<p>While we want to become more energy independent and provide local markets for Canadian oil, gas and electricity, we are also well aware of the problems that arise from climate change. As we rethink our policies, we need to consider all options and look for solutions in “unconventional” places.</p>
<p>Much has been written about energy use for transportation, building heating and cooling, artificial intelligence, et cetera, but consider agriculture, an industry based on a renewable energy model.</p>
