80% renewable energy possible by 2050: U.N. - World - CBC News

In a world facing the challenges of declining oil and gas reserves coupled with climate change, it will take massive investments in renewable energy and infrastructure to make significant changes. Fortunately, there are countries interested in creating an alternative and sustainable future.

Unfortunately, Canada is continuing to subsidize the oil and gas industry rather than take a leadership role in this critical move towards sustainability. This leaves us with the least energy efficient economy in the industrialized world at a time when energy prices are moving towards record levels.

Will we ever have the necessary motivation for political change?
