  • Chasing Net Zero a new series on some of Canada's best net zero home builders
    Apr 21 2026

    We are excited to announce that Green Energy Futures is heading out on tour to bring back stories of some of Canada's best net-zero home builders.We're calling the series Chasing Net Zero, which we are doing in collaboration with the Canadian Home Builders Association Net Zero Labelling program, which launched in 2016.Pioneering home builders have been working on net-zero homes since the mid-2000s, but the CHBA realized what was needed was a program to define and label these homes as net-zero or net-zero ready to help builders and consumers alike.Today, the idea is taking off with 365 builders, energy advisors, and retrofitters involved in the program having built more than 3,700 net-zero homes.We talk to Sonja Winkemann and Colin Bayne of the CHBA Net Zero Labelling program to find out what a net-zero home is and how it all works.We have already begun filming stories on some amazing home builders such as Doug Tarry Homes in St. Thomas, Ontario, Land Ark Homes in West Port, Ontario, and Avalon Master Builders in Calgary, Alberta. There are many more to come in the series, which begins in May 6, 2026.Get ready to be inspired and see the future of housing being built today.

  • 430. What if flexible gas could replace coal and get to 96% clean energy?
    Apr 8 2026

    Instead of saying ban fossil fuels tomorrow, what if by using a small amount of flexible gas we could get to 96% clean energy?This is the thrust of Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset.

    Today, we talk to Anders Lindberg of Wärtsilä out of Finland, which makes flexible gas power plants.

    In one example, their models show you could replace 30% coal generation with just 12% flexible gas capacity, use it only 4% of the time and achive 96% clean energy and radically lower emissions.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.

  • 429. Carbon Pricing Shell Games and the Magic of a $130 Carbon Price
    Apr 1 2026

    Understanding the proposed MOU between Alberta and Ottawa on energy and climate means diving into the shell games surrounding industrial carbon pricing - we dive in.There is a lot at stake here - Alberta wants less red tape for oil and gas, and Canada wants action on climate change. We talk to Janetta McKenzie, director of oil and gas at the Pembina Institute, to understand what the real price of industrial carbon is and why it matters.

    Pembina says there is $40 billion of investment in low-carbon investments that could be unleashed if they get it right.
