Join Sierra Club’s Maggie Bunbury for a three-part webinar series discussing Atlantic Canada’s electricity landscape. We’ll explore what each of the four provinces are doing—and not doing—to transition away from fossil fuels. The webinars will examine how new offshore oil drilling, new natural gas plants, and new decades-long energy infrastructure projects jeopardize the region’s transition to clean—and affordable—renewable energy.
There is a lot that Atlantic Canada can do to not only reach “net-zero” but “absolute zero” long before 2050. Absolute zero is a term we at Sierra Club Canada are using to categorize an electricity grid that is powered by 100% renewable, non-emitting sources of electricity. That means provinces don’t get to drill oil and then plant trees in order to call it “net-zero.
