Building pipelines - Trade war a ‘great opportunity’ to talk about pipelines, says CNRL president

 Mar. 8, 2025

Despite the security dangers posed by U.S. President Donald Trump, there is no way a new – or resurrected – pipeline project would be completed in less than five years

Jonathan Wilkinson would like everyone to take a deep breath, when it comes to one of the biggest, costliest and riskiest ways that Canada could try to assert its energy independence in the face of Donald Trump’s threats.

Researchers say data strengthens case for holding firms to account for their contribution to climate crisis

Half of the world’s climate-heating carbon emissions come from the fossil fuels produced by just 36 companies, analysis has revealed.

The researchers said the 2023 data strengthened the case for holding fossil fuel companies to account for their contribution to global heating. Previous versions of the annual report have been used in legal cases against companies and investors.

Trump’s billionaire allies push more LNG terminals, as household bills climb

The cost of heating more than a million homes, farms and businesses across B.C. could soon jump again, as fossil gas prices double later this year.

That’s according to a forecast by the B.C. government included in Tuesday’s budget, which predicts a 113 per cent increase in the price of fossil gas this fiscal year.

BC Energy Regulator inspectors gave a passing grade to an oil and gas site they said had a ‘SERIOUS deficiency’ and another that had potentially been ‘gurgling’ since 2012. Here are some of their notes

This investigation is a collaboration between The Narwhal and Investigative Journalism Foundation.

“Serious deficiency.” “Very stinky.” “Leakage.” “A hazard.”

This year’s B.C. government budget was a “missed opportunity” to ensure the economy is more resilient to Trump tariffs by driving job growth and energy security with more support for a clean economy, say climate experts.

The budget didn’t claw back prior climate initiatives or undermine the CleanBC plan, but lacked ambition to decarbonize the economy or put B.C. at the forefront of the global clean energy transition, said Chris Severson-Baker, executive director of the Pembina Institute.
