Renewable energy builders and buyers won't sit idly while a senior member of the Ontario government calls their projects "unnecessary and wasteful."

The sweeping cuts to "unnecessary and wasteful energy projects" are part of the Ontario government's plan to cut hydro rates by 12 per cent, said Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines Greg Rickford on Friday afternoon.

John Gorman, president of the Canadian Solar Industries Association, says the shutting down of Ontario's rebate agency that had been funded by the cap and trade program will put a “chill” on a part of the province’s solar business.

Germany will likely miss its goal of cutting emissions by 40 per cent by 2020, the country's environment minister said on Monday, June 18, 2018, an embarrassing admission for a government that wants to lead the charge on limiting climate change.

Asia is leading the global surge in renewable energy jobs. In 2017, the renewable energy industry broke a symbolic threshold, employing over 10 million people, according to the International Renewable Energy Association's latest research.

A popular TV science personality put Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the spot today, March 6, 2018, to explain Canada’s approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which if built will increase the flow of oil from Alberta to the Pacific coast.

Days before setting off to Davos to address world leaders attending the 2018 World Economic Forum, U.S. President Donald Trump fired what may come to be seen as the opening shots in a global trade war — choosing clean solar power as one of two targets for crippling new American tariffs.

Some in the U.S. solar−power industry are hoping a decision this week by President Donald Trump doesn’t bring on an eclipse.

Natural Resources Canada says newer clean power projects like geothermal and tidal power “face higher risks, costs and more regulatory issues" than established ones like hydro dams.

An independent energy agency on Monday, January 8, 2018, rejected a Trump administration plan to bolster coal-fired and nuclear power plants, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump's efforts to boost the struggling coal industry.

Alberta's carbon tax jumped on New Year's Day, but the province's NDP government maintains the tax played a vital role in Alberta's improving economic outlook.

Nearly two years after being laid off as an electrician in Alberta’s flailing oil and gas sector, the 42−year−old is training to become a wind turbine technician.

Although the cost to build solar power has plummeted over the last decade, a new report suggests Canadians aren't rushing to use the sun to make electricity.

Alberta has locked down wind power at a 20-year average price of 3.7 cents per kilowatt-hour — less than half of Ontario’s 2016 procurement.

Sometimes, promoting Canada's clean tech sector to lucrative international markets means abandoning the classic Canuck urge to be humble.
