    I have an environmental report to do soon. I need to know which two or three energy sources Canada promotes and why. Are there any articles - on the internet - or internet resources to find this information - specifically relating to Canada? I tried posting in an environmental forums - but it wouldn't log me in, so I couldn't do it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could provide this information - which are top two in Canada's preference and why and why they don't choose other sources and other information like that?

    Thanks

    hi
    thanks for your prompt reply. i was wondering whether there were any recent articles related to ALTERNATIVE energy sources - about Canada or general - and more sources to find more information on Canada's choice of ALTERNATIVE energy sources? Thanks

    I know that Canada makes much more use of hydroelectric power than does the US, percentage wise. They have better natural resources for it though.

    Coincidentally this was in today's paper, which in my opinion should be an embarrassment to Canadians.

    In British Columbia, they are promoting this product for people with furnaces:

    Although it's not quite 100% alternative, it is a step in the right direction. In my opinion, it be wonderful if we could harness energy from our garbage. Would solve two problems at the same time.

    Good luck with your report.
