Yukoners want more rooftop solar. Why can’t they have it?

from What On Earth

Power is pricey in the Yukon, and solar panels help some homeowners keep costs down. But two years ago, the government paused a program that allowed people to install solar on their roofs, use the electricity they generate and sell some of it back to the electrical grid. We find out what the roadblocks to renewables are in places like Whitehorse, and what the Yukon’s struggle tells us about the challenges of transitioning to clean energy across the country.
