WE ALL HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARD MOTHER EARTH...

CANADIANS ENJOY A HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING underpinned by a reliable and secure supply of energy. Like many other countries, however, Canada is currently faced with some difficult decisions given the realities of climate change and the need to reduce emissions, as well as the finite nature of its fossil fuel supply. Even considering Canada's position as the second-largest hydropower producer in the world, 63% of its primary energy comes from fossil fuels. On an end-use, delivered energy basis, 76% is provided by fossil fuels, with only 17% provided by electricity. Canada is also a signatory to the Paris Agreement, and aspires to reduce emissions 30% from 2005 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Given the current status of Canada's energy supply, these are very aggressive targets. (www.energyoutlook.ca) 

If Canada is to meet its target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a significantly expanded non-emitting electricity grid will be needed to support increased use of electricity in transportation, buildings and industry. No matter who we are, where we are, and what we do, we all have a part in this.
