Renewable energy business in Ontario has taken off, thanks to a well thought-out Green Energy Act (see my article Could Ontario be the next Germany? in Renewable Energy World magazine on the topic, in the specific context of solar power). A financing organization retained GrowthRoute in order to conduct emergency due diligence review on a series of micro-hydro projects. (more…)
I am glad to report that Canadian Business decided to reprint the main part of a post I wrote in May on this blog, pointing out the weakness of their argument against the Green Energy Act.
It’s not online so I can’t point to it, but you will find it on P8 of the August 17, 2009 issue (they pre-date their magazine), the first comment on the page, entitled “California Dreamin’” (unfortunately this title misleads the reader about the nature of the argument, but let’s not be too picky…) The fact that they publish a pretty strong critique like this one speaks volume about the willingness of the magazine to show all sides of a story. Kudos to Canadian Business!
Canadian Business missed the mark in its poorly researched editorial on Ontario’s Green Energy Act and the Emerging Technologies Fund in the June 15 issue.
I support innovative ventures in the cleantech space on a daily basis through my consulting practice at Growthroute, and I recently co-authored an article entitled “Could Ontario be the Next Germany?” with regard to both the Act and the Fund, published in Renewable Energy World Magazine, the most widely-read magazine on clean energy.
As we all know, Ontario has been pouring money by the billion into the car manufacturing industry and other dinosaurs. It is about time some public support be devoted to innovation in cleantech. (more…)
