Oilephant Down: Canada at the End of the Age of Cheap Energy Book

Every country and each region within it must face and deal with peak oil on its own terms. Canada is one of the coldest and largest countries on the planet and will face its own unique challenges in the decades ahead, most notably in terms of climate and geography. We cannot go into the preparations for the post-peak world following the same approach as America or Britain or Australia. There are few countries with sufficient carrying capacity to fully support their population. Canada, fortunately, is one that does. We must approach peak oil fully cognizant of our strengths and our weaknesses, such as our loss of sovereignty over our energy resources under NAFTA. This book explores a broad range of peak-oil issues from a Canadian perspective and challenges the reader to do the same.
