Editor's Notes

  1. This speech basciall breaks down into: How OSEA’s history brought us to this historic moment of opportunity What is the opportunity for Community Power and what are the advantages to working with or starting your own CP project The new emergent approach to planning will bring a flourishing of sustainable energy OSEA has many services available
  2. CAN YOU HEAR THAT? That’s the sound of OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING at your door! Up until a few months ago, community wind projects like this one were EXTREMLY difficult to get off the ground. In the course of a year, this has all changed. Much more is now possible.
  3. We’ll soon be seeing many more rooftops cladded with solar panels Home of Mike Brigham of the Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative (TREC) Passive solar design Phased/modular approach
  4. In fact, we’re already seeing people getting very creative with solar panels and putting them wherever there is good solar exposure. OR GOOD PR EXPOSURE! By-the-way, Paul is a ORIGINALLY from Val-Caron right around here and he installs PV on rooftops of local institutions like community centers, schools and churches. You can find him in the Associate Members section of the OSEA website.
  5. Every day there is more and more news of manufacturers looking to set up shop in Ontario. Municipalities and Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Corporations are recognizing the huge potential for new jobs. ASIDE: This happens to be a SPANISH turbine and Spain was a country that a decade or two ago was not on the renewable energy map. But they were facing a fuel price crisis that created the political will for them to move towards energy-independence. They’re not there yet, but the moral of this story is that in the process they gained a significant share of the global wind turbine market and created a whole new industry in that country. So 100% renewable may yet be far off, but in the meantime we’re gonna put a lot of people to work! And we can ramp up Not yet produced in Ontario
  6. Farmers are installing biogas digester to sell us power as soon as we need it and to better manage all that crap! WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN Groundwater protection Heating needs Refining the manure faster into high-grade fertilizer On-demand power production complements our intermittent solar and wind resources.
  7. And gentlemen like this one up in HEARST will deliver to your door THE most efficient wood pellet burning furnaces on the market so that your home or business can heat itself renewably!
  8. This time right now is a critical turning point where we’ll either CATCH-UP to and SURPASS the best in the world (GERMANY)
  9. … .OR we can languish with past ways of doing things. This is a photo from right here in Sudbury by a famous Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. He like to shoot industrial sites and produces images that reveal a sort of beauty amid ecological destruction.
  10. There WAS a time when Ontario was completely powered by renewable electricity. Beck I &amp; II generating station is probably the biggest and best known example
  11. … .but we also built many many smaller plants where it was feasible to do so. Publicly owned
  12. But somewhere the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission veered of the energy Soft Path and became mesmerized by the false promises of nuclear power. We opened up a Pandora’s box of financial/ecological debt
  13. They also fell prey to the notion that our energy consumption SHOULD and WOULD increase year-after-year requiring more and more plants like this one – the infamous Nanticoke Station – one of Canada’s BIGGEST smog and GHG emitters. Veered onto the hard paths. Look at that PILE of COAL! That used to be the top of a mountain in Tennessee. We need to take RESPONSIBILITY for our energy.
  14. Maybe this mountain top. Talk about NOT IN MY BACKYARD! MY BACKYARD IS A CRATER!!!
  15. RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

  17. With this opportunity and the resources OSEA offers to help launch Community Power projects we’re catching up to the world leaders in sustainable energy and sustainable lifestyles.

  23. Landowners saw speculation taking place in their community and they decided to form a committee to Evaluate their development and ownership options Understand the legal and technical aspects of wind development. Glen Estill helped this committee understand their options and form realistic expectations around how development would proceed and the risks involved. The committee studies the many issues and created a report for the rest of the community. Of the 3 companies offering landleases to the landowners, the committee considered Preneal’s to be the best deal for landowners and larger community It offered compensation for ALL landowners. Those hosting turbines got a certain percentage of the revenue. Those with land capable of acquiring turbines but ultimately did not receive them got somewhat less. Those within the footprint but without suitable land received the least % of revenues.
  24. … to innovative partnerships between First Nations and renewable energy co-operatives. BACKGROUND NOTES 1. What motivated your community to develop a community owned wind park as opposed to leasing your land to outside wind developers? The decision was based on the fact that the First Nation wanted some control in the actual decision making process regarding the windmill operation. We saw the opportunity to get community input into the development size and operational procedures. 2. What do you hope to achieve for your community through the development of this wind park? An economic development project that will create some employment and eventually generate own source revenue, plus ensuring that we limit the impact on the environment to our natural resources. 3. How would you describe your experiences with the process of developing the wind park so far? Very educational, having no basic knowledge of wind energy it has been very eye opening to see what other sources of power that we can rely on that is safe to the environment. 4. Has this process yielded any unexpected benefits or created any unexpected problems so far? It has created a new awareness in the alternative energy sources, it also raised our communities interest beyond the normal expectations of nuclear power. It has also opened our eyes to the OPA (Ontario Power Authority) and how they control the amount of watts that can make or break a community project of this size.
  25. The Green Energy Act Campaign was launched in June 2008, and in this capacity, OSEA is part of a greater alliance. Here we have the founding members, for more information on who the alliance is, I would invite you to visit greenenergyact.ca
  26. There are still many challenges that we’re working on…
