what does subsidize mean
@9CBTBW310mos10MO
Yes, subsidize the installation of local/individual solar/wind apparatus to reduce the dependance on current methods and pass the savings on to home owners/renters who participate.
@9KBWSK81mo1MO
No, the government doesn’t have the understanding required to assess the impacts of “renewables”. It will also make the industry reliant on subsidies
@9KBFTYW 1mo1MO
No, if the companies are private they should be allowed to succumb to the same economic factors that influence the rest of the economy. Energy production for individual consumers should be low cost for citizens since it is produced with our country's resources. Buildings for corporations should be required to produce or contribute to the production of energy through environmentally sustainable means.
@9JST8CMConservative2mos2MO
I believe renewable energy sources are a good idea, except for the the fact that producing them has an impact on the environment when the government says it’s a big enough issue already
@9HXHTR43mos3MO
Yes only if the the gouvernement takes in consideration the amount of pollution the business is producing and their intentions.
they should start making it mandatory that if a certain company's carbon emmisions are too high they need to start using more renewable sources of energy
@9HGG7VG4mos4MO
So basically if Opposite Day then renewable is not renewable and then whole energy sphincter will to boom like big bang
@9H8Y45L4mos4MO
keep oil alive and make me money. the government should invest in renewable sources but also keep the oil industry alive as alot of countries still use oil to function
@9H6W47H4mos4MO
The federal government should use revenue from carbon taxes and related to invest in R&D and efficiency improvements to hydro and energy storage systems
@9GRZW9K5mos5MO
Not entirely. Some investment should be made, but companies should be provided incentives to become increasingly eco-friendly, especially on an international scale with regulations.
@9GPTJ2D5mos5MO
No, producers of non-renewable energy sources should be taxed to incentivize them to transition to the production of renewable energy sources.
@9GNXXXT5mos5MO
We can certainly help with grants in the national interest, to expand renewable energy and make it more accessible for businesses.
@9GH2KFF5mos5MO
No. If we run out of energy sources in the future it will be the job of the people in the future to figure out a solution.
@8VSR96S3yrs3Y
Depends on who's view of what is renewable. Electric cars are not, forestry is.
They should nationalize all energy resources and eliminate non renewable resources, except for nuclear which must be dramatically expanded.
@8VRK7FC3yrs3Y
All sectors , oil and gas included, trying to produce cleaner energy and products should be eligible for funding
@8VRH9N63yrs3Y
They should not use as many un renewable resources
@8VRCCP23yrs3Y
Renewable energy sources should be used more please.
@8VR79MX3yrs3Y
Yes, by offering private citizens (e.g., homeowners) and businesses to be able to produce renewable energy at a similar cost to current energy prices.
@8VQZYZY3yrs3Y
The government should only encourage and incentives anything they want to accomplish. Anytime the government gets involved in vertically everything it becomes a mismanaged mess.
No, abolish coal, oil, and gas subsidies instead.
@8VQMDPQ3yrs3Y
A graduated subsidy taking 10 years
@8VQF7ZG3yrs3Y
Yes, but with clearly defined time and financial limits.
@8VQB6WYNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Somewhat but not wholly
Nationalize the Energy enterprises to start the production of renewable energy sources and phase our Fossil fuels.
@8VP6TKX3yrs3Y
Only for major companies
@8VP2BCN3yrs3Y
Probably, most likely yes
@8VNXC8M3yrs3Y
No. Renewable energy doesn't have enough power per ton to power the world. The proper way to go is nuclear power.
@8VNRPTF3yrs3Y
Leave that in the hands of private enterprise
@8VNMCFJ3yrs3Y
Depends on reasonable economic fundamentals.
@8VN6FXM3yrs3Y
Yes, but only until fossil fuels are no longer used in society
@8VMR33C3yrs3Y
Does the government have money to subsidize this, I don't think so. This mean they will be taking it from the people, and some of us are struggling to get by as it is.
@8VMP336Conservative3yrs3Y
Production maybe consumption no
@8VLTRHB3yrs3Y
Yes and help the smaller producers
@8VLT9V33yrs3Y
No, focus on nuclear energy
@8VLM6Y63yrs3Y
yes , but keep oil and gas
@8VLGPJJ3yrs3Y
The government should support our oil industry more. We have all this oil to make money from. Make like Norway and nationalize oil production.
@8VKN3MJ3yrs3Y
At what environmental cost? Electric vehicles are good (hydrogen cells are better), but where do you think the material for those deep cycle batteries comes from? Does that extraction not produce as much, if not more, environmental damage?
@8VK5QPH3yrs3Y
The government should subsidize the decision of homebuyers to install solar panels on their rooftops but should not subsidize big business.
@8VK52773yrs3Y
They should put the money into making gas and oil more cleaner, so that it benisits all Canadian citizens
@8VK4ZKJConservative3yrs3Y
The government should concentrate on nuclear power while reducing power sources that produce GHG emissions. R&D on Thorium. Expand the power grid capacity and subsidize people's home renovations to convert to electric heating.
@8VJVNDV3yrs3Y
This should be a joint responsibility of the government and private industry…. Incentives
@8VJFQJN3yrs3Y
Yes for we must find a green energy source or we we’ll be left behind
@8VJDW6G3yrs3Y
With limits but not throw money away on products which have not been evaluated that it will not harm the environment in other ways like windmills like we have now.lots of metal waste, fuel consumption in transporting them as well as how it affects wildlife and human health and it is way to heavily subsidized.
@8VJCKT93yrs3Y
@8VJC5F53yrs3Y
Yes, unless the renewable sources is totally unfeasible (ie. ethanol)
