The popularity of renewable energy is exploding as millions of people around the world use clean energy to generate electricity, to heat and cool all kinds of buildings, and to produce a variety of cleaner fuels.

Wind and solar are the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. These low-polluting energy industries are also creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs in countries as diverse as Germany and China.

Canada, the second largest country in the world, is richly endowed with renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro, biomass, geothermal, and marine sources). If the right policies are implemented, Canada can use renewable energy to satisfy our energy needs and become a world leader in sustainable technologies.
