In January 2024, temperatures in Alberta dropped to -50°C. The electricity grid sent out alerts. Demand skyrocketed. So what kept homes warm?
Stewart Muir is joined by Greg Caldwell, Director of Policy and Advocacy at ATCO Gas, for an inside look at the cold snap that put Canada's energy system to the test.
They break down the physics of energy delivery, why batteries can't replace pipelines, and what the rest of the world can learn from this chilling wake-up call.
🎧 You’ll learn:
• What really happened during Alberta’s January energy crunch
• Why natural gas played a critical role — and what that means for climate goals
• The global consequences of Canada saying “no” to LNG
