Natural gas is a dying commodity, and Canada needs to stop supporting it
If governments around the world maintain the status quo in terms of energy policies, we’ll see peak global demand for coal, oil and gas before 2030 – and clean technologies will play a much stronger role. That's according to the latest analysis from the International Energy Agency, which recently released its annual World Energy Outlook, or WEO, report. For Canada, the IEA research confirms it's time for governments to heed the signals and end public support to the fossil fuel industry. This includes eliminating subsidies for liquefied natural gas expansion across the country.
