Alberta Environment Minister Accuses Carney Of Disguising Climate Agenda As ‘Energy Superpower’ Push

Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz on Tuesday accused Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of hiding a clean energy transition agenda behind his campaign promise to make Canada an “energy superpower.”

Schulz is referring to a French-language interview where Carney said: “But when I talk about an energy superpower, I am talking about the energy transition process.”

“When the Liberals talk about ‘energy superpower’ they aren’t talking about building pipelines, or producing more Canadian oil and natural gas,” Schulz said on X. “They are using it as a political opportunity to once again push an uneconomical and forced energy transition no Canadian asked for.”

The Alberta minister likened Carney’s policies to “Trudeau 2.0,” comparing them to the former prime minister’s climate initiatives.

Carney, who previously served as Bank of England governor and UN special envoy for climate action, said earlier in his campaign that his energy plan includes establishing a Major Federal Project Office to streamline environmental assessments with a “one project, one review” mandate.

“We are going to aggressively develop projects that are in the national interest in order to protect Canada’s energy security, diversify our trade, and enhance our long-term competitiveness – all while reducing emissions,” Carney said in a statement at the time.

His campaign pledges also include developing a trade and energy corridor through a $5 billion fund for infrastructure to reach export markets.

Canada ships approximately 4 million barrels of crude daily to the United States, while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith plans to double the province’s oil and gas production in coming years.
