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.

Famous quotes containing the word policies:
“Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“To deny the need for comprehensive child care policies is to deny a reality—that there’s been a revolution in American life. Grandma doesn’t live next door anymore, Mom doesn’t work just because she’d like a few bucks for the sugar bowl.”
—Editorial, The New York Times (September 6, 1983)
“A nation’s domestic and foreign policies and actions should be derived from the same standards of ethics, honesty and morality which are characteristic of the individual citizens of the nation.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
