Episode description

As Canada’s trade war with the US rumbles on, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced ambitions for the country to become an "energy superpower" in clean electricity, oil and gas. Supporters say it could boost jobs and investment, but critics warn it may come at an environmental cost.

We’ll hear about the projects underway, the challenges that could hinder them, and look at how other countries have achieved ‘superpower’ status.
