![It’s in oil and gas reliant provinces that we MOST need to build up renewables to offset the economic impacts of the coming decline in oil and gas demand globally.
Canada is spending three times more backing oil and gas than renewables, even though renewables are a better investment for jobs and the economy. A November 2025 report shows a stark picture of the revenue losses provincial governments will face in the next decade as “oil and gas demand dries up:
By 85% in Alberta.
By 72% in British Columbia.
By 78% in Saskatchewan.
By nearly 100% in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Politico reports “The U.K. is doubling down on clean energy, not despite the Iran crisis — but because of it.”). Further The Guardian reports, “achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock [costs] and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs.”
Low-cost renewable energy is soaring in China and Vietnam: Vietnam’s wind and solar generation exceeds gas-fired power generation. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) demand is estimated to have already peaked in Europe and South Korea. China has already surpassed its 2030 renewable energy ambitions. LNG is unlikely to replace coal overseas; analysts confirm that renewable energy – not LNG – is the biggest competitor to coal in both China and India.
In fact, China installed more wind and solar power in a single year than the total amount of renewable energy currently operating in the United States.
Countries are going to electrify energy even faster now too. Already proposed Canadian oil and gas projects like Bay du Nord needed decades of demand for their product to be viable - demand that just didn't exist: https://www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national-interest-canada/
Going 100% renewable is entirely possible, find out more: https://www.sierraclub.ca/canada-can-go-100-renewable/](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4yx242no4vrhoojneii42od/bafkreiasyupvue4cmyqrsnemvjkbbba3kmrg6lcfzqzul3luxmbfqpthq4)
