Transforming Saskatchewan's electrical future : Public policies needed to build a renewable energy society in Saskatchewan

"This paper is written as part of an ongoing project, Green Energy Project Saskatchewan. GEPS is a civil society group, established to develop a plan for the conversion of Saskatchewan's electricity grid to sustainable renewable options by the earliest possible date. Stemming both from concern for the welfare of the human species and from a respect for the earth and all of its natural systems, we seek the attainment of sustainability, as defined by the UN-sponsored Brundtland report in 1987: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Basic principles of compassion and justice demand that we move rapidly to phase out fossil fuel usage and therefore eliminate our largest contribution to global climate change. We owe this to all the potential victims of climate change, locally, nationally and globally, in our generation and in generations to come."
