ISSUE: Expanding Canada’s presence in the Arctic to defend sovereignty is more important than ever. Energy scarcity chronically challenges this goal, but geothermal energy can provide a source of abundant and reliable heat and power for military, civil, and industrial activities across the North.
PROPOSAL: The Government of Canada should invest $100M to create Project AURORA, a next-generation geothermal field laboratory in Resolute Bay, Nunavut.
