We need to transition to a 21st-century economy with sustainable products produced by sustainable companies. And yes government incentives and welcome mats can go a long way to foster the changes we need. ...Let me leave you with two pictures for your minds eye. Elon Musk and his Tesla juggernaut have announced plans fora new Gigafactory to mass-produce batteries for the companys electricity powered vehicles. It could bring revolutionary changes to not only the auto sector but the solar energy world as well. The company issued a sketch of its vision of a plant, not in China, but somewhere in the U.S., powered by wind and solar energy. Thats the future. Now think of the Alberta tar sands. The massive oil project produces vast lakes of toxic sludge that are a catastrophe waiting to happen. As of last January, tar sands mining has disturbed 715 square kilometres of boreal forest. In 2012, 56 per cent of Canadas oil production came from the tar sands and a doubling of current production of the tar sands has been approved by Ottawa. Is that Canadas future? We can certainly do better.
