Amidst the trade wars, geopolitical and economic turmoil, Prime Minister Mark Carney is fast-tracking what he calls nation-building mega projects.

BUT "Instead of ‘building fossil fuel and mining mega projects,’ Evan Ferrari says we need to build 'decentralized megaprojects' that are “small hyper local projects thattogether add up to a massive megaproject.”

Evan Ferrari is the executive director of Emerge Guelph Sustainability, a local climate change action group in Guelph, Ontario.He says what's needed in 2025 are distributed nation-building mega projects that help Canadians, fight climate change, and build the economy of tomorrow, instead of building "fossil fuel and mining mega projects" that exacerbate the climate crisis and entrench the economy in yesterday.

Driven by the US trade war and Canada passed its Nation Building bill to fast-track nation-building projects to support economic and energy independence.

Monica Curtis of the Pembina Institute thinks we need to rethink the idea of nation-building mega projects and is proposing Canada launch a massive wave of building retrofit projects to support energy security, affordability for Canadians and to tackle one of the biggest boxes of greenhouse gas emissions - buildings.

She says this could create 200,000 jobs and $48 billion in economic activity and build the capacity and expertise we need to tackle the climate crisis and to build a future sustainable economy.

In Part 2 of our Green Energy Futures CKUA.com podcast, Reza builds his first net-zero home, and we follow his relentless pursuit of developing the most affordable net-zero home.

His work to design and build the simplest, most cost-effective net-zero design has gone from his first efforts in 2013 to today, when he has 100 net-zero homes in the works in Blatchford, Edmonton's Carbon Neutral Community.

It's an inspiring story which began when it was hard to sell net-zero homes that were ahead of their time to today when the building code is moving ever closer to a net-zero standard.

Nasseri's work has influenced the industry and the development of affordable net-zero homes.

This week we celebrate net-zero pioneer Reza Nasseri, the founder of Landmark Homes who made it his mission to build affordable net-zero homes.

This is our special double VIDEO episode of our CKUA.com podcast.

We trace Nasseri's roots from immigrating to Canada from Iran, inheriting a cultural penchant for waste not want not and energy efficiency.

From his beginnings with net-zero homes almost 16 years ago, he has relentlessly focused on producing the simplest, most cost-effective formula for building super energy-efficient net-zero homes and has influenced the entire industry.
