Don’t be fossil fooled: a cleaner energy future is a cheaper energy future – Environmental Defence: As if two years of a pandemic weren’t enough, we now have to deal with an affordability crisis. This has been exhausting and stressful for most of us. In an attempt to exploit our concerns, Canada’s oil and gas industry would like us to believe this terrible inflation means we need to throw all caution to the wind, forget about climate action and double down on fossil fuel production. This could not be further from the truth. Not only is investing in more fossil fuels not a solution to today’s problems, it actually will lock us into more turbulence for decades.
