Balancing Acts: Canada and the United States Boost Oil Production Alongside Clean Tech Investments
Balancing Acts: Canada and the United States Boost Oil Production Alongside Clean Tech Investments As of 2023, both countries have increased their oil and gas production, reaching record targets and profits. In December 2023, the US became the largest oil producer globally, with 13.5 million barrels of oil produced per day. In early 2024, Canada produced 4.9 million barrels per day, becoming the fourth-largest oil producer behind the US, Saudi Arabia, and Russia (Financial Post). Both countries are expected to hit new records in 2024, with 14 million bpd and 5.4 million bpd, respectively. The top-listed oil and gas producers in the US reported a combined net income of $313 billion in the first three years of President Biden’s term, three times the $112 billion generated during the same period under President Trump (Financial Times). In Canada, oil and gas corporations are also producing record revenues.

Want accelerated success? Focus on best case scenarios
Lets start with this ugly truth in life, and the sooner we accept it, the closer we get to success and happiness: We have no control over many of the things that happen in life. In today's “noisy” world, it's easy to get caught up in worrying about things beyond our control. We overthink, stress, and forget to simply breathe and project positive outcomes. For instance, why don’t we just step back and focus on finding joy every day?

Renewable Energy in the Middle East: A revolution in the making
The UAE, the 6th largest oil producer in the world was the first leading Middle East energy producer to host the Climate Conference of the Parties COP28. The global summit, attended by over 160 word leaders, was not only successful in bringing the decision makers together, but also succeeded in advancing 2050 NetZero negotiations (a near future with zero carbon emission). The UAE leadership is resulting in stronger climate mitigation actions and investment from energy producers. This new leadership is also based on a clearer understanding of the climate risk in the region, as MENA is one of the world’s regions most affected by climate change and variability (IAE 2023), both in terms of GDP losses and loss of competitiveness. This positive change is based in oil and gas rich Arab countries' visions documents, aiming to diversify their economies away from hydrocarbons.

As you seek excellence and impact in your life, the conventional wisdom often emphasizes the importance of doing good, striving for success, and achieving greatness every day. However, what if I told you that the key to unlocking your full potential is based not in doing more good, but in avoiding bad at all cost? This might sound counterintuitive, but research suggests that bad is more powerful than good (The Power of Bad) and avoiding it should be your primary focus. To give you an example, a newspaper article with a negative title gets read 7 times more than one with the same content but with a positive title. The loss of 50$ invested sticks around in our mind for much longer than 50$ we won.
