Issue 64 | Summer 2022

Welcome back to Fraser Insight, the Fraser Institute’s U.S. newsletter.

This summertime issue of Insight is highlighted by the hard work of our EFNA Network [[link removed]], which now enfolds 58 members in 47 states/territories, Canada and Mexico. In the past 10 months, the Network has added new partners in Georgia, Oklahoma, Montana, New York and Puerto Rico. Read more about the impressive impact of the EFNA Network in our In Print section, which features an article about the Network’s far-reaching influence and multifaceted work, along with op-eds and blogs covering the impact of lockdowns on our kids, the developed world’s fitful transition to post-carbon energy, the causes and consequences of inflation, and the dangers of mushrooming government debt.

Our In Focus section, which always showcases in-depth research and analysis, includes reports on the global mining industry (the U.S. boasts the most jurisdictions placing in the top 10) and energy development, as well as two fascinating interviews: one focusing on healthcare technology, the other on economic freedom and the wellbeing of women.

Finally, our In Context section showcases Fraser Institute researchers making headlines in leading media outlets across the country.

Can Canada Avoid Europe’s Energy Crisis? [[link removed]]

A combination of market forces and government policies is threatening global energy security as demand for oil and gas is expected to increase in the coming years without a commensurate increase in supply. Declining investment as a result of volatile commodity prices and aggressive climate policies, in combination with the West’s response to the war in Ukraine, risks limiting the world’s ability to supply this growing demand. The inevitable consequence of this supply and demand mismatch is an energy shortage that will lead to higher energy prices for a sustained period of time, hampering economic growth and increasing the cost of living.
