LNG Canada Phase 2: After FID key questions remain

As Phase 2 of LNG Canada reaches final investment decision, major partners are selling their stakes in the project. New @ieefainstitute.bsky.social research asks if the divestments could be evidence of a changing appetite for the project’s risks 🤔 ieefa.org/resources/ln...

Phase 2 must contend with greater uncertainty around construction costs, economic inflation, potential global oversupply, and a turbulent trade environment.

Just a few years after whales returned, we are now planning to send 700 tankers per year through the Kitimat Fjord system. Whales need quiet waters to navigate and find their food. Tankers are loud and big. When a hit-and-run happens, whales die. wwf.ca/stories/fin-...

LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., burned 350 million cubic metres of gas in 2025. That’s more than any other LNG export facility on record in 2024

Shell pre-empts the Prime Minister of Canada, announces expansion of LNG Canada overnight. TC Energy also announces doubling of Coastal Gaslink fracked gas pipeline capacity. More pollution, whale-injuring tanker traffic, flaring, conflicts, profits for foreign corps, fracking. Good for who?

Climate Emissions from Fossil Fuels Set to Fall in 2026 as Oil and Gas Glut Approaches

🌊The “Building Canada Strong Act” (let’s just call it the Bulldoze Nature Bill for short) is a massive bill that drastically weakens the rules that help ensure major projects don’t harm clean water, nature, and the climate we all rely on. And it weakens protections for workers...

It’s time for fashion brands to pay their fair share, join the Clean Fashion Investment Pact and stand up for garment workers like Dilruba, Hasina, Kakoli and Bulbuli. 🖌️Art: Doris Rose #Workers

Dilruba Akter. Dilruba works as a sewing operator in a small garment factory. She is often paid less than the mandated minimum wage for ready made garment (RMG) workers. Dilruba regularly works overtime beyond her eight-hour shift, leaving her physically exhausted and with less time for her children. The recent energy crisis has impacted her work. When the electricity goes out, production is halted and workers are sent home until power is restored. Then, garment workers are expected to return to the factory to work additional hours to make up for the production lost during the outage. *Names have been changed to protect identities.” Arrow icon.

Illustration of Hasina Khatun with sewing supplies all around her. “This is Hasina Khatun* Hasina works as a sewing operator in a large factory in Dhaka. In recent years, her factory has had increasingly unpredictable and extreme temperature

fluctuations that put her safety at risk during heat waves. As the impacts of the energy crisis grows, Hasina and her colleagues are experiencing the effects of heat and energy-related disruptions first hand, facing worsening working conditions and longer working hours that impact them both physically and mentally. *Names have been changed to protect identities.” Arrow icon.

Bulbuli Khatun. Bulbuli works as a helper in a large-scale, export-oriented garment factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. At 45 years old, she is feeling the pressure to keep up with daunting production targets. Pressure at work has made her increasingly worried that she might lose her job if the situation persists. At her age, it would be difficult for her to find another job. The ongoing energy crisis directly impact Bulbuli's ability to make a living and her growing workload is a daily cause of anxiety. When production targets remain unchanged during power disruption, it is garment workers who pay the price with their intensified workloads. *Names have been changed to protect identities.” Arrow icon.

Kakoli Rahman. Kakoli also works in a large garment factory as a sewing operator. Recent frequent and prolonged power outages make work days longer and more exhausting. Kakoli feels sick and needs to take leave to care for herself and her family members, but requesting time off comes with a risk. Due to the energy crisis, the garment factory is dealing with significant power outages that mean significantly reduced regular production time, which workers are then expected to compensate by working longer, instead of revising the production targets. *Names have been changed to protect identities.” Arrow icon.

Tensions with the US and Alberta are leading Prime Minister Carney to back new oil and gas infrastructure. Smoothing the path to electrification would be a better use of public funds.

I am pretty sure that if data centres were going to drive a massive global surge in renewable energy, we would've seen it in the data by now www.irena.org/Publications...

Bar chart comparing annual global clean‑tech investment by sector — renewable power, energy efficiency, and grids — showing modest 2023–2025 bars and much larger 2026–2030 required annual investments to triple renewable capacity and double efficiency by 2030.

#BigTech’s AI is melting the planet. AI data centers are polluting communities’ air, hogging their water, spiking their electricity bills, and spurring a new dirty boom in fossil fuels. None of this is good for people or the planet, no matter how tech billionaires try to spin it. 🧵 #GreenSky
