Doug Ford's decision to allow US-style tailgating at sports games in Ontario has Saskatchewan buzzing as well. Gene Makowsky, minister for SLGA as well as Parks, Culture, and Sport, is the man who could make it happen. He said he'd be open to the idea if stakeholders came forward, and since then the idea has been strongly supported by the Saskatchewan Rush and the University of Regina Students' Union. MADD didn't object to the idea either, if enough safety measures were in place. So what needs to happen before we see beer and BBQ outside sports games in this province?

Is the world on the cusp of an energy revolution as scientists and politicians urge a shift away from hydrocarbon-based energy and technological advancements improve green technologies? It sounds really positive, but it's a totally unrealistic claim according to Mark Mills, of the Manhattan Institute. In his recent paper “The ‘New Energy Economy’: An Exercise in Magical Thinking,” Mills points out that 84 per cent of the world's energy is still sourced from hydrocarbons while only 2 per cent is provided by wind, solar, and battery power. Mills says the idea of a "new energy economy" hinges on the false belief that green technologies are advancing at a rate similar to computing and communications tech, which would dramatically lower their cost and improve their efficiency. Mills joins John now to discuss the real future of the world's energy economy.
