One of the things about wind is that it's a very human-resource-intensive industry. It requires a lot of jobs to develop wind.
Comparing the technologies is difficult in a way. If you look at where we are in Ontario, we have to replace 80% of our generating capacity within 15 years. There are very few technologies that are shovel-ready, that are ready to go, to satisfy that demand on the electricity side. Wind is one. Natural gas generation is another. And energy efficiency is the third. Carbon capture sequestration, it's generally acknowledged, will be commercial by 2020, hopefully, but in the short term, we have a real energy gap we have to make up, and wind can be a very important part of that.
Within Canada, we've developed a vision of where we think wind can go. We believe that it can satisfy 20% of Canada's electricity needs by 2025. That would incur about $70 billion of investment in Canada, and it would lead to the creation of about 55,000 jobs.
Those numbers are very difficult. I can speak for wind. It's hard for me to speak for the other technologies. If you go to a place like Germany, right now 64,000 people work in the wind industry. The wind industry is the second-largest consumer of steel in Germany after the auto industry. These are staggering numbers.
