What makes Canada special for Cleantech? According to Lesser, “Canada runs on hydropower. Canada is the world’s second largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world. Some provinces such as Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, and the Yukon produce more than 90 percent of their electricity from hydro. The Canada government has put a unique program into place, the $1 billion Sustainable Development Technology Canada fund. SDTC is a not-for-profit foundation that finances and supports the development and demonstration of clean technologies.”
