Is Plug-In Solar Possible in BC?

Plug-in solar got cheap and legal somewhere else first. This is the story of where it spread, why it took off, and what would have to change for a Canadian to plug one in. Each chapter [in Canada] is a step on the path between today and the year you can buy a kit at a Canadian hardware store.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps can make your home run cleaner and more efficiently.  Getting off fossil fuel heating and getting an electric heater and air conditioner in one unit can give a healthier living condition, reduce costs, and reduce your carbon footprint.

RNG Myths

“RNG” is a marketing term coined in North America to describe methane gas that is produced from biological waste (bio-waste). Outside North America this gas is known more accurately as “biomethane”.

RNG sounds great. It captures methane from organic emissions that would be released into the atmosphere. Sadly, it is no cleaner or more renewable than "natural" gas obtained from fracking processes.
