Canada Keeps Low Profile at International Renewable Energy Conference
From March 3-6, 2008 ministers from around the globe along with 9000 other delegates met in Washington to discuss ways of scaling up renewable energy. At the Washington Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC) - the largest renewable energy conference ever held - each country was asked to make major new policy commitments that will support new investment in renewable energy technology. Many countries came through with significant pledges. Canada made no new commitments and continues to lag behind the rest of the world on the use of renewable energy, missing out on what has been called the largest new market of the 21st century. Pembina participated in the conference as a member of the Canadian Renewable Energy Alliance (CanREA).
