Renewable energy, wind energy specifically, is the country's fastest
growing energy source, as fossil fuels for power generation become more
expensive and as resistance to polluting emissions intensifies. Wind is
abundant, inexhaustible, non-pollutant and widely distributed. Natural
Resources Canada estimates that Canada has almost 30,000 MW of developable
wind resources, enough to supply 15% of Canada's energy supply. The Federal
Government has pledged to source 20% of its energy from renewable resources.
Provinces across Canada are now selecting projects for new wind capacity. In
2004 more than 1,400 MW of capacity was awarded for long-term power purchase
agreements by provincially owned utilities.
Since the fuel is free, with further economies of scale and technology
innovations, wind power is becoming less expensive than developing new hydro,
nuclear and fossil fuel plants.
