On today's Viewpoints:
We go green with all Electric and Solar news. A Nova Scotia camping ground becomes the first net zero installation of its kind in Canada. Canada’s first commercially available electric boat and marine charger were recently launched in Kingston, Ontario. The Voltari 260 now silently cruises Lake Ontario. The construction of a 117 km bi-directional, underwater electricity transmission line has been shelved in Ontario. The Lake Erie Connector Project was set to run between Haldimand, Ontario and Pennsylvania, USA. And you can now ride solar while you drink, eat and tour some of Halifax's best spots, with Atlantic Canada’s first solar powered pedal bus. And the Kingston East Community Centre will go green and install 460 solar panels on its grounds. This will provide 96% of the centre’s energy needs.
