 First Nations leading Earth's future generations

Lloyd Fournier: “If you do not like pipelines and the dirty tar sands mess, I am thinking that there is a great lesson to be learned from the T'Sou-ke First Nation on the south tip of Vancouver Island. The 40 home Reserve is now energy independent by making use of solar panel arrays. Chief Gordon Plances and the entire Souk community should be commended. They are not only energy indepependent but are also producing the hot water needed for residents. The 75 kilowatts produced on the Reserve are sufficient to export electricity to the British Columbia power grid.”
