Are heat pumps really the future of home heating in Canada — or just another expensive government-backed experiment?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, about heat pumps, electricity costs, green subsidies, net-zero policy, and the growing burden on taxpayers.McTeague argues that while heat pumps may work in some circumstances, they are being oversold by governments as a simple solution for Canadian homes. He raises concerns about cold-weather performance, installation costs, electricity demand, insurance concerns, and whether taxpayers are being asked to subsidize another green transition program without fully understanding the long-term costs.The conversation explores:Heat pumps and Canadian wintersInstallation costs and payback timelinesHydro prices and grid capacityGovernment subsidies and taxpayer debtComparisons to electric vehicle incentivesNet-zero policy and public spendingWhy McTeague believes governments are “picking favourites” in the energy marketHeat pumps remain a major part of federal and provincial energy-efficiency strategies, and Natural Resources Canada describes them as a proven technology when properly chosen and installed. But McTeague questions whether the policy push is realistic for many Canadians — especially those already struggling with high costs of living.As governments continue promoting net-zero programs, this interview asks whether Canadians are getting practical energy solutions — or another expensive policy experiment doomed to fail.

Why can't Canada get major projects built anymore?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, about pipelines, regulation, bureaucracy, energy policy, and the media's relationship with government funding.McTeague argues that Canada has become so over-regulated that major infrastructure projects now take years — even decades — to complete. While the United States can move energy infrastructure ahead far quickly, he says Canada has buried itself under layers of approvals, studies, bureaucracy, and political hesitation.The discussion covers:Why pipelines take so long to build in CanadaThe role of unelected bureaucrats and regulatorsHow red tape affects investment, jobs, and productivityThe connection between energy policy and gas pricesWhy Canada has struggled to develop its natural resourcesRecent job losses in construction and the broader economyGovernment-funded media and questions about transparencyWhy independent commentary matters in Canadian politicsMcTeague also argues that Canada's energy delays are not just an industry issue — they affect the cost of living, the value of the Canadian dollar, and the country's ability to compete globally.As debate continues over pipelines and major resource projects, Canada has recently approved Enbridge's C$4 billion Westcoast natural gas pipeline expansion, while other pipeline proposals still face major political and regulatory uncertainty Hosted on Acast.

Much of the electric and natural gas rate increases Virginians have been seeing—and will only continue to see increase after the recent storm—are due to the Clean Economy Act.   Gov. Abigail Spanberger “very much ran for election on those policies,” so the big question now is if she'll do anything about the rate increases, said Steve Haner, a senior fellow for state and local tax policy at the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy.   “ People are about to get bills and, and it's going to shock them. And if you think the legislature's doing anything to make that cheaper, please lie down. You'll feel better. Because they're not.

Hoge energiekosten – veel hoger dan in de VS en China – zorgen er mede voor dat de Europese industrie internationaal bijna niet meer kan concurreren. Om het tij te keren lanceerde de Europese Commissie in februari 2025 het Actieplan voor Betaalbare Energie. Hoe staat het met de uitvoering van dat plan? Werken de aangekondigde maatregelen? En zo niet, wat moeten we dán doen? Dat en meer vraag ik Marinus Tabak, Chief Operating Officer van RWE Generation.

September 26, 2025- Environmentalists are hoping a gas pipeline proposal for New York City gets rejected by state regulators for a fourth time, but interested business and labor groups think it deserves new consideration.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, to break down a major policy reversal from Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney has announced his government will delay the electric vehicle sales quota that was set to force dealerships to make 20% of all new car sales battery-powered by 2026. The controversial mandate would have driven up costs, restricted consumer choice, and left dealers stuck with unsold stock. After months of pushback from taxpayers, industry, and ordinary Canadians, Carney has blinked — but only partially. As Kris and Dan explain, the delay is a tactical retreat, not a victory. EV demand is collapsing without subsidies, Canada's grid cannot support mass electrification, and the uncertainty continues to hurt dealers and investors. Meanwhile, Ottawa's broader climate agenda — including the industrial carbon tax, clean fuel standard, and production caps — still threaten jobs and affordability across the country. Kris and Dan dig into why the mandate was doomed from the start, how public pressure forced Carney's hand, and what Canadians must do to ensure the policy is scrapped completely.

Earlier this week, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Ga) addressed the Georgia Chamber of Commerce while many of the GOP hopefuls seeking to oust him in 2026 were working the room. Also working the room - Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who hasn't said what office (if any) he'll be running for soon.But he was in the room schmoozing, so of course he's running for something. The question is: is there an avenue for him to win the GOP nomination in either the Senate or gubernatorial primary? I, for one, have my doubts. ------Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance swooped into metro Atlanta to tout the highly unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill" that was signed into law last month. He steered clear of going anywhere near projects unfunded by that same bill, like the $65 million for the south metro Flint River Gateway Trails. ------Speaking of environmental impact, Georgia's going the wrong direction (and that'll be exacerbated by Trump-led green energy rollbacks), and consumers will pay the brunt for that, according to Patty Durand, founder of Georgians for Affordable Energy. ------Texas moved forward with their use of "gerrymandering on request" to appease the unpopular President, Donald Trump. He's trying to fend off a midterm turnover of the U.S. House. California, in turn, is aiming to undo what Texas does, and their state Supreme Court signed off on it. What's rich is, House Speaker Mike Johnson wants California to stick to using independent redistricting commissions (just California, though; no word on seeing red states embrace this concept, of course) when he's the shining example of an unchallenged politician benefiting from gerrymandering in his home state. Brilliant takedown by David Pepper on X. ------Jamie Dupree wrote an op/ed for the Atlanta Journal Constitution spotlighting what appears to be the first Democratic-drafted plan to provide an alternative to "Project 2025" that Dupree believes most Americans could get behind. Ohio Democratic House member Greg Landsman has penned a ten-point plan that lays that path out.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims takes on two of the most pressing issues facing Canadians: the Carney Liberals' unrealistic electric vehicle mandate and Ottawa's stranglehold on Canada's media. A new Leger poll shows Canadians are rejecting the 2035 EV ban. Nearly 70% say it's unrealistic, while 71% say the mandate should be rolled back. Even among Liberal voters, most oppose it. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has warned the mandate would cost at least $300 billion in grid upgrades and charging stations, while destroying rural communities and wiping out Canada's auto sector. Kris is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy and a former Liberal MP, to break down exactly why this policy is unaffordable, unworkable, and damaging to the auto industry. McTeague explains that quotas begin in January 2026 — just four months away — and will hammer car dealers with penalties while driving up prices for consumers. Kris also exposes to the government's media agenda, recently criticized by no less than the US State Department. The Online News Act was supposed to “save journalism,” but instead gutted independent outlets as Meta blocked Canadian news. Google cut a $100-million deal, yet most of the money flows to legacy outlets like the CBC, already swimming in $1.4 billion in taxpayer funding despite rock-bottom ratings. The result: Canadians get less access to news and more government-funded propaganda, while everyday families brace for higher costs under a $300B EV fantasy. Learn more about your ad choices.

In his work with the Office of Public Advocate, he worked to strengthen the state's Renewable Portfolio Standards and the competition of the Artificial Island project to improve reliability for the electric grid.He and Ted discuss the comprehensive and community driven array of programs that Energize Delaware offers, including energy audits, rebates, low interest loans or grants for large renewable energy systems, and programs available to low-income customers. He specifically highlights the weatherization assistance program, solar initiatives and incentives, and programs for farmers, ranchers, growers, and other agri-businesses to take charge of their energy future. He also shares how Energize Delaware works collaboratively with the utility, working together to ensure market certainty, avoiding program duplicity, and regularly introducing new, innovative, and relevant solutions to power their community with clean, efficient, and affordable energy.

Energy powers every aspect of American life, from keeping the lights on to fueling our economy. Yet, restrictive federal and state policies have driven up costs, limited production, and made energy less reliable for families and businesses. With a new administration in office, major policy shifts are underway to reverse these harmful regulations and restore energy independence. But will these changes be enough to stabilize the industry, lower prices, and ensure long-term energy security? In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with energy policy expert Faith Burns to break down the federal actions reshaping America's energy landscape. They discuss how the administration is rolling back costly regulations, the role of Congress in securing stable policies, and the state-level mandates that continue to inflate energy prices. With energy costs directly impacting everything from groceries to transportation, this conversation highlights why an all-of-the-above energy strategy is crucial for economic growth and affordability. Tune in to learn how these changes could shape America's energy future—and what still needs to be done.
