Download or read book Canadian Energy Policy and the Struggle for Sustainable Development written by G. Bruce Doern and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, energy policy has been increasingly linked to concepts of sustainable development. In this timely collection, editor G. Bruce Doern presents an overview of Canadian energy policy, gathering together the top Canadian scholars in the field in an examination of the twenty-year period broadly benchmarked by energy liberalization and free trade in the mid-1980s, and by Canada's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in 2002. The contributors examine issues including electricity restructuring in the wake of the August 2003 blackout, the implications of the Bush Administration's energy policies, energy security, northern pipelines and Aboriginal energy issues, provincial changes in energy policy, and overall federal-provincial changes in regulatory governance. They also demonstrate that, since per capita energy usage has actually increased in the past several years, sustainable development remains very much a struggle rather than an achievement. When the Kyoto Protocol and its requirements for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are factored in, the Canadian record is especially dubious in basic energy terms. Canadian Energy Policy and the Struggle for Sustainable Development is key to understanding many of the issues in Canada's endeavour to live up to its energy-related environmental responsibilities.

Book excerpt: Thus as the policy discussion on climate change opens up a national discussion on energy policy, Canadians will face an extraordinarily complex policy challenge given the deep basket of regional differences described above, the significant dependency of the national and regional economies on energy exports (Canada is alone among the OECD countries in being a net energy exporter), and the fact that [...] Here we need only note the impact of the 1980 National Energy Program on the country's political landscape, the inability of the Council of the Federation to agree in August 2007 to even the rough outlines of a national climate change policy response, and the warnings of former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed about the explosive potential of a constitutional battle over federal environmental legisl [...] The political risks are particularly acute in the West, but they extend beyond the West to the rest of the federation. [...] Energy policies designed to reshape how we produce and consume energy will be compromised if we impair behavioural adjustments in some parts of the country by shifting the costs to other parts of the country. [...] When we come to the discussion of energy policies, it is essential to keep our eye on the climate change policy ball, and focus our policy initiatives where they will do the most good in meeting climate change objectives.
Download or read book Energy and the Quality of Life written by Clifford A. Hooker and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1981-12-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the supply/cost crunch tightens, issues related to energy become increasingly compelling. This is a guide for the general public to the fossil fuel crisis facing Canada, and Ontario in particular. It is also about other long-term matters of greater importance: the economic, socio-political, and cultural consequences of the choices which now have to be made, primarily by governments. The authors argue that energy policy is social policy. Therefore our ideas about the kind of society we want must be a governing consideration in working out a policy to take Canada through the energy crisis. The four writers bring to bear on the problem the perspectives of engineering, philosophy, environmental studies, and economics. The result is a balanced guide for the continuing debate on the adaptation of society to the imperatives of energy.
Download or read book Breakdown written by Dennis McConaghy and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019/20 The Donner Prize — Winner Is a national consensus on hydrocarbon development possible? The ongoing debate in Canada over the extraction of hydrocarbon resources and their transportation to markets exemplifies the country’s political polarization. Breakdown explores these tensions through economic, environmental, and political perspectives. The Trudeau Liberals and Alberta’s one-term NDP government attempted to find a compromise that satisfies the concerns of British Columbia, Canada’s First Nations, and environmentalists. But they still could not break the impasse on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. With new players now at the table, can Canada find a reasonable path forward?
Download or read book The Fracking Debate written by Daniel Raimi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over roughly the past decade, oil and gas production in the United States has surged dramatically—thanks largely to technological advances such as high-volume hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as “fracking.” This rapid increase has generated widespread debate, with proponents touting economic and energy-security benefits and opponents highlighting the environmental and social risks of increased oil and gas production. Despite the heated debate, neither side has a monopoly on the facts. In this book, Daniel Raimi gives a balanced and accessible view of oil and gas development, clearly and thoroughly explaining the key issues surrounding the shale revolution. The Fracking Debate directly addresses the most common questions and concerns associated with fracking: What is fracking? Does fracking pollute the water supply? Will fracking make the United States energy independent? Does fracking cause earthquakes? How is fracking regulated? Is fracking good for the economy? Coupling a deep understanding of the scholarly research with lessons from his travels to every major U.S. oil- and gas-producing region, Raimi highlights stories of the people and communities affected by the shale revolution, for better and for worse. The Fracking Debate provides the evidence and context that have so frequently been missing from the national discussion of the future of oil and gas production, offering readers the tools to make sense of this critical issue.
Download or read book Ecological Modernization and Canada s Energy Debate written by Jessica Bradley and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many modern industrialized nations, Canada is grappling with the need to maintain a stable, growing economy and to take meaningful action on climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is particularly challenging in a resource-based economy and federalist state like Canada, where competing regional interests and a historical dependence on oil has made it difficult to legislate and implement long-term energy and climate change policies. Two visions for energy development in Canada have emerged within public discourse. The first advocates the continued and expanded development of Canada's oil sands and new pipeline infrastructure to access overseas energy markets. The second proposes a re-conceptualization of the Canadian energy sector based on a phasing out of carbon-based fuels and expanded use of renewable alternatives to support a thriving green economy and meet international climate change obligations. Both visions promise an environment-economic win-win scenario where Canada's growth imperative can co-exist harmoniously with sustainable environmental policy. Ecological Modernization (EM) theory is a school of thought which maintains that decoupling economic growth from its environmental impacts is possible through technological and institutional modernization processes. This thesis examines both visions of energy development through the lens of EM theory to determine the likelihood of each in achieving environmental, economic and political reconciliation. EM has been successful in helping to frame and understand how industrialized societies are changing their views of the environment and incorporating ecological considerations into policy decisions. However, this thesis finds that the current political climate in Canada remains unfavourable to the transformative institutional reforms necessary to implement a truly ecologically modern national energy strategy. From the Canadian perspective, EM's promise of an environmental-economic "win-win" scenario appears to be outweighed by political challenges.

Download or read book The Energy Squeeze written by Bruce Willson and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1980 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this book was published in 1980, the Energy Crisis of the 1970s continued to cast a long shadow across Canadian society. Its bleak analysis of the energy future shows just how deep that shadow was--and is. Wilson's tough, uncompromising study remains important reading for anyone who wants to understand what's at stake in the politics of energy and what needs to be done by government and industry to ensure that the economy of the future will continue to run when non-renewable sources of energy run out. The Energy Squeeze combines detailed analysis of Canada's energy future with prescriptions for action--nationalized supply and pricing, for example--that reflect the crisis atmosphere of the early 1980s.
Download or read book Streams of Oil and Barrels of Conflict written by Jennifer Cooper and published by . This book was released on with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian policy on environmental protectionism has shifted under the Trudeau government, in line with signing onto the Paris Climate, breaking with the previous governments' passivity towards climate change. However, the new Government's stance appears muddled. Though Transmountain expansion was approved, Northern Gateway Pipeline was rejected. This policy change shows that the Trudeau government aims for a more environmental-economic balanced approach. I ask how this shift happened? I analyse Canadian energy policy from 1980-2015 using Kingdon's multiple streams framework to demonstrate why previous governments have prioritised economic growth over environmental protectionism since the failure of the National Energy Program. There are two competing dialogues in Canadian energy policy: neoliberalism and securitisation. During the time-period analysed, neoliberalism has won over securitisation because economic growth was prioritised by stakeholders. As the effects of anthropogenic climate disruption becomes more concrete and irrefutable, new stakeholders have found their voice in the energy policy debate.
