In late Spring 2005, a working draft of HRM's proposed Regional Plan was
released to the public.  Although one of the Plan's principals explicitly
refers to "energy", the references to energy in the working draft are few
and far between.  This paper reviews the Plan and its proposed actions on
HRM's energy future.  The paper makes a number of recommendations,
including the need to design all new neighbourhoods to take advantage of
solar energy, and to broaden the definition of "renewables" to include
energy sources such as biomass and solar.
