Calgary Herald, Nov.10th, 2010 – The City of Medicine Hat is set to announce a $9-million solar power project, believed to be the first commercial-scale facility of its kind in Canada.

Australia Institute, Nov.11th, 2010 – Government subsidies for residential solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are ineffective, costly and unfair, new research published by The Australia Institute shows. […] It found that despite costing the government $1.1 billion, it will only reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 0.015 per cent and failed to generate significant domestic economic benefits.
