  • Pipeline to west coast

    Excellent podcast, I listen regularly and it’s very informative.

    One request: The host said there would be a significant benefit to Canadians if pipeline capacity to the West Coast was increased, but he didn’t quantify or say what that benefit is. Please tell us what the benefit is, and explain it. Please mention this regularly to improve everyone’s understanding.

  • Iran War, Oil Prices, and Canada Implicatons

    I have listened to ARC Energy Ideas for many years and have appreciated the thoughtful discussions about Canada’s energy sector. Lately, though, I find it harder to listen. It just makes me really sad.

    In recent episodes there seems to be a great deal of optimism about the future of Canadian oil and gas production, but much less discussion about emissions and climate change. Earlier in the podcast’s history there were more conversations about ESG, renewables, and the broader energy transition. ... more

  • In the pocket of Big Oil

    Biased out of the gate, and builds its own echo chamber by speculating and cherry picking data. Weak “scholarship”, but the worst part of this is How Boring they are. If you like listening to biased, bland, ill informed “hosts” who sound slow even at 1.5x, then this podcast is for you…if you can stay awake.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BC’s Energy Superpower Plan
Q: How do you see this growth objective in natural gas playing out, given the uncertainties of very low price, the uncertainties potentially of the price of natural gas itself?
Muir says the production targets should be understood in their political context: the Conservatives wanted to make the source of gas and the Montney's potential explicit. He argues that removing obstacles and making royalties competitive could encourage investment and bring drilling rigs back to British Columbia.
BC’s Energy Superpower Plan
Q: What kind of major changes are you expecting to see in the government at large that would allow resource development to move more quickly, as is stated in this energy superpower plan?
Muir says Clean BC bundled more than 20 emissions-reduction policies that affected resource development, while electricity shortages have also constrained investment. He expects the new government to consider a broader mix of power sources, including natural gas.
Election Updates and a Conversation with Jigar Shah at ETC
Q: So describe with the data center build out why you think it's being done the dumb way.
Shah says data centres should be located where grid capacity is available, rather than concentrated in places that require expensive upgrades. He also recommends community battery programs to manage peak loads and build social support.
Election Updates and a Conversation with Jigar Shah at ETC
Q: Do you think that's actually going to happen?
Shah expects electricity demand to grow, but argues that efficiency, batteries and shifting demand can reduce how much additional generation and grid capacity is needed.
The Battery Race: A Conversation with Bob Galyen
Q: Tell us about your shirt. It says, BBE.
The shirt symbolizes the Big Battery Energy concept, emphasizing how batteries power nearly every aspect of modern life—from cell phones to grid infrastructure—and underscores the conference's focus on the central importance of battery technology.
