This green agenda I think is an example of something that has become very popular, but nobody has quite defined it yet. You can talk to six people and they'll give you six definitions of what it means. It means cap and trade and carbon footprint, it means clean technology, it means alternative energy--it means all those things. It's becoming defined. Canada has a chance to help define that, because again, I think virtually every policy-maker, decision-maker, media mogul, whatever, on the U.S. side of the border is hot on the topic right now, and Canada has a lot to offer.
I'm particularly familiar with the Quebec situation, because those are the folks we most closely work with. The hydro power has an enormous potential. It's already a huge supplier. It has enormous potential for much more, to meet the northeast U.S. electricity needs through a renewable clean source in the future. An awful lot needs to be done with the grid to get it from where it is to where it would need to be in the future.
I think there's some real synergy with wind energy development. It's occurring in New York; it's occurring in my region of New York in a very big way. A lot of the equipment is coming down from Canada. I think there is a technology base in Canada that can be very supportive of that.
There's a lot of university research, a lot of academic research, a lot of R and D work going on. Canada, particularly, tends to be more advanced than the U.S. many times on the R and D end of things. It puts a lot more value on that than we do in the U.S., so it therefore has a contribution to make to new, clean technologies.
