Here’s how our city can fire up its own clean power.[rssbreak]
SUN SHINES
Municipal and community partnerships install large-scale solar power projects on public and private buildings Our Power links homeowners to get discounts on solar panels for individual homes, and solar hot water heaters reduce use of energy from the grid.
WINDS BLOW
Within the next five years, look for offshore wind farms on Lake Ontario.
TRASH ROTS
There’s already a plan to use methane from the digester process at Ashbridge’s Bay Treatment Plant for cogeneration, converting the biogas to electricity and heat for the facility.
EARTH WARMS
Geothermal projects in homes and public buildings take pressure off electricity used for furnaces.
