Energy Transition

"Once you got a solar panel on a roof, energy is free. Once we convert our entire electricity grid to green and renewable energy, cost of living goes down."

– Elizabeth May, Former Green Party Leader

How does energy transition intersect with climate?

The energy transition plays a crucial role in addressing climate change. Shifting from fossil fuel-based energy systems to renewable and low-carbon alternatives is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power helps decrease reliance on fossil fuels, which are major contributors to global warming. It also promotes energy efficiency, decarbonization, and the development of sustainable energy infrastructure. A successful energy transition requires policy support, technological advancements, investment in renewable energy projects, and public awareness. By embracing clean energy solutions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy, we can significantly reduce carbon emissions and foster a more sustainable future for the planet.
