Canada’s On the Map With Wind Power
OK so some quick but good news to get the week started off. First off, did anyone watch the Nature of Things with David Suzuki last night? Great show and he was with is daughter in Germany looking at the eco-strides that country is taking.
Keeping that in mind, a little news regarding a country that has been lacking but should be leading in environmental reform, Canada. Canada’s Melancthon EcoPower Centre opened on October 30 after three years of construction. The country’s largest wind farm is located near Shelburne, Ontario and has a capacity of 199.5 MW. The EcoPower Centre is just one of three Ontario-based wind projects to go online within the next two months. Alberta and Quebec also have smaller wind farms and ongoing projects. By the end of the year, all three areas combined will be producing 1,917 MW of wind power.
Great to see, but I want to see more of it from the great white north. So click here to learn more and hopefully we can expect more positive news in the future from Canada.
Keep it Green,
Paul
