Enbridge's involvement with the Sarnia project goes to show that there's an alternative to oil.   Jeff Kart, Bay City Michigan  http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/07/michigan-oil-spill-company-largest-solar-plant-first-solar.php  In announcing the venture late last year, Enbridge officials pegged the expansion cost at $300 million (Canadian)."

The Irony, is repeating the same largess developments that created our current  economic trends to build and peacock as the pharaohs generating large scale facilities. We conclude that the large factories producing renewable energy solutions: 1) Integrate energy efficient conversions that reduces energy usage but, moreover, produces an efficient intelligence that is integrated in total system,  processes and technology; and, 2) Model sustainable solutions and new standards that adapt new cognitive, service and product platforms.

Organizations that are employing strategic planning, intelligence gap analysis, organizational assessment, technology integration and resource utilization can prevent the incidents that have befallen many companies such as, BP, Dell, Apple and more...

Yes, wind can be a solution for energy usage. Wind is currently 7% of the overall utility output.   "New Grid May be Needed, But So is Smarter Use" by Richard Harris.  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100631  "Power companies are planning to beef up the nation's electricity transmission grid. At the same time, conservationists are trying to reduce the vast amount of power wasted in Americans' homes and offices. That raises a question: If we simply used energy more efficiently, would we need to spend billions of dollars on a new grid?" (Richard Harris) LAND sees the need for beefing up the grid; moreover, utilities and municipalities are encouraged to increase alternative energy solutions that are in alignment with the electrical grid.  Too often we focus on one grand solution, discounting BIG Picture Thinking solutions.  The grid is in need of repair as it has been for 20 years plus.  Now is the time to cross generate solutions for a bright economic and sustainable future. We can "Wind" with Electrical Solutions!

Green is the new word, akin to "paradigm shift" and "re-engineering".  The new words require systems of change to institute processes, systems and management. Green is more than a word it is vision, mission and charge for a new way.
