Canadian energy experts warn country is falling behind in global fossil fuel transition

Summary

Three Canadian energy policy experts argue that Canada is falling behind in the global transition away from fossil fuels. They cite examples like Vietnam abandoning a major LNG project in favor of wind, solar, and battery storage, and note that over 40 countries have pledged to phase out coal. The authors warn that Canada's continued reliance on fossil fuel infrastructure risks economic isolation, stranded assets, and worsening energy affordability crises. They call for a national energy strategy that accelerates clean energy deployment, modernizes electricity grids, and ensures a just transition for workers and communities.
