One of the major problems of small communities, rural communities—Guelph probably is not too small—is that they import a large proportion of the requirements, and this represents a leakage. It represents a loss to the community.
If you get an integrated energy system, the savings you make on importing from outside the fossil fuels, or whatever energy, creates quite a bit of an advantage and would retain income within the local economy, and this by itself is a very positive thing.
The other thing is that the availability of this energy—and probably at a scale where it probably may be lower priced than what you have to import—itself becomes an inducement, an incentive, for other activities to capitalize on these savings. In that respect, what we're talking about here is a net advantage to even small communities, rural communities.
You mentioned one thing that is something I've done some research on, where violence—at least, nine Criminal Code violences—seems to be highly correlated with unemployment. So if you create jobs, you create opportunities, and these tend to ultimately reduce these occurrences. In that respect, it may be a balance from the increased intensification of urban living against the fact that you're creating savings and generating surpluses and opportunities, which tend to depress it. Those are the facts that would really count, and I would venture a guess here to say probably around the positive side.
