There’s little room for debate on the idea that Canada needs more clean energy. As governments, society and the private sector work toward mitigating the impacts of climate change and achieving targets of net-zero emissions, the need for Canada to accelerate the development of clean energy has become apparent.
On June 9, The Globe and Mail hosted a webcast to bring energy leaders together to discuss strategies to overcome obstacles to clean energy development on a larger scale.
