Governments need to start working with us to advance energy projects and secure Canada\u0027s place as part of the solution to the energy crisis
To make matters worse, most of the manufacturing happens overseas, as it is nearly impossible for western countries to compete for manufacturing jobs due to low labour costs in places like China. Furthermore, China holds almost all of the rare earth metals required for solar panels. Green energy, it turns out, is no different than our fishing and logging industries — we simply don’t have a competitive advantage in labour costs.
Green energy technologies — such as solar, hydrogen and wind — often require subsides because they tend to cost more to produce than they make back in return, or are uneconomic compared to other technologies. The oil and gas industry, on the other hand, generally only benefits from the same tax credits available to other Canadian companies.

Once Indigenous communities are aligned and working together, industry will come to the table and invest.Article content

Indeed, the best way to reduce Canada’s emissions is through technological innovation.
