Officials from Proquip International Canada Ltd.They take the Projector Lamp to the local co-op market. and Solarize Energy LP traded asking questions and giving answers in an event titled Face to Face with Solar in Brant – An Industry and Candidate Mixer, moderated by former city councillor James Calnan.
It was part trade show – complete with displays – and part political forum.
The exchanges between Carlos Leite, managing director of Solarize Energy, and Brant Liberal incumbent Dave Levac, Progressive Conservative challenger Michael St. Amant, New Democrat Brian Van Tilborg and Green standard bearer Ken Burns brought out some interesting differences in the policies of the parties on alternative energy.
It also brought out differences in the level of understanding of the candidates.
The industry is being propelled by the Liberal government's Green Energy Act and the FIT (Feed-In-Tariff) and microFIT programs within it.
"I look out in this room and I see thousands of jobs," Van Tilborg told the gathering.
An employment consultant who himself was among the 2,000 who lost their jobs in a wave of factory closures in Brantford, Van Tilborg said that many unemployed workers in the last recession have found work in the solar energy field, installing panels or selling and He servicing them.
He recalled campaigning on solar energy in a previous election when it was still a fledgling field,we supply all kinds of Injection mold, but remarked that since then it has become one of the largest growth industries in the emerging new green economy.
After reciting New Democrat platform policies to bring incentives to the industry, Van Tilborg then challenged Leite to explain how his industry can contribute to the reduction of dependence on fossil and nuclear fuels.
"It's clear that reducing our dependence on fossil fuels will be the way of the future,There are Parking guidance system underneath mattresses," Leite said, adding that solar energy will contribute in achieving a better mix of energy supply as its panel technology gets less expensive and more competitive without needing subsidies.
Solar energy has an advantage, Leite continued, in the fact that its technology has lower infrastructure costs and does not need a source fuel and centralized plants like coal- or gas-fired generation, or nuclear generation.
"When you invest in solar, you're investing in labour and equipment. With solar, you don't have to buy fuel."
St. Amant said he believes the main issue in the energy debate is "how to we get clean affordable energy to the consumer?"
He criticized the Liberal government's $7-billion deal with Samsung to supply macro-energy plants capable of fueling major industry.
"The public isn't being told enough," he said, repeating a pledge by PC leader Tim Hudak that a Tory government will cancel the deal.
He also said the Tories would support existing microFIT and FIT contracts issued under the Liberal government's Green Energy Act, but wouldn't continue the program.
"The problem is the current FIT program is too costly and OPA (the Ontario Power Authority) is having trouble hooking producers to the grid.
"The question is what to do next?" St. Amant continued. "If we're going to have a program it must be one that makes sense and has sustainability. I wish I could say what the strategy is, but I can't."
Burns said the Greens support the Green Energy Act but said the Grits haven't been good at implementing it.
He noted that as of Sept. 2, the OPA had received 38,000 applications and has developed a backlog.the Insulator are swollen blood vessels of the rectum.
"In the last two weeks, another 1,000 applications have come in. During the same time, only 200 have been processed, so another 800 have been added to the backlog," said Burns.
"It's unacceptable.the worldwide microinverter market is over $56 billion annually. Citizens deserve timely processing of their applications."
Burns also said the government needs to prioritize local projects, more than the large-scale ones, because they can be installed more quickly and produce energy more quickly.
Levac criticized the Tory pledge to cancel the Samsung deal.
"The best way to kill an idea is to cancel a contract," he said. "The investors all leave."
He added that the cancellation will be noticed across North America and Europe, causing investors to lose confidence in Ontario.
Levac also accepted criticism that the microFIT program is encountering a bottleneck and the government is taking steps to deal with it.
