Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted Canada will miss its upcoming greenhouse gas emission targets, stating the old plan was unsustainable. He announced a new energy plan, aiming to make Canada an energy superpower. Meanwhile, Quebec has unveiled an $87 billion plan to increase renewable energy use to 77% by 2050. This story highlights conflicts between national climate goals and energy policy, as well as provincial efforts. Readers should watch for details on Carney's new plan and how it addresses emissions, and if Quebec's ambitious goals are met.
