The Gospel of Green: CBC Fifth Estate Video
Filed Under Germany, Renewable Energy, Video | Leave a Comment
As the world confronts the reality of global warming and the inevitable end of oil, the questions of what to do and how to sustain energy without oil or fossil fuels becomes more urgent. Bob McKeown and a fifth estate team travel to Germany to meet Hermann Scheer, called “Europe’s Al Gore,” a parliamentarian who is leading the way to increase Germany’s reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power.
To date, 15% of Germany’s energy comes from renewable sources. Scheer estimates that if Germany continues on this course, by 2030 that will be 100%. So, if one of the world major industrialized nations can achieve this, why can’t a country like Canada? The answer may lie in the fifth estate’s investigation of the influence, in this country, of conventional energy industry on politicians.

Filed Under Website | Leave a Comment
Thanks for visiting, currently I’m focused on two campaigns:
Internationally on the adoption of a new International Renewable Energy Alliance that will help all countries on the adoption of renewable energy
and here in Ontario on the implementation of an innovative Green Energy Act that aims at creating thousands of new jobs by replacing the use of polluting fuels
Please return soon to this site as it will soon have a new look and lots of additional useful information.
