    Super impressive! As a Canadian, my immediate thought is - what the hell is stopping us from duplicating this here? Lots of things, I know, but they should all be solvable: More cooperation...

    Lots of things, I know, but they should all be solvable:

    • More cooperation between levels of government
    • Politicians with the guts to stick with environmental policies long term
    • Investing in support across the supply/energy chain

    Hopefully we can get more of this sooner than later...
