This week, a barn burner of a report was released into an increasingly flammable world by Clean Energy Canada, a non-profit think tank based out of Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University. The report revealed that Canada’s clean energy sector is growing faster than the rest of the country’s economy. It turns out that the clean energy sector—arguably the unsexy sector that we don’t even notice—grew a full third, percentage-wise, more than the wider economy between 2010 and 2017.
In the words of Merran Smith, executive director of Clean Energy Canada, “Put simply,” the green sector is “made up of companies and jobs that help to reduce carbon pollution—whether by creating clean energy, helping move it, reducing energy consumption, or making low-carbon technologies.” The aim of the report is to raise the profile of our humble clean energy sector. There’s affordable, indeed exportable, innovation in them thar hills and it would benefit us, and not just the planet, to pay more attention to what’s on offer and in development.
The family doesn’t own vast tracts of land in Texas, or anything. Instead, their fortune is rooted in the fact that their shoulder pads all have solar panels mounted on them and each shoulder produces enough clean, sustainable energy to power the titular city, Surrey.
Lotsa deep pockets in fossil fuels. Initial start up costs are high, they want to squeeze every penny out of cheap pollution causing energy.
Because solar and wind are intermittent and unreliable. Great if you only need unreliable power source. Sorry, no drive your car today, battery dead, just go to work next day or so and your employer will pay you anyways
Because our news media does not report on the success stories.
Because ideology reigns supreme over logic and pragmatism
Because it doesn’t actually do any of that nonsense and bullshit Tabatha is peddling. Is she going for a new Fake News status, maybe even reaching for the Queen of Fake News title?
because the power it creates is subsidized by taxpayers and ridiculously expensive
Because it's a lie? Because Germany proved it's a lie? Because you have a hard time telling the truth? About anything?
Perhaps it is because you print lies and publish bullshit articles about Conservative politicians being Canada's saviour, with their stand that only Bitumen can fuel our economy? What was that front page cover again?cdnpoli
Has this been irrefutably proven? Windmill murders birds and look awful on the landscapes.
What is the investment breakdown? Government vs Private? I don't get to excited about no renewable tax dollar investment.
Responsible O&G production is apart of the clean energy solution. why not? some countries are 30 years behind in standards and regulations.
The bulk of this is Hydro and Nuclear. Hydro always existed and luckily Canada has an abundance, the grid is a mess and needs to catch up. Nuclear isn't exactly pollution free now is it? The back end pollution on electric vehicles isn't exactly pretty. Still better than Coal.
because we are so hooked on oil ! i cant afford an electric. do you drive a gas car ? i just sold my truck
It's not green. It will never supplant petrochemical industries in our lifetime's. Stop with the brainwashing already.
Canada wallows in its own image as drawers of water and hewers of wood. It still has an industrial policy primarily premised on Sifton immigration policies of Liberal governments. Sad.
Invisible!?
Because at the same time you vilify and debase oil & gas. Create climate BS emergencies. Less uptake due to higher prices to “do the right thing” for the environment. Yeah. Shove it 💪🏻
Back of the line. Clean energy is an opinion Oil and Gas invests billions into high-tech enviro solutions &should get some care too😍, for all the jobs provide including a spin off of in other industries & actually provides real cash transfer payments to less fortunate provinces
