Policies
The Pembina Institute advocates sustainable energy policy solutions through research, education, consulting and advocacy. Their key energy issues include ramping up energy efficiency, avoiding dangerous climate changes, promoting the use of renewable energy and the responsible development of fossil fuels.
They have advocated against the use of nuclear power, fossil fuels (coal power, and petroleum) in favor of large scale hydroelectricity, energy efficiency, conservation measures and renewable energy (such as solar and wind power).
They're also involved in the "Renewable is Doable"-initiative with WWF-Canada.
