Ottawa backs $400 million push for solar energy program
In Ottawa a government plan announced by Energy Minister Alastair Gillespie pledges about 400 million dollars to solar space and water heating in federal buildings, 125 million for equipment, 114 million for joint projects, 350 thousand in contests, and over 100 million for forestry energy research. The package aims to diversify beyond heavy oil and nuclear, stressing job creation, local manufacturing, and a government market for new solar tech while noting wind power as a future addition and calling for tax incentives.
