“Greening the Grid Part Three”
http://madeinalberta.ca/greening-the-grid-part-three-flash.shtml
Replacing coal-fired electricity with renewable energy sources makes
perfect environmental sense. Tim discusses some of the economic factors
and new developments affecting this decision, while Albertans continue
to ask for efficient and renewable energy programs.

Join YouTube and comment on MIA (and a billion videos!)
When
you click the link in item #1 to watch this week’s episode, you will see
that we have put the YouTube version on there instead of the usual
Flash. This means you are actually watching the video streaming from
YouTube’s web site, playing through the “skin” of the RBCC/Made-in-Alberta
web site. If you click the YouTube icon on the bottom of the video, it
will transfer you to YouTube’s own web site – with this week’s episode
still playing. From there, you can log in and leave a comment, which we
will read and respond to. If you don’t have an account, it’s free and
easy to set one up. Problems?
Phone Bruce 24/7 at 780-964-5567.
(Some
businesses block YouTube on their networks. We’ll upload the Flash
version next week.)

Copenhagen: Climate Leadership, Economic Prosperity
The
Pembina Institute and David Suzuki Foundation studied how Canada can
achieve CO2e reductions of 25% below our 1990 level by the year 2020.
This is enough for the “2 degrees” global warming limit, which the IPCC
“hopes” will avoid catastrophic climate change after 2050. We can do
this - while growing our economy and improving our quality of life -
but strong government policies are required.
