    Episode 45: The Case for Natural Gas

    2026-05-27 | 47 mins.
    In this episode, we sat down with Cody Brookwell, Director of Sales and Business Development at Clean Energy Fuels, to discuss how the Cummins X15N engine became a pivotal "gap-closing" moment for heavy-haulers, why the "unofficial decision-makers"—the drivers—are embracing a quieter, odourless ride, and the operational lessons learned from running 100 trucks in one of the world's most demanding environments.

    Episode 44: The Current Clean Tech Investment Climate

    2026-04-13 | 45 mins.
    The clean tech "mini gold rush" is over — and the rules have completely changed.
    In this episode of Carbon Copy, Justin Riemer (CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta) sits down with Peter Tertzakian, one of Canada's most respected energy economists and Founder of Studio.Energy. Peter breaks down why AI and electrification have overtaken environmental policy as the dominant forces reshaping clean energy investment, how Canada is caught in an economic "sandwich" between the U.S. and China, and why we keep repeating the same boom-and-bust cycles in energy technology.
    He also makes a compelling case for why the smartest path to emissions reduction isn't cleaning up the mess — it's preventing it in the first place.
    A sharp, honest conversation about where the money is really moving, and what that means for Alberta's innovators.
