New Brunswick environmental activists are reacting with alarm to Prime Minister Carney’s announcement of a National Electricity Strategy that promotes the burning of natural gas to help double Canada’s supply of electrical power by 2050. Read the story HERE by Bruce Wark in the NB Media Co-op.
Not mentioned in the story but of particular concern to CRED-NB is the electricity strategy’s focus on nuclear energy instead of renewable energy to power electricity grids, although the strategy contains no specific details. The federal government announced that a national nuclear energy strategy will be released before the end of 2026.
