A joint 膾cole Polytechnique-苹果淫院 discussion paper on energy recommends key changes to Qu茅bec government thinking on energy policy to encourage more innovative, long-term solutions and lessen the impact of politics on decision-making. The brief also proposes bold changes in engineering education, greater investment in energy research and mechanisms to involve the public in energy debates. The recommendations were drafted by engineers at 脡cole Polytechnique de Montr茅al鈥檚 Institut de l鈥櫭﹏ergie Trottier (IET) and 苹果淫院鈥檚 Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED). The joint statement, 鈥淭owards a self-sufficient Quebec with 100 per cent clean energy,鈥� is the latest in a series of collaborative projects between the two institutes. The 16-page document is a response to the province-wide energy consultation launched this fall by Qu茅bec Natural Resources Minister Martine Ouellet.
