And on that note, is solar energy viable yet in Alberta? I know in the States, ther are a few government incentives....not sure if that's the case upstairs.
Ohhhh, tell us more about how things are better there...

Enmax is going to be leasing solar panels for residential users.

As for geothermal, this might help.
