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 reliable((Information you can trust)), verifiable((Information whose source is identifiable--very important when the rules of the game and the technologies can change quickly)), high-quality((You can decide whether you just want the overview or you want in-depth explanations)) information to help purchasers and users((Meaning individuals, families, small and large businesses and other organizations of all sizes)) 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 [[tutorial|editing tutorial]] in existing editing pages is available; to add new pages (topics or sub-topics), please send a first draft to the [[<wikiAdmin@switchontario.ca>|the SWITCH wiki administrator]]. __Please help us to ensure that every significant assertion is referenced__ so that it is verifiable and correctable as needed.
