True?
Doesn't shock me. Solving the CO2 problem and finding alternatives isn't easy and cost free. Most solutions requires sacrifices, rather big ones too. Like bioetanol. Poor people don't get food because of it.

"Canada is one of the few developed nations that are net exporters of energy.[2] Atlantic Canada has vast offshore deposits of natural gas and large oil and gas resources are centred in Alberta. The vast Athabasca Tar Sands give Canada the world's second largest reserves of oil behind Saudi Arabia.[62] In Quebec, British Columbia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba, hydroelectric power is a cheap and clean source of renewable energy."
