OPG Conference on SD -- Challenges & Solutions for the Energy Industry


Ontario’s Energy Future – March 28th

The two speakers at the OPG Conference on Sustaiable Development were critical of the Ontario Power Authority’s (OPA) long term plan for electricity development in the Province of Ontario according to Dave Young, LVP at Kinectrics. I could not attend the Friday event due to a scheduling conflict. Instead, I extended my invitation from Dr. Blaire Feltmate at OPG to Dave.

Clean Coal Focus
In conversation with Dave after the event he told me the speakers were on board with the Society position of halting any additional gas-fired generation in the Province. They said we should be researching clean-coal and carbon sequestration technology instead. These are the kind of events that Society need to take a more active role in attending and disseminating the result to all our members.
