About The Blog
The idea for the blog, published by the Energy & Natural Resources Practice Group at Clark Wilson LLP, came from the rising significance of the renewable energy industry in British Columbia in particular, but also across Canada and around the world. This industry is booming thanks in part the global awareness of the need for clean energy alternatives and in BC, as a result of the release of the 2007 British Columbia Energy Plan. It is being characterized as a new industrial revolution - the energy technology revolution. Since this is so important to all of us, we figured we should blog about it.
The blog will follow a broad range of topics in the renewable energy sector, from wind and geothermal, solar, bio, ocean energy, to climate change issues and carbon trading. While we will trend somewhat towards legal issues (we are lawyers after all), the blog will also include industry news and information about community events. We will provide news and commentary about renewable energy matters of all sorts. We are excited in what is happening in British Columbia and around the world and we will share our experience about this and interest in the industry.
Clark Wilson LLP has brought together lawyers with a range of legal skills, as well as direct energy sector experience, to create a team that understands and provides solutions to industry-specific legal issues. As BC's law firm for business, we can bring a unique local perspective to legal issues relating to the renewable energy industry in British Columbia. We are active members of British Columbia’s key industrial and trade communities, and we are proud to work with many of the leading organizations in BC.
