Ontario+Gov’t+Green+Energy+and+Green+Economy+Act


 * Workshop Description**

What does a “green energy system” really look like? Join workshop facilitator, Ted Sherk (Equinox Summit), as we envision global energy systems in the year 2030. In a future affected by climate change, peak oil, a rapidly growing population, how will society adapt to meet these challenges? Discuss the difficulties, trade-offs, and opportunities of a low-carbon energy economy. Learn about the 'smart grid' and how technology and society will co-evolve, creating more resilient, intelligent, low-carbon energy systems.
