The world of solar energy is changing fast. The price of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy continues its march downwards along with staggering world-wide growth. Huge new silicon foundries and PV module factories will be reducing PV module costs significantly. At the same time the price of electricity in Alberta is poised to soar due to the costs of transmission lines, carbon capture and greenhouse gas emission fees. The solar tipping point is within sight.
We invite our league members and the general public to join us in an informative and entertaining evening at Riverdale Hall which has already undergone retrofits and continues its commitment to lower its carbon footprint.
Free evening includes door prizes, information booths, great advice, refreshments, wine & cheese before & after the presentations. PLEASE BE GREEN AND BRING YOUR OWN CUP AND PLATE!!

"The government has stated it will set policy on nuclear before the end of the fall sitting of the Legislature," says Adele Boucher Rymhs, President of the Coalition.
