The federal govt just announced its clean electricity regulations! This is a big step for renewables, thanks to YOU!⚡Celebrate this win and get ready to keep fighting for 100% clean electricity for a healthier, more affordable future. News release: https://t.co/PsbdqUrGjM

I've been thinking about this "Climate Welcome" action in Nov 2015 a lot lately. It was a great series of actions organized by @350Canada, with @Melina_MLM, @CreeClayton and many others.

Today, I'm remembering the first 3 days of the #Trudeau gov. I was with Indigenous leaders and allies demanding a #fossilfuel phase-out + support for #renewables

No matter who the PM is, #ClimateJustice will take organizing, solidarity, and grassroots action

[Stephen Thomas @StephenJWT]

So, today we celebrate the wins that we've worked for years to secure.

And tomorrow, we keep fighting for 100 per cent clean electricity, for Indigenous-led and community-led #renewables, for workers rights, and for an energy system that benefits the many, not the few.

These regulations aren't perfect.

We fought hard, but so did fossil fuel billionaires and thier lackeys. They spent millions on ads, misinformation and lobbyists.

The regs have some exemptions for new gas plants. They are a waste of time and money, and we have neither to spare.

⚡Canada's Clean Electricity Regulations⚡

A keystone policy that brings:

🏡Affordable energy
👷‍♀️Thousands of jobs
🏥Better health outcomes
📉180Mt of GHG reductions
💰$14B in benefits

A win, and a step toward 100% clean electricity.

Good news with fed funding in Sask. and N.B. for #renewables, #energystorage, grid upgrades and #efficiency projects, most of which have Indigenous ownership.

Hoping the fed clean electricity regulations follow up these announcements before end of year.

[David Suzuki FDN @DavidSuzukiFDN]

New funding in SK & NB will help move away from high-cost fossil fuels to renewable power and Indigenous-led renewable electricity. Everyone in Canada deserves clean electricity, we need the federal clean electricity regulations asap. https://t.co/tPEaiqvLy9

Congratulations to @Indigenous_ca ED Eriel Deranger who has been selected for the prestigious 2024 #ClimateBreakthroughAward program to launch a global initiative to address climate change and center Indigenous stewardship.

[Stephen Thomas @StephenJWT]

This story has many of my favourite things about what the energy transition could be throughout Canada.

A municipally-owned electric utility is crediting money back to customers because of the savings from low-cost #renewables and #efficiency programming. ⚡️

You love to see it!

NEWS: Is LNG a good product for investors? And is it the climate-aligned investment that many financial institutions purport it to be? Our latest report suggests not.

Change is possible. 🇨🇦’s near-complete phase-out of coal power has ⬇️ electricity emissions by 60% since 2005.👏

By switching to #CleanEnergy, 🇨🇦 can deliver affordable, reliable electricity & ⬇️ costs for households & businesses nationwide.

Where is Canada's 2035 climate target? The deadline established in Canadian law to set the country's next climate milestone passed yesterday, without a word from government.
