About Renewable Energy
A good piece of advice has always
been to “diversify” to protect your future. A farmer protects his farm
income against falling wheat prices when he also plants canola. An
investor protects her retirement funds when she includes investments from
different industries in her portfolio.
Diversifying is also a good
strategy for tomorrow’s energy portfolio. At a time when climate change is
heralding less water, more wind and more sun, we need to look at our
energy through a new lens. The balance of energy sources tomorrow is
changing and creating new opportunities.
Renewable energy developers know
that wind, solar and run-of-the-river power will never replace large-scale
hydro projects or all carbon-sourced energy. We do believe that a
combination of all these traditional energy sources, will contribute to
stabilizing the power system while simultaneously cutting harmful
emissions.
This is much more than a good
idea. With the balance of energy sources changing all around us, this
vision creates long-term sustainability and an energy future we can count
on.
