Abstract

Canada was one of the first countries to sign the Kyoto Protocol, on April 29, 1998. Formal ratification came more than four years later, on Dec. 17, 2002. But Canada's continued participation in Kyoto seemed certain to end with the election of a minority Conservative government in January of 2006. Part of the party's platform was to ditch Kyoto and come up with a "made-in-Canada" approach to reducing the emissions blamed for global warming. It is hard to determine whether this, "made-in-Canada" solution will be what is needed, however, it is certain that there will be a lot of investment in the attempt to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels as our main source of energy. As such there are many Canadian businesses that are poised to prosper from this shift to greener energy. One form of green energy that has a bright future is wind energy. transalta wind is a leader in the industry that develops and promotes high quality, clean, renewable energy sources for Canadians and world customers at large, in an effort to better our shared environment. Their focus is on wind generation; harnessing a power abundantly found in nature, and channeling it into local electrical grids. This process has environmental benefits for everyone and specific credits for those who choose to purchase or invest in it.
