Could Quebec Run Out of Energy?
Most Canadians don’t know or understand very much about the energy situation in Quebec. If asked, many would probably remark on Quebec’s incredible hydro electric power. Some know that Quebec exports a great deal of electricity to nearby provinces and the United States. Indeed, the Government of Quebec’s green economy plan states it will continue and maybe even increase those exports to become the “battery” of northeastern America. Some, however, have started to question whether that is possible. Recently, David Boudeweel wrote a piece asking the question, “Could Quebec Run Out of Energy?” Today, I’m pleased to welcome Public Affairs Consultant David Boudeweel to the podcast to discuss Quebec’s energy situation.

Does the World Really Want (or need) Net Zero?
In this episode Dr. Tammy Nemeth speaks with Francis Menton on the reality of the world's energy needs and the push to get to "net zero".
Is the Cost of Net Zero Actually Worth It?
In this episode Dr. Tammy Nemeth speaks with Dennis McConaghy, the author of the new book Carbon Change: Canada on the Brink of Decarbonization.
Designed to Kill the Fossil Fuel Industry -- The IFRS Global Baseline ESG Standards
Welcome to a Nemeth Report special. Canada is about to sign onto new emissions reporting standards that are designed to kill the fossil fuel industry. The International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS) has developed a new global baseline sustainability and climate related financial disclosure Standard, and Canada has committed to supporting this new Standard. I’ve written a new report about this extremely important issue that will have profound implications for every business in Canada, but which, as currently written, demonizes greenhouse gas emissions through the accounting standards’ metrics. I explain in this report how pernicious this Standard is, and how it will compromise the finances and operations of hydrocarbon companies, and any industry that utilizes hydrocarbons.
In this Special Report, I share with you the Executive Summary from my report, Counting Carbon Molecules, which is available on the podcast website, The Nemeth Report.com. Another summary of the report is in my recent op-ed in the Financial Post, "Net-Zero? New Standard Aims for Absolute-Zero Emissions."
I hope you will enjoy this short episode.
