Thermal solar collectors and Sheila Watt-Cloutier on the effects of climate change on the Arctic

Program Title: Terra Informa 8-03: The Promise of Thermal Solar Power & Activist and Educator Sheila Watt-Cloutier
Description: Today we have an exclusive interview with Order of Canada recipient and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier. She explains the impact of climate change on Arctic communities and the challenge of creating political change. We also take a look at biodiversity, and why more than just the number of species in an area is important. And to finish things off, we have an in depth look at thermal solar power. These days most people's attention is focused on solar voltaics, but collecting heat directly from sun light shows enormous potential and all over the world solar thermal power plants are beginning to pop up.
