Solar Seminar, October 22, 2010
Paul Gipe is an
award-winning veteran in the work of developing renewable energy
policies in North America. In 2004 he served as the executive
director of the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association and led the
campaign to adapt Europeanrenewable electricity economic
policies to the North American market. These policies, embedded
within the Ontario Green Energy Act, are now catalyzing economic
renewal in Ontario across multiple sectors, as has been the
experience in several European countries over this last decade. The
province of Alberta has a multitude of clean, renewable electricity
resources, which we generate on a small scale for our own use and in
our mix of energy exports. Paul Gipe has come to Edmonton to explain
this method for faster and wider deployment of renewable electricity
throughout an economy. Could Alberta join Ontario in creating
a new North American industrial revolution?
