Who is 50 by ‘30? Manitoba Environmental Industries Association (MEIA) Key participants: o MEIA o University of Manitoba o University of Winnipeg o GeoXergy o Southern Comfort Mechanical o Solar Solutions o Keystone Agricultual Producers (KAP) o DLF Consulting o International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) o Climate Change Connection o Providence University College o Green Action Centre o Assiniboine Community College Members from industry, civic organizations, universities, businesses, and ENGOs
vision: To increase Manitoba’s renewable energy use to 50% (from the present 30%) by 2030 without increasing global GHGs.
spend more of our money here reduce our greenhouse gases grow our green industries Why 50 by ‘30?
spend more of our money here reduce our greenhouse gases grow our green industries Why 50 by ‘30? we can lead Canada
How 50 by 30? Where will we get the money? WE’RE ALREADY SPENDING THE MONEY $0.8b - natural gas $3.2b - gasoline & diesel IN MANITOBA, RENEWABLE ENERGY IS LOCAL ENERGY electricity electric heat industrial natural gas gasoline & diesel
