“Greening the Grid Part One”
http://madeinalberta.ca/greening-the-grid-part-one-flash.shtml
As the world gets ready for the Copenhagen climate
talks in December, Tim Weis of The Pembina Institute presents a
groundbreaking plan for reducing coal-fired electricity, while adding a
diverse mix of renewable power to our grid. We also air a short excerpt
from a previous interview with Dr. David Schindler.

Watch “Made-in-Alberta” on Shaw TV, cable 10 – better to catch the

Barb’s Field Notes: Go green! (No nukes!) Alberta Legislature, Tues.
Oct. 27, noon
gal·va·nize (gāl'və-nīz') tr.v. 1. To stimulate or shock with
an electric current.
I was looking for a word to describe the effect on my fellow Albertans
of the spectre of nuclear fission in our province. I think nuclear
fission has done well for some populations, but it is an expensive,
polluting, non-renewable energy source. Albertans are fossil-fuel
experts, sitting on vast renewable energy resources we have only begun
to tap. As we plan our new energy future, to know ourselves – intimately
– is the highest law.
