For the longest time, geothermal energy implied deep-seated, super hot (+180˚C) water, brought to the surface to provide heat for space heating or electricity generation. It is the energy behind geysers and hot springs. Think Old Faithful and Banff Hot Springs.

		<description><![CDATA[When we think of solar powered electricity, the image that usually comes to mind is one of solar panels on the roof of a building. Solar panels consist of many connected photovoltaic (PV) cells which are made mostly of silicon with other compounds. When light energy strikes a PV cell, some of the energy is<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/04/21/pvs-troughs-and-towers-%e2%80%93-electricity-from-the-sun/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

Horizontal axis wind turbines are the oldest, most efficient and therefore, the most common of the two types.

A quiet change to the regime on July 2 reduced the rate paid to solar producers from 80.2 cents to 58.8 cents per kilowatt hour for ground-mounted solar photovoltaic, which has some producers up<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2010/07/22/a-little-fit-over-microfit/">Read More...</a>]]></description>
