Deep beneath our feet lies one of nature’s greatest untapped wonders: the Earth’s relentless, molten heat engine. For over 10,000 years, Indigenous peoples around the world have revered hot springs as sacred lifelines, using them to heal, cook, and warm entire communities. What began as cultural wisdom slowly evolved into engineering ambition. In 1904, in […]

Non-Wires Alternatives (NWAs), also called non-wires solutions or non-transmission alternatives, are exactly what the name implies: smarter ways to fix grid problems without always building expensive new wires, poles, transformers, or substations. By targeting peak demand with demand response, energy efficiency, distributed generation, battery storage, and smart tech, NWAs reduce load, ease congestion, and resolve […]

You’ve probably heard the saying: there are decades where nothing happens, and then there are weeks where decades happen. Lately, it feels like this perfectly encapsulates the state of the global energy sector. As renowned energy strategist Kingsmill Bond puts it, “a century of evolution is converging into a decade of revolution.” Last week, I […]

Canada stands at a pivotal moment in its energy and economic evolution. The global race for renewable energy technologies, critical minerals, and AI/data-centre infrastructure is intensifying, and Canada has a unique opportunity to position itself as a leader in the low-carbon economy. With the release of Budget 2025: Canada Strong and the launch of the […]

In my previous article, Forget Transition; Expansion Is the New Energy Imperative, I posited  that surging electricity demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and widespread electrification calls for a bold new mindset. Instead of debating whether renewables should replace thermal generation, we need to expand total power generation capacity, and quickly. I proposed a […]
