Podcasts about Carbon tax

Some communities have local ordinances that require big oil to pay for environmental damage. It's really a backdoor carbon tax. Chris Conley explains on the WSAU Wisconsin Morning News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the hotseat where Joe McCarthy sits with Sir Ronald Cohen, co-founder of Apax Partners, Chair of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment, and author of IMPACT.Sir Ronald is widely regarded as the father of both European venture capital and impact investing. He arrived in London as an 11-year-old refugee from Egypt speaking almost no English, made his way to Oxford and Harvard, and went on to build one of the defining venture and private equity firms of its generation before stepping away to devote himself to what he calls the impact revolution.His argument is simple and radical: governments are stretched, inequality is widening, and relying on taxation and philanthropy alone has failed. The answer is to redirect the trillions already moving through capital markets by measuring impact the way we measure profit. In this conversation he explains why 2026 is a watershed year for that idea, and how AI is changing what is possible.In this conversation, Sir Ronald and Joe discuss the following topics:Why optimising for impact is a route to superior returns, not a trade-offThe hidden risks of impact-blind investing: carbon taxes, consumer flight, and talentWhy carbon tax is the single lever that moves the dial on emissionsHow impact-weighted accounting turns tons of carbon and water into monetary valueThe 1929-to-GAAP parallel and why transparency built modern marketsWhat Harry Markowitz and the measurement of risk teach us about measuring impactWhether public market sustainable investing has any real additionalityMeasuring social impact: pay, representation, and the cost of unemployment to a communityWhere AI meets impact, from education at scale to the first AI-derived drugHow families and family offices should build impact at the portfolio levelGovernments shifting from funding inputs to paying for outcomesHis advice to a younger self: start young, think big, stick with it, and bring impact to itFollow us on:YouTube: @HighNetPurposeInstagram: @highnetpurposeTwitter: @HighNetPurposeLinkedIn: high-net-purposeConnect with Sir Ronald Cohen:LinkedIn: Sir Ronald CohenWebsite: sirronaldcohen.orgBooks: IMPACT: Reshaping Capitalism to Drive Real Change (2nd expanded edition, 2025), The Second Bounce of the Ball, ON IMPACT00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 02:33 Sir Ronald's Sense of Purpose 05:18 Refugee Roots and Early Life 06:44 Oxford Union and Learning to Speak Without Notes 09:14 From McKinsey to Founding Apax Partners 10:38 Building European Venture Capital from Scratch 11:48 Deciding to Leave Apax at 60 13:02 The Government Call That Started the Impact Mission 15:36 The Social Impact Bond - From Idea to Peterborough 17:57 Challenges and Surprises in the Impact Journey 20:03 Why Impact Is Not a Trade-Off for Returns 22:54 Carbon Tax as an Investor Risk 24:52 Consumer Preferences - Cycle vs Long-Term Trend 28:12 Impact Weighted Accounting - Origins and How It Works 33:24 From ESG 1.0 to Rigorous Impact Measurement 35:27 Additionality in Public Markets 38:10 Leaders and Laggards - Sector-Level Impact Transparency 41:36 How AI Is Unlocking Impact Data at Scale 44:00 Monetising Social Impact - Diversity Deficits and Employment 46:58 Impact Lenses Across the Whole Portfolio 51:06 Advice for Families and Entrepreneurs Deploying Capital 55:53 Where to Go for Reliable Impact Information 58:23 Governments, Outcomes Funds and the Systemic Shift 01:03:13 Advice to a Younger Self - and the Second Bounce of the Ball 01:04:07 How Sir Ronald Stays Energised 01:05:29 Closing ReflectionsThis podcast is prepared by Islandbridge Capital Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.All content on High Net Purpose is provided as general information only.

In this episode of The Pipeline, Cory Morgan, Nigel Hannaford, Josh Andrus and Dave Naylor break down Alberta's cabinet shuffle, the Smith-Carney pipeline and industrial carbon tax deal, and whether a potential independence referendum could dominate Alberta politics through the fall. The panel also discusses new claims of possible unmarked graves at Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.

Former U.S. Congressman Bob Inglis joins Brian Nichols to make the "conservative" case for a carbon tax and why most Republican voters keep rejecting his free-market climate proposal. Inside, we dig into the Raise Wages Cut Carbon Act, the Milton Friedman defense of pricing pollution, and the border adjustment mechanism Inglis says could force China to follow America's lead on emissions.We expose the structural cracks in the "revenue-neutral" carbon tax pitch... why the social cost of carbon swings from $42 to $190 depending on who's running Washington... and the uncomfortable fact that every country that's tried this policy has either repealed it, rioted over it, or rejected it at the ballot box.Is this really the free-market answer to climate change... or just a federal Trojan horse dressed in Milton Friedman quotes? What happens when "revenue-neutral" becomes a moving target? And why are libertarians the ones cutting emissions while bureaucrats are still chasing the perfect tax rate?Stick around for the 13:54 mark when I ask Bob to name ONE federal tax in American history that stayed revenue-neutral... the 25:00 moment when we lay out why this policy has failed everywhere it's been tried... and the 40:32 stretch where we expose the fact that US emissions dropped 20% in 15 years - without a carbon tax.Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode of The Brian Nichols Show.

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live from the West Coast, Syvain in Chilliwack, Michael in L.A., begin with a fast-moving roundup of the biggest food, grocery, and agriculture headlines shaping Canada. First, the hosts unpack Dunkin's return to Canada and debate where the iconic brand could fit in a market dominated by Tim Hortons and McDonald's. They also explore major developments in Canada's greenhouse sector, dairy production policy, and the growing demand for dairy proteins as producers respond to changing consumer habits. The conversation then turns to some of the most consequential policy issues impacting food prices and agriculture today, including climate science, industrial carbon pricing, Canadian counter-tariffs, and what new signals from the Bank of Canada could mean for grocery inflation, farm economics, and consumer affordability. Michael and Sylvain offer their unfiltered analysis on government policy, food security, and how unintended consequences continue to ripple across Canadian households. Then, the episode shifts into a compelling long-form interview with Kim Furlong, CEO of Retail Council of Canada. In one of her first major podcast interviews since assuming the role, Kim provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities of modern retail in Canada. She discusses stepping into the leadership role previously held by industry icon Diane Brisebois, and explains why the grocery business remains one of the most misunderstood sectors in the country. Kim breaks down why Canadians often “see the shelf, but not the supply chain,” revealing the upstream pressures—from transportation and labour costs to energy prices and currency fluctuations—that shape food prices long before products ever reach store shelves. She also tackles some of retail's hottest issues, including algorithmic pricing, surveillance pricing concerns, the Grocery Code of Conduct, AI-driven supply chains, domestic sourcing, Buy Canadian momentum, and how retailers are preparing for a future defined by geopolitical disruption, economic volatility, and changing consumer expectations. We also hear about Michael's visit to Laurel Supply, a new bespoke grocery store in West Hollywood that could be the most beautiful grocery store in America, thanks to the amazing work of Kevin Kelley's Shook Kelley retail design firm.

Wind and solar resources are providing more clean, low-cost electricity to the grid than ever before, but the intermittent nature of renewable generation requires careful planning. In the latest episode of the Power Trends podcast, NYISO Director of Grid Transition Udayan Nair breaks down what the latest data reveals about wind and solar performance, and what it means for reliability in New York as electricity demand continues to grow.Notably, the electric grid has seen remarkable growth in behind-the-meter solar capacity in recent years, surpassing the solar goal in the state's Climate Leadership Community Protection Act (CLCPA).“We had a goal in CLCPA to reach 6000 megawatts by 2025,” Nair said. “We were at over 6,800 megawatts of capacity last year and it's grown by about 1,000 megawatts per year since 2020. That's a remarkable success in terms of the capacity that has been added to the grid.”Front-of-the-meter solar, which refers to grid-connected solar installments that participate in the NYISO's energy markets, has also seen increased capacity in recent years. While no new wind installments were added in 2025, existing units performed better than usual due to stronger wind patterns, Nair said. Nair discussed factors that contribute to renewable performance, including seasonal weather, demand patterns, and curtailments. He explained why solar and wind must be paired with transmission, storage, and flexible resources to keep the grid reliable, particularly during summer heat waves and winter cold snaps. The latest renewables data showcases the growing contribution of renewables in the current fuel mix and underscores the need for an all-of-the-above approach to development as New York's electric system continues to evolve. More resources: View the 2025 Renewables Report.Learn MoreFollow us on X/Twitter @NewYorkISO, LinkedIn @NYISO, Bluesky @nyiso.comRead our blogs and watch our videos

Carbon tax became one of the main bones of contention during the fuel protests two weeks ago, with the Government agreeing to pause the increase in carbon tax that was due on May 1st.But, how much does the Government make from carbon tax, and how is it spent?Peadar Tóbín, Leader of Aontú and TD for the Meath West asked the government this, and found that 61% of carbon tax revenue raised or €578 million, between 2020 and 2023 was not spent on climate-action schemes…He joins Ciara to discuss.

Rea Hederman of The Buckeye Institute examines the possible result of replacing Fossil fuels with more environmentally safe energy

As people continue to be impacted by the price of fuel, there have been calls for the carbon tax to be scrapped. However, if that were to happen, how would that impact Ireland's climate targets?Commentator John Gibbons speaks to Will O'Callaghan on The Last Word.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the piece.

Prices are starting to increase for the plastic wrap and twine that farmers will need to store grass silage feed through the year. Plastic is made using fossil fuel, which is increasing in price as a result of the war in Iran. We speak to Jack Cordery of Mole Valley Farmers who says supplies are already starting to tighten. With prices for fertiliser also rising because of the war, there are fears that a new carbon tax coming in in January could make things worse for farmers importing it. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism - or CBAM - will add import tax to products manufactured with less strict emissions regulations than we have in the UK. Jo Gilbertson of the Agricultural Industries Confederation says producers or importers who use lower emission fertiliser will not be penalised as much.All this week we're celebrating the UK's National Parks. Today we're in Dartmoor in Devon which has a wealth of treasures under the ground, with archaeological remains of international significance. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

At the end of March, the BC government quietly eliminated its Climate Action Secretariat. This is the long-running agency that produced and implemented climate policy across government ministries. The Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions says that although the Secretariat is gone, the cuts as a “reconfiguration.” To find out what's going on with BC's climate policy, we've contacted Sven Biggs, Canadian oil and gas campaign director for Stand.earth.

Canada's industrial carbon tax is set to rise again, and it's sparking a lot of debate about what that means for the economy. Critics argue it could lead to higher costs, reduced investment and pressure on jobs. Ross McKitrick, professor in the Department of Economics and Finance, specializing in environmental economics at the University of Guelph, joins the show to break down the real cost to Canadians of the industrial carbon tax.

April 1 is shaping up to be a consequential day for Canada's energy and economic landscape. Carbon pricing is set to rise for large industrial emitters in several provinces, raising big questions about competitiveness, investment, and emissions targets. At the same time, a key deadline hits for major resource and infrastructure projects (including those tied to Alberta-Ottawa agreements) putting the spotlight on regulatory timelines, political will, and whether Canada can actually get big projects built. 4:30 | Economist Dr. Andrew Leach digs into it all, in plain language, in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois tackle the biggest forces shaping Canada's food economy—from rising grocery prices and global conflict to policy debates and shifting consumer behaviour. The episode opens with a deep dive into the latest food and agriculture news. The hosts unpack the escalating geopolitical tensions involving Iran and their ripple effects on oil markets, fertilizer supply, and global food prices. While commodity increases remain moderate for now, the risk of further inflation looms as supply chain disruptions and higher input costs begin to cascade through the system. The conversation then turns to Canadian affordability. Despite wage growth of over 4%, food prices—particularly meat—continue to outpace income gains, leaving consumers feeling financially squeezed. Beef prices are up significantly, with chicken and pork also climbing, reinforcing the ongoing pressure at the grocery store. Michael and Sylvain also explore and respond to claims about the contentious carbon tax's impact on food prices, challenging the claim that it has minimal impact on food prices. Sylvain argues that indirect costs across transportation, packaging, and inputs create a ripple effect throughout the supply chain. Additional discussions include government policy decisions, temporary foreign worker adjustments for agriculture, and growing consumer frustration with tipping culture, as new data suggests many Canadians want fundamental change. The episode also touches on cultural and consumer trends—from ethical debates around lobster preparation to emerging food concepts like specialty butter shops—before closing the news segment with a tribute to a Canadian restaurant industry icon. The second half of the episode features a compelling interview with Brent Cator, President & Owner of Cardinal Meats, as the company celebrates 60 years in business and over a century of family legacy in the meat industry. Brent shares how Cardinal Meats has evolved into a national leader in protein innovation, supplying retail, foodservice, and industrial customers across Canada. He highlights the company's commitment to innovation, including pioneering commercial-scale sous-vide cooking, developing natural-textured burgers, and introducing advanced DNA testing for food safety. A major focus of the discussion is Cardinal's leadership in food safety and its role in shaping industry-wide standards in collaboration with regulators and academic institutions. Brent explains how trust, consistency, and customer-driven innovation have been key to long-term success. The conversation also explores sourcing strategies, including balancing Canadian and global supply to achieve quality and consistency, as well as the company's early leadership in plant-based proteins. Looking ahead, Brent offers insights into the future of food production, noting that while automation and AI will enhance logistics and decision-making, human expertise will remain critical in manufacturing. We wrap with the latest TikTok trend of making butter while running, and dedicate the episode to Edward Pottinger, co-founder of the landmark Caribbean restaurant The Real Jerk, who passed away last week.

In this episode, Michael dives into the Texas Senate runoff between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn. He shares his analysis of the primary polling and the surprising voting patterns in rural areas. Michael also touches on the national implications of the election, including the potential impact on the US Senate and the Save Act. Additionally, he discusses the global energy crisis, Vladimir Putin's threat to cut off gas supplies to Europe, and the consequences of the EU's anti-fossil fuel policies. The conversation also explores the reorganization of global economic and geopolitical relationships, including China's losses in the Middle East and the implications for the US.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois begin with their weekly conversation on the latest food and agriculture news shaping the global agri-food economy. The discussion covers geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the potential ripple effects on energy prices, transportation costs, and food inflation. The hosts explore how rising fuel prices could impact the cost of food production and distribution and how much money already strapped Canadians have to spend on food, while also discussing broader global trade implications for agriculture.  And maybe, just maybe, the upside to the war in Iran.  They also talk about the social media CEO burger-bit war between McDonalds and Burger King, and of course A&W! The episode also examines Canada's evolving international relationships, including new diplomatic and trade developments involving India and Australia, India being a critical growth market for Canadian agricultural exports. LeBlanc and Charlebois discuss the importance of pulses, grains, and other agri-food commodities in strengthening Canada's role as a global food supplier. They also look at new interprovincial agreements that could expand alcohol trade between Ontario and Nova Scotia, highlighting the potential for Nova Scotia's amazing wine and beverage producers to reach new domestic markets. The hosts round out the news segment with commentary on front-of-package nutrition labelling research and how such policies may influence consumer behaviour and long-term public health outcomes.  The conversation then shifts to an in-depth interview with Gavin Schneider, CEO and Co-Founder of Maia Farms, a Vancouver-based food technology company developing sustainable mushroom and mycelium-based protein ingredients. Schneider explains how Maia Farms originated from the Canadian Space Agency's Deep Space Food Challenge, which aimed to develop food production systems for future space missions. What began as a solution for astronauts has since evolved into a rapidly growing food innovation company focused on improving everyday food products on Earth. Schneider describes how Maia Farms operates primarily as a B2B ingredient supplier, partnering with food manufacturers to integrate mushroom-based ingredients into a wide range of products. These ingredients can replace or complement traditional proteins such as soy, pea, or meat while improving taste, texture, and nutritional value. The company's mushroom-based proteins are already being used in ready-to-eat meals, soups, snacks, and other packaged foods. A key differentiator for Maia Farms is its scalable distributed manufacturing model, which allows the company to partner with production facilities across North America rather than building capital-intensive factories. This strategy has enabled Maia Farms to scale quickly while remaining capital efficient. Schneider also discusses the emerging concept of balanced protein, blending mushroom ingredients with animal proteins to enhance flavour, nutrition, and sustainability while maintaining consumer familiarity. As the global food system seeks new ways to feed a growing population, Maia Farms believes mushrooms and fermentation-based proteins will play an increasingly important role.

A prominent Clare haulier is calling for a Dáil vote to be taken tonight to scrap Carbon Tax amid an expected rise in fuel costs. The Irish Road Haulage Association is predicting the price of petrol and diesel will soon soar above €2 per litre due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Speaking earlier this week, Micheál Martin has stated there should be no increase in fuel costs as Ireland's oil is sourced from the North Sea, and has pledged to engage with the Consumer Protection Commission. Former President of the IRHA Eugene Drennan however has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the Taoiseach is ill-informed.

A recent report from the Canadian Climate Institute expects Canada to fail in meeting its 2035 and 2050 emissions targets. It credits Ottawa for its reduction efforts, but says more carbon pricing policy, as well as provincial cooperation is needed for Canada to stay on track towards its targets.Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Ross Linden-Fraser, co-author of the report and research lead at the Canadian Climate Institute to discuss the policies the Carney government needs to implement to help Canada reach its targets, and the everyday things Canadians can be doing to help us get there.

Spending is outpacing revenue, and the budget gap isn't closing.At the same time, Australia is drifting off track on its emissions targets for 2030, 2035 and 2050.The Superpower Institute has a proposal: a revamped carbon pricing model it says could help fix both.Australians rejected carbon pricing more than a decade ago.The question now is whether the country is ready to reconsider? Guests: Ingrid Burford, Lead, Carbon Pricing and Policy, Superpower InstituteBen Potter, contributing Editor at The EnergySuperpower Institute: The Case for Pricing Pollution: Reducing emissions, strengthening the economy, and delivering a fair share for Australians

Electricity prices are rising across New York, and understanding what drives those costs has never been more important. In this Power Trends podcast, NYISO Vice President of Market Structures Shaun Johnson breaks down the factors shaping today's electricity supply charges and explains how wholesale markets produce the most cost-efficient solutions to meet consumer demand. Wholesale electricity supply costs have been climbing as natural gas prices — New York's primary fuel for electricity — have nearly doubled in the past year. Most of what customers pay goes toward utility delivery charges, taxes, and other non-supply components. Electricity bills can be confusing, but Johnson breaks down the two primary charges: The supply cost makes up approximately one third of your bill. The other two thirds are the retail rates your utility company charges plus taxes and fees.The physical composition of the gas pipeline infrastructure factors into retail delivery costs as well. Because New York and New England sit at the tail end of a pipeline network that originates in the Colorado Rockies and the Gulf Coast, delivery costs to northeastern states are among the highest in the nation.As the state moves toward greater electrification and new large loads emerge, demand is expected to keep growing. At the same time, aging generation and long lead times for new resources are tightening supply. These realities put upward pressure on prices too.“Our market philosophy has always been sort of simple,” Johnson notes, “how do we keep the lights on at the lowest cost via competition.”Check out the complete podcast to explore how wholesale markets function, what's driving today's costs, and how NYISO works to maintain grid reliability at the lowest cost — even when fuel prices surge.More resourcesPlease visit our new winter pricing resource page to explain what's behind rising costs.Learn More Follow us on X/Twitter @NewYorkISO, LinkedIn @NYISO, Bluesky @nyiso.com Read our blogs and watch our videos

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the implications of the carbon tax in Canada, arguing that it is financially burdensome for citizens and does not effectively address climate change. She highlights the economic struggles faced by Canadians due to rising costs and government policies that seem disconnected from the realities of everyday life. Kelsi calls for innovation and a reevaluation of current taxation strategies, emphasizing the need for policies that genuinely support the Canadian populace rather than impose additional financial strain.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Carbon Tax and Its Impact03:08 The Real Cost of Carbon Tax on Canadians05:55 Government Policies and Economic Consequences09:07 The Illusion of Climate Change Solutions12:00 The Need for Innovation Over Punitive Taxes14:49 Conclusion and Call to Action - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

New York's electric grid is at an inflection point. In the latest Power Trends podcast, Senior Vice President of System and Resource Planning Zach Smith unpacks two critical reliability reports recently issued by the NYISO: the Comprehensive Reliability Plan (CRP) and the 2025 Third Quarter Short-Term Assessment of Reliability (STAR).These studies reveal the grid's mounting challenges—from aging generation and accelerating power plant retirements to surging demand driven by electrification and large-scale industrial projects. Extreme weather and supply chain constraints add complexity in planning for the future, Smith says.He notes that assumptions over the next 10 years must also consider a reduced ability to depend on electricity imports from neighboring grids in the future.“We are part of the Eastern Interconnection and it's one of the most amazing machines in the world—it's the entire eastern half of North America,” says Smith, explaining that it has long been a key factor in supporting reliability. “However, our neighbors are experiencing these same strained conditions that we are.” To address these uncertainties, the NYISO is proposing to shift from a single forecast approach to one that considers multiple plausible futures to examine reliability under a range of scenarios. He highlights the urgent need for dispatchable resources to complement the build-out of renewables and energy storage, and the importance of projects like the Champlain Hudson Power Express for New York City and Long Island.Check out the full episode to learn how NYISO is adapting its planning process to maintain reliability during this pivotal moment. The current energy landscape requires an “all of the above” approach to generation, transmission, and demand-side solutions.Additional Resources:·        2025-2034 Comprehensive Reliability Plan (CRP)·        Short-Term Assessment of Reliability: 2025 Quarter 3 (STAR)Learn More Follow us on X/Twitter @NewYorkISO, LinkedIn @NYISO, Bluesky @nyiso.com Read our blogs and watch our videos Check out our Grid of the Future webpage

Episode 339 Humans are finally going back to the moon. NASA's Artemis II mission is set to launch in April, taking four astronauts in a loop around the moon. If it goes well, it'll set the stage for a lunar landing by Artemis III - bringing us closer to creating permanent settlements on the surface. And that's not all - SpaceX is planning to visit Mars this year as part of its plans to colonise the Red Planet. Plus, in May we might see the launch of a new American space station. Will these missions mark 2026 as the year that kick-started our spread off planet? GLP-1 weight loss drugs are set to get cheaper this year. The patent on semaglutide - the active ingredient in drugs like Ozempic - is about to run out, meaning more people will be able to access these hugely impactful medications. A pill version is also on the horizon, plus one upcoming drug that can cut body weight by a whopping 24 per cent. The first phase 3 trials of LSD are taking place this year. 55 years after being banned, the psychedelic drug is being tested once again for its ability to reduce anxiety and treat mental health conditions. Research suggests LSD can rewire your brain and relieve moderate to severe anxiety for at least three months. But will the trials prove its benefits outweigh any side effects? A carbon border tariff is being imposed by the EU - taxing imports of materials like steel from countries that aren't doing enough to keep their emissions down. The policy is a positive step for climate action and will help to make EU industries more competitive. And it looks like countries around the world are soon to follow suit.

We're closing out the year with our final podcast of 2025, looking back at the biggest stories and revisiting the predictions we made at the start of the year. How did we do? 2025 delivered volatility and plenty of surprises, along with a long list of developments with real consequences for energy, both clean energy and traditional oil and gas. We cover major policy shifts, including the election of the Mark Carney Liberals in Canada, the introduction of Bill C-5, the launch of the Major Projects Office, the Ottawa–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and growing political support for LNG. We also review changes in the United States, including tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which rolled back many of America's generous clean energy subsidies.  Another recurring theme this year was the surge in expectations for AI data center electricity demand—including in Canada, where three proposed projects in Alberta are moving closer to a final investment decision.It's been a whirlwind year. Jackie and Peter wish everyone a wonderful holiday break, and we'll return in 2026.Content referenced in this podcast:  The Hub.ca, Have we really hit peak oil?

Panel guests this week: Cory Morgan (columnist, Western Standard)  |  Chris Scott (activist, Alberta Prosperity Project) Today, we're looking at debate surrounding potential First Nations' vetoes of any new pipeline project following Alberta and Ottawa's signing of a memorandum of understanding that opens the door to new developments. Plus, alongside the agreement comes an industrial carbon tax hike, something Prime Minister Mark Carney has been boasting about. And finally, Premier Danielle Smith is backing Albertans' right to self-defence, with her governing United Conservative Party looking to roll out new legislation to protect those who defend their property from intruders. Special Guest: Lise Merle.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter share their insights on Canada's 2025 federal budget, released last week and expected to pass on November 17. They also briefly introduce the topic of COP30, which started the day they recorded, and Bill Gates' recent memo on climate.  They discuss several aspects of the budget, including the size of the deficit and debt, government plans to reduce day-to-day operating expenses, and several tax measures—notably, new Productivity Super Deduction and the updated accelerated capital cost depreciation rules for LNG, which are supportive, but still less generous than the Productivity Super Reduction. They also examine the introduction of new investment tax credits (ITCs) for clean energy. These incentives were largely anticipated, having been announced in the previous budget but never enacted. A major focus is the proposed Canada Climate Competitiveness Strategy, which aims to strengthen industrial carbon pricing while preventing carbon leakage. Jackie and Peter explore related policy commitments, including maintaining methane-reduction regulations and the Clean Electricity Regulation, along with signals of possible flexibility around the removal of the oil and gas emissions cap. However, they note that such flexibility may depend on the deployment at scale of carbon capture and storage, which remains uncertain.Content referenced in this podcast includes: Canada Budget 2025 Bill Gates Memo “Three tough truths about climate”  (October 2025) The Hub.ca article by Trevor Tombe “There's a big gap between rhetoric and reality” (November 2025) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Ross Garnaut is a vocal and influential advocate for strong climate action, particularly through market-based mechanisms like a carbon tax. 

For the month of August, we’re highlighting episodes from the 2024-2025 season of Energy Policy Now. We’ll be back with new content, and a new season, on September the 9th. Former Republican U.S. congressman Bob Inglis offers a conservative perspective on climate solutions in discussion with Penn climatologist Michael Mann. --- (This episode was recorded on February 13, 2025, during Penn Energy Week) Politically conservative and concerned about climate change? In this special episode of the Energy Policy Now podcast, Penn climatologist Michael Mann talks with Bob Inglis, former Republican Congressman from South Carolina and current executive director of RepublicEN.org, about bridging the partisan climate divide. In a wide-ranging conversation recorded live during Energy Week at Penn 2025 at the University of Pennsylvania, Mann and Inglis discuss a conservative view on climate change, how conservative messaging on climate has evolved over time, and how common solutions might be found in an era of partisan climate divide. Inglis also offers his view on carbon pricing and strategies to reign in carbon emissions in the U.S. The conversation is moderated by Sanya Carley, faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Bob Inglis is a former U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district. He is the executive director of RepublicanEn.org at George Mason University. Michael Mann is director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Important note on the conversation: Due to a technical problem, the first two minutes of Bob Inglis’ conversation are difficult to hear (from 5:40 to 7:40). We’ve transcribed those two minutes in the show notes, below, to make it easier to follow along. A full transcript of this and all Energy Policy Now podcasts is available on the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy website. Bob Inglis (5:40): Yeah, so for my first six years in Congress I said that climate change is nonsense. All I knew was that Al Gore was for it. And as much as I represented Greenville-Spartanburg South Carolina, that was the end of the inquiry. Okay, pretty ignorant. But that’s the way it was my first six years. Out of Congress six years, as you just heard, doing commercial real estate law again and then, had the opportunity to run for the same seat again before, our son had just turned 18, so he was voting for the first time, and he came to me and he said, dad, I’ll vote for you. But you’re going to clean up your act on the environment. His four sisters agreed, his mother agreed. New constituency, you know. So you got to respond to those people who can change the locks on the doors to your house, you know. So, very important to respond to these people. And so that was step one of a three step metamorphosis. Step two was going to Antarctica with the [House of Representatives] Science Committee and seeing the evidence in the iceberg drillings. Step three was another Science Committee trip and, um, really a spiritual awakening which seems improbable, right, on a godless Science Committee trip, because we all know that all scientists are godless. Right? Well, apparently not. Because this Aussie climate scientist was showing me the glories of the Great Barrier Reef. I could see he was worshipping God in what he was showing me. You know, St. Francis of Assisi supposedly said “preach the gospel at all times. If necessary use words.” So Scott Heron, this Aussie climate scientist who’s now become a very dear friend was doing that. I could see it in his eyes, it was written all over his face. It was in his excitement about what he was showing me. He was clearly worshipping God. So I knew we shared a world view. Forty words were spoken.

In Episode 40 of the Power Trends podcast, NYISO Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Emilie Nelson offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the grid was managed during June's heatwave, which brought record-setting temperatures across the Northeast. Nelson walks through the critical decisions and emergency measures that helped ensure adequate supply margins across New York. According to Nelson, forecasting, demand response, and a mix of energy resources—including solar and wind—helped manage the system during a period of sustained heat. The episode also covers the NYISO's new Grid Alert System, which communicated system conditions in real time. Energy Watch and Energy Warning alerts were issued to the public over the course of the three-day event when reserves dipped below 2,620 and 1,964 megawatts, respectively.Nelson also describes how the NYISO prepares for periods of high demand, and how coordination among neighboring grid operators plays a critical role in maintaining system reliability.Listen to Episode 40 of Power Trends to learn more about how the grid is managed during extreme weather events.
