Energy Transformation is Real and Can Happen Anywhere

Fifteen years ago, Uruguay was experiencing an energy crisis brought on by its reliance on fossil fuels. Today, the nation produces 98 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. It also exports extra energy to neighbouring countries. Listen to the lessons that can be learned and Uruguay’s former secretary of energy argues this unprecedented shift is replicable in any country.

Over 70 Canadian researchers from across the country developed a detailed roadmap for how to achieve the same results as Uruguay. It is about time we started to immediately implement Re-Energizing Canada: Pathways to a Low-Carbon Future (2017).
