The provincial government has released a consultation paper on the proposed Feed-In Tariff, and public input is invited by September 30th. Many questions arise. Will it work for ocean energy? Will it stimulate BC’s geothermal sector? Why have solar and wind energy been left out?

Join us for our September Climate & Energy Solutions Webinar on B.C.'s proposed Feed-in Tariff, featuring:
Guy Dauncey, President of BC Sustainable Energy
Chris Campbell, Executive Director of the Ocean Renewable Energy Group
Alison Thompson, chair and founder of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association.

It’s all very dispiriting. The Copenhagen climate conference collapsed in a mess. The climate deniers are succeeding in convincing people that global warming is a hoax; and because of their success, there will be no legislation to tackle climate change in America this year. This means that the December UN climate talks in Cancun will probably result in failure too.

New ideas are needed, not for the solutions, but for the way we tackle the problem. In this one-hour webinar, Guy Dauncey will present Seven Ideas to address this critical matter.  

Many homeowners and commercial building owners would like to make their buildings more energy efficient, but the financing has always been an obstacle. One of the hottest new ideas to tackle this is Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs.

Our presenters for this Climate and Energy Solutions Webinar were Johanna Partin, Director of Climate Protection Initiatives in the Office of Mayor Gavin Newsom of the City of San Francisco, and David Ramslie, Manager of the City of Vancouver's Sustainable Development Program.

Where should BC’s future transmission lines be built? Should they go wherever there is potential new renewable energy to be brought to the grid? And how can this be balanced with the need to protect wilderness and critical habitat areas? This Energy Solutions Webinar looked at two important planning processes, presently underway, which will influence government policy.
