Renewable Energy in Canada

“Renewable energy sources could provide the equivalent to today’s production of both thermal and nuclear power combined.” While such a claim might be expected from environmentalists, this conclusion came from the

Clean Air Renewable Energy Coalition, a unique alliance of Canadian corporations (including energy producers Shell Canada, BP Canada, and Suncor Energy), municipalities, and environmental organizations. The coalition recently published a report, “Vision for a Low-Impact Renewable Energy Future for Canada,” as part of a campaign to encourage “long-term, broad, market and government incentives that will transform green types of electricity from a ‘niche’ player in the marketplace to a commonly utilized electricity source.” The report is at www.cleanairrenewableenergycoalition.com for further reference.
