| 10/1/26 | Steven Guilbeault: A 'Fireside Exit Interview' | On September 17, Ed sat down with former Canadian Environment and Climate Change Canada minister Steven Guilbeault for what we called a "fireside exit interview." Steven spent more than three decades in Canada's environmental movement, then spent seven years in federal politics, four of them running Environment and Climate Change Canada.

| 11/20/25 | Sara & Ed - Help Us Reach Our Annual Listener Fundraising Goal | For us, delivering content about energy and climate is a labour of love – we put our time towards Energy vs Climate because we feel strongly about the public service benefit of the project. But there are costs for our producer, website, Ed’s manicures, and more. (OK one of those isn’t true.) That's why this show relies on the support of generous donors, like our listeners. Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to our annual donation campaign. Your generosity di... | 2m 06s | ||||||

Their decidedly non-spooky Halloween round-table discussion covered a lot of climate and energy ground, including the G7, critical minerals, carbon capture and storage, and oat milk cream liquor. (Well admittedly that last one is not a climate and energy topic, but if you listen you'll get the reference.)

They discuss the billions in future costs for decommissioning, remediation, and reclamation of oil and gas projects as well as the challenge in accurately quantifying government and public exposure to financial and environmental risk amid profound energy sector disruption. The question isn't whether these liabilities will materialize—it's who pays when they do. It's a lively and wide-ranging c... | 1h 01m 06s | ||||||
