Should the federal government subsidize the production and consumption of renewable energy sources?

I do not understand what this entails

The government should help to support and incentivize companies in this field.

Maybe as long as it’s nuclear.

To a certain degree. Renewable energy is good but we shouldn't completely move away from fossil fuels. I believe Nuclear is also a very clean energy source.

yes but they should also lower regulation on the production and consumption for large corporations and other companies sso that our country can take advantage of our vast resources however it should be reasonable

No, because there is no adequate renewable energy source that will sufficiently supply the country as well as oil and gas.

Many so-called "renewable" energy sources are not very good. The government should subsidize the use of rooftop solar panels for homeowners.

There must be a proportionate subsidies to prop up new technology

It should find more education on nuclear energy and more nuclear energy facilities

Nuclear is the only way.

Once battery and renewable technology is better, yes

Yes. But don’t totally cut out current energy resources. Transition takes time.

Only if it's beneficial

No. Subsidize nuclear and natural gas power sources.

Should invest in nuclear rather than the renewable options

switch completely to renewable

Yes, but not toward's companies which currently produce fossil fuel emissions.

Yes, but only energy production.

By increasing the deployment of renewables, subsidies have played a role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This is very important for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and restricting global temperature rise.

No, but not by raising peoples amount of tax paid.

Federal government should fund the development of renewable energy technology but not the production or consumption.

yes, but help the people become more energy efficient and not let the money go to big companies.

No. Renewable energy doesn't have enough power per ton to power the world. The proper way to go is nuclear power.

Production maybe consumption no

to a certain extent

The government should support our oil industry more. We have all this oil to make money from. Make like Norway and nationalize oil production.

The government should concentrate on nuclear power while reducing power sources that produce GHG emissions. R&D on Thorium. Expand the power grid capacity and subsidize people's home renovations to convert to electric heating.

For now until we build out an industry

denpends on how they are going to be used.

Yes, but fund it by awarding prize money via competition.

No, but they should subsidize nuclear as it is both reliable and green.

Subsidize developments into nuclear energy

I would support research and development of certain renewable resources but not the user consumption.

Isn't important

The government should build nuclear power plants as they are more effective than wind and solar

I think they should realize Oil and Gas are a lifeline and can not be replaced

Only if is truly renewable and sourced from Canadians workers from Canadian resources.

yes, nut hydro only, other forms break too quickly.

Yes as long as the cost of the R&D and the production of new energy sources is not born against the tax payer.

Yes depending on the efficiency and how important each energy source is

Yes but they should have a fixed abd timely budget for each business

It should produce renewable energy but should also allow private enterprises to do so.

If it is cost-effective

During periods of debt, we should not.

Gradually Wein people off consumables to point. Not all environmently friendly products totally pollution free either in the manufacture or end cycle. Three RS need to be enforced

the way i see it that solar panels and wind power do a lot of harm and is not renewable energy but geo thermal is good so is nuclear power even Theo its not renable its still our best source

Government proven not to be competent in making this decision

Wind Turbins are not very effective

I think that people should use what they want but not influence others by making one thing cheaper.

Depends on what renewable energy source we are discussing

not until we can get spending under control.

No it should be provincial

Give us Canadian choices

I am uneducated on this

No, should support the oil and gas industry in a more environmentally healthy way

Only those that are actually effective. (I think they should instead subsidize the research for renewable energy sources so that we can get some more effective products)

Yes until operational then sell to private sector

Yes but very little

i am uneducated on this topic

No, it would cost too much in taxes

only to a certain extent.

Renewables are nice but we won't be able to use as a replacement, so invest money into to cleaner but not completely renewable such as natural gas and nuclear.

No the government should subsidize the production and consumption of nuclear and Hydro-electric energy instead of wind a solar energy

We have Oil we should worry about first.

We should move towards Nuclear energy

invest more on solar panels but stop investing on the windmills

Yes, but as long it does not affect the non-renewable economic sectors in Canada

Yes, somewhat, if we can afford it, but incentivize production/consumption of renewables instead

Provide tax credits to companies who produce and consume renewable energy sources

Yes but not at the moment

Canada should be energy indepandent

No, right now isn't the time to put money into this

Yes - but not demonize fossil fuels. Innovation can be encouraged but not legistated.

I am right in the middle

Certain renewable energy sources should be funded but others should not.

yes but only a really small amount.

Yes but again very slowly this will have to be a long project that takes years to do but I want it to happen, but I can't happen now or even a decade from now without a huge effect of jobs and the working people.

No, we need to keep using renewable energy sources so we don't waste our other nonrenewable resources

I believe that it's smart to invest in renewable energy, but I believe that the population shouldn't be taxed to fund this.

No, not until fossil fuel and natural gas run low or out

I think that the government should a little bit, because they are renewable and we need them everyday and the government needs to take care of us.

Yes, as long as said energy source shows adequate promise and reliablity.

Yes, but only nuclear and water turbines.

i don't get the question.

Government should lower taxes for renewable energy sources. Not give free money

yes, gradually. we do not need to support this completely right now seeing how we do not have the money to spend on this. We also need to form a plan to ensure canadians do not lose their jobs just to improve our carbon footprint.

Yes, the government should subsidize the added cost of renewable energy sources as an incentive program.
