325. Green Leagues Bringing Climate Action to the Hoods

The Bow Valley Green Energy Cooperative in Canmore, Alberta has just wrapped up its fourth solar project in just a few years. This is blazing fast progress for green energy cooperatives in Canada that must navigate a network of challenging provincial electrical systems.
We talk to Jeff Roberts about the coops success getting started in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta.

362. Bow Valley Green Energy Coop Takes Flight

Gary Holden of Lodestone Energy in New Zealand says making solar energy available to everyone is the secret to building an affordable, resilient, net-zero electricity grid.
The idea is to build solar projects in or near every town and offer the solar to consumers who can't put solar on their homes or businesses the opportunity to go solar.
He also says this distributed energy, when coupled with energy storage will save money on grid infrastructure expansions, provide cheap energy and ultimately be a key link in transforming the electricity grid to net-zero.

This week on CKUA's Green Energy Futures podcast, we look at the ongoing push to add EnerGuide ratings to homes so buyers know what they are getting. See story and photos: http://www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/165-energuide

165. EnerGuide – The missing ingredient label for an energy efficiency home

This week on CKUA's Green Energy Energy Futures we visit Landmark Home's new affordable net-zero home just as they put the "0" gigajoule EnerGuide label on the home. As net-zero becomes affordable will solar-powered net-zero homes become the norm? We think they might! See video, blog and photos: http://www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/affordable_net-zero
