The solutions to curbing Canada's global warming emissions are available, and ready to go, but politicians are in the way. Even at this late date, as climate change effects are being seen all around us, Canada's emissions continue increase. We could have at least stabilised them by now....
For one example, until this month in Alberta, WIND POWER was limited by government decree. There was only "so much" allowed to be set up, despite several companies wanting to expand their wind turbine electricity production.
Another example is ELECTRIC CARS. If Canadians were able to purchase and drive electric cars, we could actually be reducing our emission by now. Instead of helping get Canadians into these pollution-free vehicles [depending on where the electricity comes from, but much reduced emissions in any case], governments are not allowing electric cars built right here in Canada to be licensed for the roads.
"Limited speed vehicle licensing" is the hold up... for city driving, they are perfect, and thats where much of the vehicle emissions comes from in Canada, obviously. High speed electric cars could be produced too,with a little encouragement for government like the help they are giving Oshawa to produce Camaros!! - and it adds a layer of economic activity which would be a bonus, not a problem, to the economy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Canadian produced electric cars!! [who knew??]
