Public Discussion and Presentation
Come learn how Alberta can Green its Grid and what you can do to help.
Description
Albertans face a choice: Do we want to build a future with clean, efficient, sustainable electricity sources or do we want to continue using the old, wasteful, polluting systems that are increasingly obsolete?
The Pembina Institute will discuss the results of their ground-breaking study on the renewable electricity potential for the province of Alberta. They will discuss how renewable electricity can become the backbone of Alberta’s electricity supply in the next 20 years and the key decisions will need to be made to make clean electricity a reality.
