Federal Conservatives and Ontario Green Party recognize the
importance of energy efficiency
(Ottawa, September 16, 2011) NAIMA Canada applauds the Government of
Canada's announcement to invest $78 million over the next two years
to increase the energy efficiency of homes across the country.
The ecoENERGY initiatives, announced by Minister of Natural Resources
Joe Oliver, support job creation while helping Canadians save money
by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool their homes.
Similarly, NAIMA Canada commends the Green Party of Ontario's
proposed Green Building Program. Announced recently by Party leader
Mike Schreiner, it would allocate $1.6 billion in refundable tax
credits to assist home owners and businesses with energy efficiency
and building upgrades. The Program is estimated to create 20,000 jobs.
Increasingly, politicians are becoming aware that energy efficiency
is a pocket book issue - enhanced energy efficiency means more
savings for consumers. As energy prices rise, the only way to ensure
lower utility bills it to consume less energy.
A highlight of the Green Party's Green Building Program is the
requirement of home energy audits. Audits allow home buyers, renters
or business owners to know the real costs of potential energy bills
for their properties. In such large purchases, this type of
information will inform consumers so they can choose what is best for
their situation.
"Activity in the energy efficiency sector saves money through lower
energy bills and creates jobs, including home energy auditors, local
contractors and installers, and insulation manufacturers," continued
Koch. "These are local, skilled jobs that lead to lower greenhouse
gas emissions and stable and strengthened local economies."
"Supporting a plan that creates jobs and saves Canadians money is
easy," continued Koch. "Other jurisdictions, including the United
States through President Obama, have identified that energy
efficiency is the next growth industry. I commend Minister Oliver on
his leadership in carrying forward this initiative."

A little bit of snow doesn't stop the Swiss running their trains up the mountain in Zermatt. Although to be fair, they are purpose designed and built to handle it.
This has the look of a "toy town" or minature landscape. The wind had flattened all the new snow into a smoth velvety appearance from a distance.

Dingsheng has successfully designed and manufactured the newest high efficiency fine crusher. It is mainly used for fine crushing of dinas, sand making, and for crushing in cement factory, etc. The high efficiency fine crusher integrates the advantages of hammer crusher, impact crusher, etc. and is further improved in structure and materials.
The optimized crushing chamber improves fine crushing effects and enhances the unitarity of spare parts. The hammerhead is designed with tungsten and titanium alloy integrated structure and other special wear-resistant materials which greatly lengthen the service life of hammerhead. It is a high-tech product for which we have full intellectual property rights. It enjoys features:
1. High yield and the product is small in size.
2. Longer service life.
3. The space between impact plate and hammerhead can be adjusted.
4. The hydraulic device is convenient to maintain.
5. The distance between discharging grates and rotor can be adjusted. The facility enjoys steady discharging granularity.
