JAcK Digital Media's insight:
In short, Canada’s clean-technology industry is awash in red ink. Its firms, and the know-how and intellectual property (IP) they hold, are vulnerable to foreign takeovers. Despite unprecedented interest and engagement from provincial and federal governments, Canada’s low-carbon Renaissance is very much on the ropes. The sector needs smart new policy from the public sector and engagement from Bay Street to build markets for low-carbon solutions, unlock private finance, and secure the prosperity that should accrue from investment in low-carbon innovation,

Energy efficiency has been on the wane for the past decade, but Canada has been slow to keep up The International Energy Agency reports that energy intensity, the energy used to generate a unit of gross domestic product, fell by 1.8 per cent in 2016. According to recent data from the National Energy Board, Canada is …

Last week DeSmog Canada published a video about the Site C dam on Facebook that — after generating nearly 120,000 views in 36 hours — was suddenly removed due to a complaint lodged by True North Entertainment, a B.C. government contractor. The video, Cutting Through the Spin on the Site C Dam, featured an interview with Harry Swain, chair of the provincial-federal panel responsible for reviewing the controversial hydro dam. Swain, a high-profile critic of Site C, explained why he thinks it’s a mistake to build the dam and how the B.C. government has changed its story over the years to justify the $9-billion project, the most expensive public infrastructure project in the province’s history. The five-minute video featured footage almost exclusively filmed by DeSmog Canada but also included some small selections of b-roll footage from the Province of B.C.’s YouTube page.

FUSION ENERGY WORKSHOPS Only a few seats left in Edmonton and Calgary https://abctech.ca/uploads/files/Fusion%20Energy%202013/Agenda%20for%20Fusion%20Workshops.pdf
Canada is the only developed nation without a fusion energy research program. Yet fusion as an emerging energy source continues to attract significant public and private interest on a global scale the The Alberta Council of Technologies is assessing the status of major fusion energy research and its commercial implications for Alberta with support from Alberta Energy and Stantec, the City of Edmonton and the University of Alberta. The study is engaging teams visiting research sites in Europe, Asia and North America. Preliminary results will be available this fall for workshops in Calgary and Edmonton in October and a follow-on international forum to be held in Edmonton in late November. The Forum is to help formulate the role Alberta and Canada may play in helping advance the development and commercialization of the emerging technology. In preparation for the Forum the Alberta Council of Technologies is hosting workshops in ... Calgary, Friday October 25th at Alberta Innovates - Map Edmonton, Saturday October 26th at Alberta innovates - Map The workshops will be of interest for companies and research organizations that have an interest in advanced research and the commercial applications of fusion energy in a host of fields from lasers and photonics, to engineering and construction, analytics and materials science. The workshops will provide highlights of the study, identify Alberta's research and corporate interests, and discuss how to keep companies and research associates in Alberta up-to-date on the commercial status of the research for the benefit of Alberta and Canada. This email is to solicit the names and contacts for organizations that are interested in receiving an invitation to the workshop in either Calgary or Edmonton. The workshop rationale and agenda now follows: FOR THE WORKSHOP AGENDA CLICK HERE Please reply or contact either of us with your questions and the basis for your expression of interest to attend either the workshop at AITF's facilities n Calgary or the one in Edmonton.
