David Suzuki: The undeniable economic case for climate action - Pancouver Canada's best-known environmentalist says that resolving the climate crisis presents a tremendous economic opportunity.

David Suzuki: "There are no valid economic arguments against rapidly shifting from burning polluting fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources".

Renewables are reliable, cost less, and are immune to oil's market volatility.

Europe will give priority to clean energy, high-level EU diplomat says | The Narwhal A high-level EU diplomat says Europe is focused on nuclear and renewables, as India makes a play for Canadian oil and gas

”Who’s rushing to buy Canadian oil and gas? Not Europe”

“… our policy is to give priority to clean energy sources, because we are on target to comply with our 2050 targets”

”That’s the way forward. Simple.”

Canadian LNG out of step with Europe's clean energy shift: EU official Senior Brussels diplomat Belén Martinez Carbonell says renewables and nuclear power win out over fossil fuels to help meet EU economic and emissions reduction goals.

Senior EU official signals the bloc has little appetite for large-scale imports of Canadian LNG, calling clean energy “the way forward”

Future energy trade agreements with Canada would prioritize “clean energy sources" instead:
