Energy experts consistently project that Canada needs to at least double the size of our electricity system to power transportation, buildings and industry over the next couple of decades. While engineers, energy modelers and economists tell us what needs to be done, what citizens think, need and want is missing from Canada's electrification conversation. Join Dr. Louise Comeau, Director of Climate Change and Energy Solutions at the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, to hear the latest findings from national focus groups and survey research on what matters most when it comes to social acceptance of renewable energy and transmission projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XZIONmlIRyakjyzc6_kaXg">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XZIONmlIRyakjyzc6_kaXg</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>Canada-Wide Strategy Call to Mobilize Against NATO<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.
