It may be a bit off-topic, but I think given concerns about climate change, there will be some who might find it of interest.

Pat <excerpt>Begin forwarded message: Department of Physics & Atmospheric Science Physics Seminar Series 2006-2007 Energy Security in an Energy Superpower Larry Hughes Energy Research Group Electrical and Computer Engineering Dalhousie University Canada is one of a handful of countries that can export a wide range of energy products: oil, coal, natural gas, uranium, and electricity. Perhaps because of this, the Canadian federal government and most, if not all, provincial governments do not have energy policies that recognize the need for energy security. Atlantic Canada is one region that is particularly vulnerable to the effects of peak oil, notably rising energy prices and supply shortfalls, since almost all of the region's energy is imported. Although the region boasts large hydroelectric facilities, and crude oil and natural gas production, these offer little hope in achieving energy security, as most of the production is destined for export markets. After examining Canada's claim to energy superpower status, the presentation considers the energy security implications of Atlantic Canada's energy production, supply, and demand. The energy policies of the four provincial governments are demonstrated as inadequate to handle any significant price rise or supply drop. Several sectors of the region's economy are examined in terms of the potential impact on their energy requirements through demand reduction and the use of indigenous supplies.
