“Energy is power. Energy is Canada’s superpower,” stated Hodgson recently
at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. “It gives us an opportunity to build the
strongest economy in the G7, guide the world in the right direction and be
strong when we show up at a negotiation table.”
With this new leadership—which is powered by a combination of tax credits,
infrastructure funding and carbon pricing—the options have never been better

emissions-free and renewable energy sources.
There’s a clean energy solution for every geography. Solar power
harnesses energy from the sun using photovoltaic cells or solar thermal
technologies. Wind power converts wind energy into electricity using
turbines. Hydroelectricity uses the power of 昀氀owing water to generate
electricity. Biomass uses organic matter like wood and waste to produce
energy. Geothermal energy extracts heat from the Earth’s core to generate
electricity or heat.
