Snow melt flooded the bear’s hibernation den and it became stuck.
On a recent wintry day in Springhill, a fresh blanket of snow lies over the fields and buildings in the northern Nova Scotia community. But deep under the frosty ground, warm water is circulating through a network of tunnels and mine shafts. The former Springhill coal mine, a sprawling underground complex reaching depths of more than four kilometres, closed in 1958 after a series of fatal disasters. The mine eventually filled with water that's naturally heated by the Earth's core. For decades, t
Calgary-based Nauticol Energy Ltd. has confirmed it will not be moving forward with a proposed $4-billion net-zero blue methanol plant near Grande Prairie. The company had planned to build the plant in the County of Grande Prairie, about 10 kilometres south of the city. Announced in 2018, it would have begun operating in 2025. The plant would have created methanol from natural gas. In 2021, Nauticol announced plans to add carbon-capture technology. Nauticol president and CEO Mark Tonner said the
UPDATED 7:56 a.m. PT to correct a misspelling of Shannon McPhail's name. On a dreary gray day in late October, passers by gawked at a scene outside a hotel in Smithers, B.C. The charred remnants of several trucks sat in the parking lot in the wake of what police described as a “targeted attack” in the pre-dawn hours of the morning. Among the blackened wreckage were four police cruisers — marked and unmarked vehicles with the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group, a special task force assigned

Final testing on the Muskrat Falls transmission system begins anew Tuesday. If the tests succeed, the megaproject on Labrador's Churchill River will have finally crossed the finish line, albeit five years later than initially projected. However, in the case of another failure, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro will have to wait the better part of a year before trying again — a setback that would mean millions in added interest costs for the multibillion-dollar "boondoggle" whose price tag has near

A new row has erupted between France, Germany and Spain over nuclear energy, with Paris furious about a lack of support from Berlin and Madrid for its efforts to have nuclear-derived hydrogen labelled as 'green' in EU legislation, sources said. The dispute, which could block a multi-billion euro hydrogen pipeline from the Iberian peninsula via France to Central Europe, is also delaying Europe's green energy legislation and threatening to break out into the open at an European Union summit on Thursday.
Hundreds of used electric vehicle battery packs are enjoying a second life at a California facility connected to the state's power grid, according to a company pioneering technology it says will dramatically lower the cost of storing carbon-free energy. B2U Storage Solutions Inc, a Los Angeles-based startup, said it has 25 megawatt-hours of storage capacity made up of 1,300 former EV batteries tied to a solar energy facility in Lancaster, California. The project is believed to be the first of its kind selling power into a wholesale market and earned $1 million last year, according to Chief Executive Freeman Hall.
This winter parts of the UK have already been hit by freezing temperatures and heavy snow - but a weather event expected to take place in the coming days has sparked fears the country could soon face an icy blast. A major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event is "now likely", according to forecasters - and could bring the return of bitterly cold conditions before spring. Sky News weather producer Chris England says "sudden stratospheric warmings can lead to colder conditions over parts of the Northern Hemisphere through their interaction with the jet stream".
Just days after being hit by a brutal ice storm, Texas could experience more severe weather early this week.
Strong winds and heavy rain are possible for Toronto on Thursday after a warm up that saw temperatures swing from the negative double digits to spring-like plusses. Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the city, calling for 15 to 25 millimetres of rain and southwesterly gusts of 70 to 90 km/h from early morning through to the evening. The strongest winds are expected downwind of Lake Erie. The rain will begin over southwestern Ontario early Thursday, heading northeast th

One year after the Super Bowl season was marred by a ban on Mexican avocado shipments, another threat has emerged: An environmental complaint that avocado growers are destroying forests that provide critical habitat for monarch butterflies and other creatures. The complaint, filed with the trilateral Commission for Environmental Cooperation, part of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade accord, accuses the Mexican government of failing to enforce its own laws on deforestation, water conservation and land use. Avocado orchards grow at about the same altitude and climate conditions as the pine and fir forests in Michoacan, where migrating butterflies gather each year.
