You can’t decouple economic growth from energy consumption. Building the future requires power. Look at the AI boom—global data center energy use is approaching 1,050 TWh because advanced computing requires massive upfront power. The broader economy works the exact same way. Critics panicking over short-term emission spikes lack a 10-year vision. Technology scales exponentially. With global clean energy spending at $2.2 trillion and clean tech driving 99% of new generating capacity, market dynamics will naturally cause emissions to recede as the infrastructure matures. We don’t solve global challenges with economic stagnation or austerity. We solve them by leaning into growth, building infrastructure, and letting innovation deliver the long-term efficiency that benefits everyone. #CdnPoli #EnergyTransition #MarkCarney #AIBoom #TechRealism #CleanTech #EconomicGrowth
