He helped build the foundation of Canada’s LNG industry. Now he’s warning what happens if we don’t act.

In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir sits down with David Keane, former President of the BC LNG Alliance and Woodfibre LNG, to unpack the global rise of liquefied natural gas—and why Canada is falling behind.

With decades of experience in international energy, Keane offers a candid take on everything from Indigenous partnerships to emissions intensity, investor confidence, and the cost of political delay.

• What’s stopping Canada from becoming a global LNG player?
• Why is U.S. gas dominating the market?
• And what happens when our resources are sold at a discount—while the world still needs them?

If you care about responsible development, economic opportunity, and climate realism, don’t miss this one.

Canada could lead the world in clean aviation but will we? In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir sits down with Geoffrey Tauvette, head of the Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, to explore how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) could revolutionize the industry, if we can overcome the cost, policy, and infrastructure hurdles.

With 810,000 Canadian jobs tied to aviation and growing demand for low-carbon travel, the stakes are high. Jeff explains why Canada has all the right ingredients, abundant feedstock, refinery capacity, and global partners, yet still lags in building a domestic SAF market.

We break down:

• What SAF is (and why it matters for climate)
  
  
• How airline economics and public expectations collide
  
  
• Why BC's "climate leadership" may backfire
  
  
• What Canada must do to stay competitive in global aviation
  
  
  

This is the conversation aviation, climate, and energy leaders need right now.

Don’t miss this deep dive into one of Canada’s most urgent energy debates.

In this revealing episode of Power Struggle, host Stewart Muir sits down with Barry Penner, former Attorney General of British Columbia and Chair of the Energy Futures Institute, to examine the growing gap between EV policy and real-world implementation.

British Columbia has some of the most ambitious electric vehicle mandates in North America aiming to phase out the sale of internal combustion engines by 2035. But beneath the headlines, serious challenges are emerging: Not enough EVs on lots

- Charging access in condos and rural areas
- Power grid pressure and infrastructure lag
- Rising costs for used vehicles
- Regulatory speed bumps for consumers and industry

With decades of political and legal experience, Penner outlines what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change fast to make the energy transition fair, functional, and future-proof.

Whether you drive electric, gas, or don’t drive at all, this is a critical conversation about what sustainable transportation really requires.

🎙️ A new season of Power Struggle begins, with new voices, bold questions, and Canada’s energy future in focus.
