Ottawa is putting $2 billion behind home electrification, with heat-pump rebates of up to $10,000 and financing for apartment retrofits to help lower energy bills.

Canada has the talent and technology to build new industries. David Victor says success requires focused investment, managed risk, financing, and global markets.

Jan Rosenow explains why Canada needs affordable electricity, practical policies and an industrial strategy to become an electrostate.

University of Sussex professor Peter Newell says Canada’s oil and gas expansion plans should be tested against changing global demand and the risk of stranded infrastructure.

Ottawa’s $66.3-million retrofit investment is useful. Canada now needs to turn individual projects into an electrification industry that lowers bills, strengthens the grid and builds lasting capacity.

Canada’s drilling expertise could underpin a geothermal industry. Peter Massie says shared test centres and a coordinated industrial strategy would help companies prove their technologies and supply growing electricity demand.
