 There will come a day far off but inevitable at some point when traditional energy sources will no longer be needed. In preparing for that day we have two critical responsibilities. One is to sustain the planet between now and then so we can pass it on to our children better than we found it. And the second is to get ahead of the curve on innovation. And we in Canada are doing just that. Canadian companies are leaders in developing technologies such as carbon capture and storage, next generation biofuels, advanced batteries for electric cars, and cleaner oil sands extraction processes, among other advances. This creates good jobs and it also helps the planet.
