Ottawa: So, the Canadian government just decided to push back its net-zero electricity target to 2050. They were originally aiming for 2035, but some provinces, like Alberta and Saskatchewan, said that was a bit too ambitious.

With the new clean electricity regulations out today, it looks like they’re expecting a lower reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than they thought before. It’s a big shift!

For six provinces, hitting that net-zero goal isn’t too tough since they’re already over 90% there. But Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick still depend on coal and natural gas for a big chunk of their power—between 30% and 85%!

This news was first reported by The Canadian Press, and it’s definitely a big deal for Canada’s energy future.
