Summary:
"The production, distribution and use of energy pervade every aspect of our society. Energy is needed to move, to harvest, to build, to mine, to manufacture, to heat, to chill, to illuminate. Everything that makes up our modern society is facilitated, in some way, by the provision of energy. And our demand for energy is growing. We have tapped energy sources ranging from wind to coal to water to natural gas, to serve these markets. Energy supplies are often locally concentrated. Canada possesses a wide array of energy sources, and their development is part of the unfolding history of the nation. Whether it is oil in Alberta, natural gas deposits off Nova Scotia's coast, hydro dams in Quebec or nuclear power in Ontario, the choices that we have made in developing and managing our energy sources have become part of that region's culture and, therefore, its politics. Pollution Probe is a Canadian charitable environmental organization that is a leading agent of change at the intersection of communities, health and environment. Since 1969, we have been defining environmental problems through research, promoting understanding through education and pressing for practical solutions through advocacy."--From pollutionprobe.org website.
