The view of our members has always been and continues to be that the future is going to be one where an all-of-the-above approach will be required.
Because there are different resource opportunities in different regions, each region is going to have to look at what its opportunities are for non-emitting or lower-emitting energy resources. A doubling of demand is going to mean that we'll have to essentially double down on nuclear. We'll have to double down on hydro, wind, solar, storage, energy efficiency and interconnections.
The other thing we need to recognize is that we have 31 transmission interconnections between Canada and the United States. Historically, the bulk of the trade in electricity has been north-south. Much less of it is east-west. We're not advocating for a line that goes from one coast to the other, but greater regional co-operation and collaboration is going to be part of this mix as well, to meet the challenges of the future. We think the federal government has a role to play in acting as a convenor and, in some instances, in helping to facilitate some of the build-out that's going to be required on a regional basis for more transmission.
