If the energy efficiency level of the other 49 states were raised to that of New York, the most energy-efficient state, the energy saved would be sufficient to close 80 percent of the country’s coal-fired power plants. The remaining plants could be shut down by turning to renewables. With the likelihood that few, if any, new coal-fired power plants will be approved in the United States, this moratorium sends a message to the world. Denmark and New Zealand have already banned new coal-fired power plants. As of late 2010, Hungary was on the verge of closing its one remaining coal plant. Ontario, where 39 percent of Canadians live, plans to phase out coal entirely by 2014. Scotland announced in May that it plans to get 100 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2020. Even China, the world’s largest energy consumer (primarily from coal), is surging ahead with renewable energy and now leads the world in new wind farm installations. In contrast to investments in oil fields and coal mines, where depletion and abandonment are inevitable, renewable energy sources are inexhaustible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#31859C'><a href="http://bit.ly/sBgnnT"><span style='color:#31859C'>Letter to the Editor: re “It’s coal, stupid”</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'> (Lorrie Goldstein, Dec. 4): Great to see the Sun running a piece critical of coal. This fossil fuel — which in Ontario is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions — releases lead, mercury, arsenic, and dioxin. The good news is that we have more than enough generating capacity without it. The province has about 30,000 MW of coal-free supply but only requires about 23,000 MW for all its needs. We don’t have to wait till the legally-required closure date of 2014. We can keep the lights on and close the coal plants this year. - Gideon Forman, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'><a href="http://bit.ly/sPZVWz"><span style='color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>Cost Of Solar Drops Two-Thirds Since 2008</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#77933C;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>- May Be Competitive With Fossil Fuels By 2016<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#C00000'><a href="http://bit.ly/t2Uv9v"><span style='color:#C00000'>1.4 Gigawatts Of Wind Energy Installed In Canada In 2011</span></a></span></u></b><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'>- As of the end of year, Canada will likely have a total wind energy capacity of 5.4 gigawatts.
