Why I'm worried: i) lack of details in the Alberta deal about the benchmark tightening rate (given ample research and advice), ii) deal's language around "cost sharing" on contracts for difference; could turn a good idea into subsidizing high-emitting companies that can afford emissions cuts

Hope for meaningful emissions cuts from industrial pricing now rest heavily on negotiations around tightening the emissions benchmarks and the delivery of "contracts for difference", which encourage companies to act by locking in the future carbon price (regardless of future policy changes). (1/2)

Electric car registrations ahead of petrol models in Germany

Clean Energy Wire
Electric cars have overtaken petrol models in monthly new car registrations in Germany, following the introduction of a new subsidy programme and the sharp increase in oil prices caused by the war in Iran. Registrations of pure electric cars rose 66 percent in March 2026 compared to a year ago to almost 71,000, the country’s motor vehicle authority KBA said.
