gas customers in for decades to come, Premier Doug Ford's government on Wednesday overrode Ontario’s independent energy regulator and passed the Keeping Energy Costs Down Act.
