Energy vs Climate: How climate is changing our energy systems
Energy vs Climate is a live, interactive webinar and podcast where energy experts David Keith, Sara Hastings-Simon and Ed Whittingham break down the trade-offs of the energy transition in Alberta, Canada, and beyond. It's your no-nonsense take on a messy, high-stakes topic: news, analysis, and conversations with guests from industry, government, and civil society. You won't always agree with us, but if you care about where our energy system is headed, this is for you.
