Is It Possible?
Yes of course it is possible it is just a matter of how fast and well we can do it but according to www.theglobeandmail.com an the www.davidsuzuki.org we can be a completely renewable electricity generating country by 2035 and cut our green house gas emissions by 80% by around 2050. Imagine Canada being the first completely renewable country and the funny part it is within reach of us if we play our cards right, we could be a world leader in renewables, finally doing something better then the U.S than eating better then them. We have so many ways we could do this, by being the second largest country of area and having so many kinds of renewables like hydro, tidal, wind, solar etc. Also not to mention that we already create 77 per cent of our electrical energy from not burning fossil fuels which is extremely high compared to other countries living off fossil fuels. It is so CLOSE to us, it is on our finger tips just waiting for us to grab hold of it, I cant stretch enough how close we to being a world leader renewable energy.
Obstacles
There are many obstacles on the way to success for Canada some bigger then others some that people say our impossible for us to pass but only time will tell, This is true with one major problem on our hands most people are calling "The Revenge Of The Fossil Fuels:"
Revenge Of The Fossil Fuels
This uprising of environmental dangerous energy sources came for a couple different reasons, number one would be the cheap prices of natural gas right now and all the oil available on the markets right now as well. This forcing the Canadian Government to make a tough call that is getting harder to make with every coming day adding more pressure and more fossil fuel benefits. The renewable energy sources are pinned to the wall by fossil fuels because with the governments needs to create more jobs the fossil fuels grab an advantage with the ability to create twice as many jobs then renewables can make. Thats all that's devolved on it so far but hopefully renewables will figure out a way to create more jobs and natural gases prices will rise up again so more people will see the long term benefits of renewable energy rather than the short but dangerous benefits of fossil fuels.
How You Can Help Yourself
If you wish not to dig your own grave with fossil fuels and CO2 emissions there are ways you can help Canada stay green with renewables, these three ways can help everybody stay healthy and help cut down on fossil fuels courtesy of www.wikihow.com. The first way is transportation instead of using a car or bus or anything that uses gas use a bike or just walk, if you have to drive some where try using an electric hybrid car instead of a gas car. The second way is things around the house, like avoid plastic because in order to make plastic the is a burning of fossil fuels, also you can turn of the lights when not in use and always try to recycle instead of making the product again with the use of fossil fuels. The final way you can stop the use of fossil fuels is just be the kind of eco friendly guy or girl you want the rest of your neighborhood to act and be like to don't be afraid to influence be to go green to save use from fossil fuel burning and CO2 emissions. Just remember if you want Canada to use and be dedicated to the use of renewable energy sources(Bioenergy) instead of fossil fuels you have to act like you want to be eco friendly you can't drive a hummer around and till everybody to cut down on gas emissions just not going to work, way too hypocritical. Treat the planet you want other people to treat as well.
