Is renewable energy cost-effective? That is the question at hand in this episode as there was an article written by members of the Fraser Institute suggesting that renewable energy will cost more. Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada had some thoughts on the article and wanted to be sure that he cleared some things up about it.
In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Angelo sits down with Mark Zacharias, the Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. They dive deep into the rapidly evolving world of renewable energy, addressing common misconceptions and outdated narratives that continue to shape public perception.
Mark shares insights on a recent article from the Fraser Institute that claims renewable energy will be more expensive than anticipated. He refutes this argument by highlighting advancements in technology and successful case studies from around the globe, including South Australia and various U.S. states.
The discussion also covers the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on the grid, the efficiency of heat pumps, and the role of carbon pricing in driving down emissions. Mark emphasizes the importance of planning and innovation in creating a reliable and affordable clean energy future.
