Mar 19, 2009CanGEA speaking with NRCan and Environment Canada
CanGEA has been increasing geothermal awareness at the federal level. Last week, CanGEA Chairman and Executive Director Alison Thompson and Board Member Craig Aspinall met with a dozen representatives from NRCan in Ottawa to discuss Canada’s massive geothermal resource potential as well as the need for support to “kick-start” the industry. Geothermal energy could be the cornerstone to the 90% non-emitting power goals set by the federal government for 2020.
Alison Thompson will also be meeting with representatives from Environment Canada at Minister of Environment Jim Prentice’s Calgary office to discuss geothermal in Canada’s clean energy future.
