The Canadian government is investing in renewable energy to boost local economies, generate employment, and cut emissions in preparation for a low-carbon future. Renewable energy technology adoption is also assisting rural and distant areas in reducing their dependency on diesel fuels.

My geographical perspective is: Environment

"Indigenous peoples are partnering and collaborating with governments and commercial sector to conserve the environment through Three Nations Energy. Our solar farm will create local jobs, improve our energy security, and produce cash that will be reinvested in our community over time."

Cost of solar energy

Life on Earth is based on the energy inherent in sunshine. Humans may use it to create energy for our activities without polluting the environment. There are a variety of ways to transform solar energy into more usable types of energy like heat or electricity. The methods we employ to convert solar energy have a little environmental impact. However, they all have drawbacks that have prevented them from becoming extensively used.

Solar energy is expensive and out of reach for the majority of the world's population. The majority of people do not have the financial means to invest in luxuries such as solar energy. In Canada, the average annual wage is roughly $68000. Taxes total about $16,000. This gives the individual with $52,000 to spend on both necessities and desires. The average solar panel in Canada costs around $2800 per year. Another $1300 is required for installation. Solar energy is very efficient, but it comes at a cost. One that not everyone can afford.

The current issue is: Cost of solar energy

A switch to solar energy world wide would be revolutionary for the human race and the planet because it would drastically decline the demand for fossil fuels which are expensive. It would be revolutionary because wars for fossil fuels would end, climate change would slowly start to decline and animals in the arctic would be in less danger or risk of extinction.

Solar energy is a much better alternative rather than fossil fuels and Canada would be a much more " green" or environmentally friendly country. It would also mean less demand for fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are more expensive than solar energy and they are non-renewable meaning they are not as reliable.

Not many people are educated or know much about solar energy.

People are not able to get jobs that can support having and maintaining solar energy

2021

Solar energy is not affordable for everyone.

People who work jobs that can't fund or maintain luxuries such as solar panels.
