Ways to Mitigate Climate Change: Supporting Wind Power, e.g. Canada is among the world leaders in the production and use of renewable energy

GE Milestone: 1,000th Wind Turbine Installed in Canada - MarketWatch: "Canada has a long history of supporting wind power. We are committed to working with developers such as Cartier to continue installing and improving technology that will help harness the country's abundant wind resources," said Simon Olivier, general manager of sales for GE's renewable energy business in Canada.

Canada is among the world leaders in the production and use of renewable energy. Currently, about 16 percent of the country's total energy supply comes from renewable resources including small hydro, biomass, wind, solar, geothermal and ocean energy.

Wind farms presently operating in Canada have a total capacity of 4,611 megawatts, enough clean, wind-generated electricity to supply more than 1 million homes, or about 2 percent of Canada's total electricity demand."
