Ontario to Lead the Energy Revolution in North America?


Ontario is making progress and headlines.

The province has introduced cap and trade and is keeping up with its GHG emission reduction plan. The Green Energy Act is moving forward and could become an example to North America of how to reduce climate change and produce jobs.

This is a crucial point in climate change decision making. Next week the Copenhagen Conference (COP15) will bring together world leaders to discuss and set climate change efforts. The goal is to create a framework for climate change mitigation beyond 2012 that all participating nations can accept and follow. This is a highly anticipated conference that many want concrete results from.
