Amazon on Wednesday said that it was investing in small nuclear reactors, coming just two days after a similar announcement by Google, as both tech giants seek new sources of carbon-free electricity to meet surging demand from data centers and artificial intelligence.

Microsoft’s deal to bring back a Three Mile Island nuclear reactor is just one part of Big Tech’s quid pro quo with nuclear power.

The US and the UK among countries with low dependence on fossil fuels criticized for ‘hypocrisy’ on climate pledges

Canadian oil and gas companies facing a federally imposed emissions cap will decide to cut their production rather than invest in too-expensive carbon capture and storage technology, a new report by Deloitte says.

Half of all new cars are now SUVs, and even though approximately 20 per cent of them are hybrid or electric vehicles, rising emissions from the vehicles have been cited for causing as much as a fifth of the increase in global carbon dioxide emissions.

Canada's energy minister is defending carbon capture and storage technology as both effective and affordable, after an Alberta power company walked away from a planned project and a study found that another project got public subsidies to cover more than three-quarters of its costs.

Such a summit would have been unthinkable a dozen years ago in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, but a warming planet creating a need to phase out fossil fuels and war in Ukraine laying bare a dependence on Russian energy have turned the tables over the past half decade.

Experts say the world is "past peak fossil power" but warn against uneven development of energy projects.

The world's renewable energy grew at its fastest rate in the past 25 years in 2023, the International Energy Agency reported on Thursday in its first assessment since nations agreed in December on ambitious new targets to slow dangerous climate change.

Rather than a trade group fighting to keep gas in homes, we need one fighting for a very different future.

For Muskan, the arrival of summer in Delhi is the “beginning of hell.” As temperatures in her cramped, densely populated east Delhi neighbourhood often soar above 45 C, she dreams of only one thing: air conditioning.

After a first-day blur of rare quick action and agreement, negotiators at a critical United Nations climate summit on Wednesday finished up their first week in a more familiar place for them: the murky middle where momentum and roadblocks intertwine.

The oil and gas sector, one of the major emitters of planet-warming gases, will need a rapid and substantial overhaul for the world to avoid even worse extreme weather events fuelled by human-caused climate change, the International Energy Agency said.

While banks and pension plans manage Canadians’ money, the return on investment underperforms expectations when it comes to climate action.
