Overview"Energy is at the core of the way Canadians live. Yet recent research indicates that North America's supply of oil - our most consumed source of primary energy - may only last until 2025. So what happens when this valuable resource runs dry? In this highly readable introduction, Peter Sinclair examines the history of energy production and consumption leading to the impending energy ""crisis."" What policy decisions have been made along the way and in whose interest? From the Alberta oil sands to offshore drilling in Newfoundland and Labrador, Sinclair delves into the hot button issues that affect Canadians today. Looking ahead, he points to which alternative and renewable energies we may rely on and the environmental, social, and political pressures that are increasingly pushing Canadians toward a critical change.For more information on Issues in Canada books Click here" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Peter SinclairPublisher: Oxford University Press, Canada Imprint: Oxford University Press, Canada Dimensions: Width: 12.80cm , Height: 0.90cm , Length: 20.40cm Weight: 0.162kg ISBN: 9780195433869ISBN 10: 0195433866 Pages: 136 Publication Date: 11 November 2010 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
