In Canada, we have a significant portion of our population in cities, but there's still a large portion of our population that's rural. Sometimes we seem to forget that rural folks are also interested in conserving electricity or energy. Most of the solutions are focused on cities. Is there an urban-rural divide here that needs to be addressed? Is it possible for rural communities, smaller communities, to take steps that would make sense from a cost-benefit analysis, resulting in less energy consumption or more savings? Or will that focus always be on urban centres?
