Energy & Climate

In order to avoid the worst effects of the climate emergency, Canada needs to accelerate a transition away from fossil fuels. A shift to sustainable energy solutions will help stabilize energy costs by shielding Canadians from volatile oil and gas market fluctuations. However, the transition to a clean energy economy must not fall on the backs of low to medium-income households, and it must ensure that big polluters pay their fair share. 

Tackling the climate emergency necessitates taking immediate action to phase out the use of fossil fuels and reduce emissions from the energy sector. Together with improving energy efficiency, increasing our generation of wind power is a critical component of reducing Nova Scotia’s emissions from electricity.
