A move from “traditional” energy sources to ones that produce little or no greenhouse gas emissions is required by the Global Warming Situation/Crisis. Whether we can succeed, how fast we must change, how we should accomplish and promote change, and many other interesting questions will NOT be addressed here. Other groups can do that far better than we can. What we will try to do is offer reliable¹⁾, verifiable²⁾, high-quality³⁾ information to help purchasers and users⁴⁾ of renewable energy equipment make informed decisions about where, when and how to proceed.

We want your feedback at wikiAdmin@switchontario.ca, but we also want you to make changes and improvements directly. A quick editing tutorial in existing editing pages is available; to add new pages (topics or sub-topics), please send a first draft to the the SWITCH wiki administrator.
