Tid Bits by Anonymous
I've become very concerned about the energy problems we have been experiencing. Is It possible that we will run out of energy in Canada? Wow! People have been writing b-i-g books on this question and you want a thirty word answer. No one can honestly answer your question. The best answers are more accurate than informed guesses. This is our guess:
Canada has recently begun discovering more energy, mostly gas petroleum, that already existed. So any genuine shortage of traditional energy will not come from many years yet. Meanwhile, new forms of energy are becoming available. Nuclear energy, for example, would not have been possible only a couple of decades ago; today, we accept it as almost commonplace. Solar energy will likely become feasible in the near future.
Some scientists are working on harnessing the energy of the tides and the winds. In other words, don't Iose any sleep over running out of energy in our lifetimes.
