While Canada lags behind in solar adoption, many places including Germany, China, Japan and even the United States are moving quickly.

In fact, on certain days, some places are generating so much energy, the price to purchase it is dropping below zero, prompting concerns about storage capacity for the abundant power source.

    I don’t think “our operations run on green energy” matters that much. Energy is energy, if you give other people green energy, you are still reducing emissions. You are just reducing other people’s instead of your own, but global warming is a global issue.

      It matters if it means companies don’t actually do anything to improve their emissions and just finance production instead. All that solar energy could have been produced by a crown corporation so the state would reap the profits and it would have forced Amazon to actually improve.
