Local small scale electricity production

Idea:

We really should consider local small scale electricity production. There are small scale nuclear options, we could look at community solar farms, and even make solar panels a requirement in new building codes. There are lots of options to that could help us have more local control of our electrical needs.

Staff Feedback:

Thanks for the ideas, as we move ahead with our Energy & Emissions Plans (Link Below) we will be looking at ways to implement solar energy production into the City with the goal of getting our GHG emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Small Scale Nuclear Reactors are a little beyond our capabilities but as that technology develops there may be a New Brunswick Solution that involves small scale Nuclear.
