But it pales in scale to the Herculean task of at least doubling Canada’s electrical grid with non-emitting power to supply electrons to all those EVs, electric heat pumps and energy intensive industries, like EV battery manufacturing plants in Ontario, or LNG and green hydrogen plants in British Columbia.
The task of replacing all coal power in Canada with non-emitting energy sources, and then doubling the grid to meet the increased demand from decarbonization, was the
