make the capital green
Just think of the goodwill, tax reduction, good PR, reduction in the carbon footprint and long term savings if the capital installed solar panels on just some its government buildings. It was send an immediate message to its citizens on its commitment to helping the environment change for the better for generations to come. It may even start a provincial and territorial movement or spur on industry and downtown skyscrapers to do more than just sit there. They would harvest energy instead of draining it. If Boulder Colorado can do it to their university and many others in its core and still keep its good looks why not our city.
