Canada is an energy super power, and that's because we've been blessed with a lot of tremendous natural resources, including renewable resources. But it's an energy super power because we've actually developed strategies to develop those resources, whether it's the oil sands, nuclear power, or something else. We have that opportunity now with renewables.
You will find universal consensus. You might disagree on what the final number is going to be, but everyone everywhere expects that the contribution of renewable energy to global energy systems is going to increase enormously going forward. If Canada wants to continue to be an energy super power in the energy technologies of the 21st century, it needs to get involved and develop a strategic approach on these issues.
We talked a little bit earlier about where Canada stands relative to other countries. In absolute megawatt terms, you might scratch your head a little bit about the fact that Canada is behind the Netherlands, Denmark, and Portugal--countries you wouldn't expect to be perceived as stronger than Canada in an energy source when we're so blessed with a tremendous resource. So there are tremendous opportunities, but we have to think strategically to try to tackle them.
