CANADA NEEDS REUSEABLE ENERGY BY DENYS PRYTULA
Canada Needs Reusable Energy
Canada is a big country with lots of different geological features and benefits. Some of these benefits are not being used to their fullest. One of the benefits that are not used to the full benefit is the renewable energy sources that are available to help the electricity generation of provinces and Canada. Saskatchewan is the prairies of Canada. Saskatchewan is also the number one province in all of Canada to receive the most sun in a square meter and the most wind. Saskatoon and Regina lose 7.15 - 7.10 kilowatt-hours per square meter of energy every day from the sun, if we managed to this this power it would be a huge step for reusable energy.
In 2019 there was a statistic that was released on how much electricity each province produced in Canada. In statistics Saskatchewan was producing 4% of Canada's electricity. 81% of Saskatchewan's energy is made by burning fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gasses and the gas gets stuck inside the atmosphere and causes climate change. Some ways I propose the government could decrease the amount of fossil fuels used is by opening up and operating more renewable energy facilities such as wind turbines and solar power, and closing down fossil fuel burning and coal burning facilities. The government could also make and set programs for common people to promote buying renewable energy sources, such as solar. Some possible examples of this is how renewable energy could be appealing to civilians. by buying the spare electricity that solar panels produce and the homeowner did not use. This would let Saskpower put that electricity to other homes and businesses.
Saskpower has been constructing a few solar stations and wind turbine projects throughout the province slowly, but if Canada wants to become a negative producer of fossil fuels by 2050. the construction of the stations might need to be put on higher priority. The government should also help the common people on becoming less reliant on items that produce emissions. Some ways this could be done is by providing more low emission transportation and making the cities more environmentally friendly by adding more sustainable aspects to a city like roof gardens and bio walls.
What could we do as civilians? Well we can still do the basic stuff on reducing the amount of plastic, but we could also help support the government on making more environmentally friendly energy facilities and speak up on the programs that we wish to have for us to get to the Nat-zero by 2050. These small pushes can let the government know that we want our energy to be produced from clean processes and we want us to have a clean and renewable future for not just Saskatchewan but all of Canada.
