Everything Old Is New Again

It seems that everything old is new again...

I started this blog back in 2007 shortly after Scotian WindFIelds Inc (SWFI) was formed. After existing on its own for a while on Blogspot, Renewable Times moved over to the SWFI website where it was updated (occasionally) for the last few years.

This week will see the launch of a new SWFI website. The folks that know a lot more about this stuff than I tell me that I should move back to the stand alone Blogspot page, so here we are.

Those of you who were on the original mailing list will start getting emails again, because it seems the feed distribution is still intact, and you all likely received an email from an old post earlier in August.

I’ve imported a few old blog posts that still seem relevant, so they won’t be lost in the website change over.

Things are certainly interesting these days in the renewable energy industry in Nova Scotia. Renewable energy is at the cusp of becoming mainstream in many ways. It is now a significant contributor to our electricity grid (~20%), there are important policies being developed at municipal and provincial levels, and residents, businesses and institutions are all starting to look to renewable energy to lower their operating costs.

That all means that there is plenty to blog about…. I’m already working on a few posts, but in the meantime, as of early this week, make sure to check out the new SWFI website at www.scotianwindfields.ca
