The balancing act of oil and clean energy investment
Last year, both the United States and Canada have increased their oil and gas production, reaching record targets and profits. In fact, in December 2023, the U.S. became the largest oil producer globally, with 13.5 million barrels of oil produced per day (BPD). In early 2024, Canada produced 4.9 million barrels per day, becoming the fourth-largest oil producer behind the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Both countries are expected to hit new records in 2024, with 14 million bpd and 5.4 million bpd, respectively.

Why the 2024 Solar Eclipse is Such a Big Deal. Content Warning.
The 2024 solar eclipse is highly anticipated due to its remarkable cosmic alignment, involving the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Despite the vast disparity in size between the Sun and Moon, a fortuitous celestial coincidence allows them to appear almost identical in size from Earth's perspective. As a result, when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, it creates a solar eclipse, an awe-inspiring event that captivates observers worldwide.

The power of the sun
The sun, an infinite source of energy, has powered life on Earth for billions of years. From providing warmth and light to the growth of plants and animals, the sun is truly the giver of life. But in recent years, humans have learned to harness the power of the sun for another purpose: energy. Solar power is quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional energy sources, and for good reason.
