MIA (Ch. 17) Environomics (Ep. 3) Full Cost Accounting
We continue our interview with Gordon Howell about comparing prices and watching trends between solar and Albertas conventional mix of (mostly coal) electricity. With environmental and health costs piling up, coal looks like less and less of a bargain. On In the Green we meet a cycle-powered inventor with a social message.

About Chapter 17 Environomics
Practical technologies, personal motivation and competent know-how are readily available, but something is missing. What new economic models will provide the financial fuel to commercialize new energy innovation and propel our world into a sustainable future?

About In the Green
In the Green is a sponsored information segment about Albertans who are marrying their environmental and social aspirations with a successful business model. These one-minute profiles showcase the people and the operations, jobs, products and innovation that are helping consumers reduce their ecological footprint.

About Made-in-Alberta (MIA) Series

Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions. Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding these solutions and bringing them to community television and the world-wide-web.
