Demand For Oil Outstripping Supply

I am a little surprised to see it published, most people don\'t want to consider the possibilities, but didn\'t Bush just finish promoting the SUV, tax incentives etc? For years there have been better fuel efficient vehicles, but no country seems willing to promote those. What about wind power, that is something we definetly have plenty of in Canada, and I don\'t just mean the political hot air!

I\'m more concerned with NAFTA, as we sell (give ?) all our oil to the US until it\'s gone.

Ever wonder what\'s going to happen to the airline industry ? Will they be able to use hydrogen as a fuel ?

These are questions, and the answers will come. Soon.

That`s what Trudeau`s National Energy Policy was about- the prevention of the US from sucking Canada dry of her resources, as well as putting revenues from the NEP toward developing alternative fuel sources. Now, as Canada leads the world in fuel cell technology, we are squandering another golden oppurtunity. Same thing with all those electric trains for Europe. Bombardier builds them for the EU, but Canada?

This is kind of what David Orchard says. We should have a automobile industry. We could do just what Japan did when they really made an effort to make small, efficient cars we can make green cars now that there would be a big market for that sort of thing & we\'re already working on the technology. Why the ____ not??? We\'re the only G8 country that doesn\'t have an auto industry. I think the problem isn\'t opportunity, it\'s will. We need someone in Ottawa who will resist visionless losers like Harper, etc, ie the same kind of people who didn\'t want Canada to have a national railway & other stuff like that.

Yes and there was an article a while back about using Canola in diesel, burns clean and uses less. We know we have Canola, great market and renewable.

the only use for GMO conola? <br /> there's a compressed air powered car, too, out of France. Last i knew it was going thru insurance crash testing: http://www.theaircar.com/

There\'s NO way hydrogen is powerful or reliable enough to power an airplane, at all. THis could change, but the ONLY other credible fuel would be rocket fuel, which is a mixture of powdered-aluminum, and other substnaces. The problem is, it\'s VERY dirty.

Well, we DO have an auto industry, but I guess you meant national car company. That being said, European companies are being swallowed up, including Sweden\'s Volvo, (Ford) and Saab, bough out by GM. Even Mazda, LAnd Rover are American-owned, so we\'re not unique, although we COULD have our own car company, and provide good cars at cheaper prices to Canadians, much as Mercedes, V.W. produce cars that are much cheaper locally than overseas.

Gwyn mentions Canada is lso proportionally wasteful. Maybe, but we are a bigger country, than, say, Sweden. Things are farther apart.
