Next RPIC Meeting - Tuesday, January

The Green Energy Project Saskatchewan's
goal is to create a comprehensive, technically sound plan to transform
Saskatchewan's electricity grid to run on renewable energy sources
in a way that will also be economically and socially beneficial
for our rural, urban and First Nations communities.
Climate change and peak oil are the defining challenges
of the 21st Century. Saskatchewan, with its sunny weather, abundant
wind resource, and existing hydro-electric capacity, is well-placed
to meet these challenges -- yet we currently have the highest
greenhouse gas emissions per capita (70 tonnes/person/year) of
all Canadian provinces! We can do so much better.
Five reports have been completed with topics ranging
from rationale for action, to renewable alternatives to the policy
needed to get us there. All five report are available at http://www.greenenergysask.ca
