- In PART 2 - Summerside PEI adds a AI-powered solar microgrid and a solar farm with energy storage to achieve an amazing 62% renewable energy supply. This is a big accomplishment considering they had ZERO electricity generation locally a decade ago except for some backup diesel generators. This follows their first project in which they added a small wind farm, a smart grid and energy-storing furnaces and water heaters. Now they are planning to take what they learned and build an energy-positive neighbourhood.
While many jurisdictions struggle to clean their electricity grids Summerside is leading municipalities across Canada making it look easy. Remember the City started from ZERO just a decade or so ago.

Always a great episode.
No one is willing to give their cars or electricity nor should they have to. We have to move away from burning fossil fuels as fast as possible and we have the technology to do that now Summerside is a perfect example of what can be done.
Wind and solar energy combined with battery storage are safer, cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels.
Clean energy at a lower cost than fossil fuels.
Something needs to be done to train more HVAC contractors and installers about the value of heat pumps.
They seem to discourage adoption of heat pumps and want to continue with their old ways using inefficient gas furnaces.
Some are coming around. The guys I hired even feature heat pumps on their company truck.
Batteries are pollution
