MISSION TRANSITION
CLEAN ENERGY AND BEYOND
“We’re in a climate emergency, and to address it we need nothing short of a rapid and wide-reaching transition. Sierra Club BC’s podcast Mission Transition: Clean Energy and Beyond asks some of the big and critical questions this transition brings, with insightful commentary from a spectrum of voices on how we might reimagine our energy future. This series is worth a listen.” – Lisa Helps, Mayor of Victoria
Nearly every day now, we hear of some new innovation moving the world toward clean energy. For many of us, this means installing solar panels, buying an electric vehicle or maybe giving up the car altogether.
But this transition raises many questions most people haven’t even started to consider. What actually counts as clean energy? Who should make decisions about how it’s produced—and how do these projects impact communities? How do we need to rethink land use in a clean energy economy?
Sierra Club BC’s podcast Mission Transition: Clean Energy and Beyond dives into these questions and more with interviews from thinkers and doers who are all passionate about making the transition happen.
Mission Transition is hosted by award-winning former CBC journalist Susan Elrington along with Caitlyn Vernon, Campaigns Director with Sierra Club BC. Subscribe for free today on Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcast app.

How much money are you spending to subsidize the fossil fuel industry?
A lot, it turns out! Federal subsidies to oil and gas corporations have been pegged at $3.3 billion per year. Yes, you read that right. And the BC government offers provincial subsidies to oil and gas corporations to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, in the form of royalty reductions.
What else could we do with that money? How about building the infrastructure to move away from fossil fuels altogether, and supporting communities through this transition?
The new BC government promised to make climate solutions a priority. Now’s the time for action to end massive handouts in subsidies to the oil and gas industry, and invest in the clean energy economy instead.
Please send a letter calling on Premier Horgan and BC’s environment and energy ministers to keep their promise to move BC toward a green economy with well-paying jobs across the province:
