Canada Has No Problem With Renewable Energy

According to a presentation i just watched here at the CleanTechLA conference, there are 65,000 government employees in Canada working on air pollution control. I’m not sure what to make of this. Largely due to their incredible hydro resources,  their relatively small population and the integration of their grid with the U.S., a whopping 70% of their current grid-mix is non-emitting – soon to become 90%. Do they really have an air pollution issue?

Want to solve a problem?  Head to India,  where the mother of all pollution problems resides in their exploding consumption rate of coal.

Of course,  one could say that it’s up to india to solve its own problems, but I’m not sure that this thinking makes sense in today’s world.
