It must be spring because the cherry blossoms are blooming at Exhibition Place! With sun, warm temperatures, and a gentle breeze in this week’s forecast, there is no better time to come down and visit the wind turbine.

Yesterday, Canada announced it would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. Recognizing the importance renewable energy will play in achieving this, $850 million dollar of this plan will be invested into wind and solar energy production.
Ever wonder how big the turbine is at Exhibition Place?
The turbine has a height of 65 meters and the three-blade rotor has a diameter of 52 meters. Check out the graphic below for more information regarding WindShare's turbine.

The new voluntary Clean Energy Credit registry hopes to make it easier for businesses and corporations to meet their sustainability and environmental goals by making it easier to purchase electricity from green energy sources such as wind and solar.
#GreenEnergy #Windpower
Ontario is capitalizing on its world-class clean electricity grid to attract jobs and investment by developing a clean energy credit registry, a new option for businesses looking to achieve their sustainability and environmental goals.

What Western Canada really has in common is entrepreneurial spirit. Looking forward, 🇨🇦’s #cleanenergy sector will add 210,000 jobs by 2030 with #Alberta experiencing the biggest jump of any province at a 164% increase over the next decade. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #cdnpoli #ableg

A new report from BP shows #wind & #solar capacity saw massive growth last year & carbon #emissions fell by 6%. BP says in order to limit #globalwarming heating to 1.5C, the emissions decrease needs to be replicated yearly for 3 decades. theguardian.com/business/202… #ClimateCrisis

☀️ The #NovaScotia government is investing $7.5M to construct the province's first large-scale community solar gardens. The project will allow people who can't install #solar panels, to still use #renewableenergy.

From #tidalenergy to #offshorewind power, our oceans can make a huge impact when it comes to fighting #climatechange! Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊
What if one of the key solutions to fighting #climatechange was in our ocean?
On #WorldOceanDay, the Global Wind Energy Coalition for @COP26 celebrates the role of #offshorewind in achieving our climate goals & protecting our #ocean.
