One of the cleanest
sources of energy
Wind energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy in existence.
Because it replaces other sources of energy, it contributes
in an extraordinary way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Le Nordais is able to eliminate 250 000 of CO2
annually. Furthermore, wind energy is simple to exploit and
its production costs are constantly dropping. So many advantages
encourage more and more countries to choose wind energy to
the detriment of polluting sources of energy.
The energy produced is sold to Hydro-Quebec, a government
corporation, according to a 25-year contract. The energy transferred
from the windmill park to the public electricity network can
supply the equivalent of 10 000 Quebec residences with electricity.
In a temperate climate, Le Nordais could satisfy the energy
needs of nearly 50 000 homes.
Environmental project by 2012
The Kyoto protocol has been ratified.
How will we live our Kyoto?
Is it possible to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) without changing
our modes of production and energy consumption?
Do we believe that what is at stake concerning climatic changes
questions each and everyone of us?
Are we convinced that the actions we undertake today will
have an impact on future generations?
The different sources of non-polluting energy, particularly
wind energy, provide us with comfort and a good quality of
life.
Therefore, let’s encourage the instigators of this
source of energy.
