I agree, but those questions have been going on for many years. It's not something new we're talking about. The research and technology to make alternate sources of energy efficient are the big problems. You talked about wind power earlier, and my understanding, from presentations that have been made to us, is that we've got a long way to go before the production of wind power is cost-efficient. So until those alternate sources become efficient, cost-effective ways of creating energy, we do have a dependence on fossil fuels whether we like it or not.
I was curious about your suggestion that we perhaps scale back our production and our export to the States. I think America will find oil wherever it can. The Middle East is the breadbasket of world oil, and it appears to me that would not be too healthy a situation to have so much dependence on one area.
We're probably doing a lot to stabilize the economy and all the other good things we enjoy in the western world by supplying America at this time, while we continue our search for alternate sources.
I have to admit, I'm not fully aware of your organization, although I have heard about it, of course. I'm curious as to where your centre is, where your head office is, and how the Polaris Institute is funded. Where does the funding come from, the operational funding? Who funds your reports, such as the one you just mentioned a little bit earlier? Where does the money come from?
