With Max Fawcett of Canada’s National Observer
What sorts of narratives about the energy transition are out there? Which ones are developed in good faith and which ones are developed in bad faith? Why is it important that we find the right balance between optimism and urgency? How can we have effective conversations with people who are resistant to the energy transition? Journalist Max Fawcett has long been on the energy beat, and he shares his insights on which narratives to embrace and which ones to avoid.
Guest:
Max Fawcett is the lead columnist for Canada's National Observer and the former editor of Alberta Oil magazine and Vancouver magazine. He worked in Alberta's Climate Change Office from 2017–19, and lives in Calgary today with his wife and son.
