This site partially shows what is being done in the technological domain to keep floating the environmental struggle which is actually in jeopardy. Environment protection is highly related to the creation of renewanle energy and this blog is dedicated to see the evolution of the replacement of fossil fuels by alternate and clean energies.
Le but de ce blog est de présenter en partie ce qui se fait dans les domaines technologiques pour raviver cette lutte pour l'environnement que l'on croyait gagnée mais certains détracteurs ont pu crér le doute dans l'esprit des gens. La protection de l'environnrmrnt est alliée intimement à la création d'énergies renouvelables et ce blog a pour objectif d'informer ur tout ce qui touche au remplacement progressif de l'énergie fossile qui dans un avenir rapproché ne sera plus dispomible. Il est temps de penser sérieusement à l'avenir de notre planète

Geothermal Numbers fall in Manitoba

Geothermal energy systems are still new to the province, but already Manitoba Hydro statistics show that installation numbers for the technology fell last year.
According to Manitoba Hydro, 551 residential geothermal systems were installed in 2009-2010. Compared to the 756 in 2008-2009 and 721 in 2007-2008, this is a sharp drop.
Despite the numbers, Manitoba Hydro representative, Glenn Schneider remains positive. "It's really a year and a half, two years ago now," Schneider said of the numbers. "We don't have the numbers for the year that just passed."
Schneider pointed out the fact that 2009-2010 saw a huge economic shift. "A year ago we were facing a huge economic crisis," he said. Schneider said because of the crisis, people were very cautious about investing their money, and the geothermal systems are still expensive.
