Based on past experience, you do not believe that "cheap" electricity will attract economic development. How sure can we be of this when we have been looking at $20 per barrel of plentiful oil and a period when environmental impacts were largely ignored? Will the picture be the same with scarcer supplies of oil at $60 per barrel and a new era of environmental concerns? New policy based on past realities may well be inappropriate.
Obviously any steps to encourage lesser use of all forms of energy might be beneficial. However, to say "Manitobans are the most wasteful users of electricity on Earth" may be misleading scare tactics. Did the Energy Probe study look at our total use of all forms of energy? Did they take our climate into account? Did they note that we may use more electricity p...

China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

Energy problem is one of the three global problems in new century. Being national base industry, the development of the electric power energy has played the great role in China economy developing. Now China electric power energy's structure composition presents as following the coal resources being main force, followed by pluralistic developments in which the clean energy becoming more and more important, since greatly developing the new electric energy must be the inevitable solution along the electric power sustainable development path. Utilizing the different developing mechanisms such as sustainable development, recycling economics, clean energy, the article starts from researching for the current situation of China electric energy requirements, and analyzes the structure compositio...
