consciousness, our uses and further research of alternative energy sources and fuels, and the potential for space colonization and exploration. We still have a chance to reverse our impact on the planet because of further advancements in technology and a sense of global consciousness. Canadians have a good sense of environmental consciousness. We are taught at a young age to be considerate of our impact on the environment. The

The Energy Industry in Canada Introduction to Canada Canada is the second largest country by total area (9.9 million km²), but is one of the smallest by population (35.31 million). The gross domestic product in Canada is $2.153 trillion (CA$), and the GNI (gross national income) per capita is $61,517.7 (CA$). The top source of energy in Canada is hydroelectric (63.7%), nuclear (15.0%) followed by solid fuels (13.1% coal, but is a shrinking industry in Canada as it was eliminated by Ontario in
our part’ for the environment. Reducing energy using devices, changing our transportation habits and buying products locally are minor but significant ways individuals can adjust their lifestyles to help better the environmental situation. However, climate change is very much a long term problem that needs ideas enrooted in the short term. Statistics Canada reported that in 2009, the residential sector in the country consumed about 1,316.2 petajoules of energy, 739 petajoules (roughly 56%) of this
Canadian International Trade Canada is great economic superpower that has yet to reach its potential. As the second largest nation by area, we possess vast natural resources. We are a massive importer and exporter on the world stage, who a play a vital role in the stability of the northern hemisphere. Through Canada’s international trade, we export vast quantities of many different foods stuffs, minerals and manufactured goods like cars, while we tend to import lots of Iron, Aluminum and Steel
Solar power in Canada is gaining attention to many people. You will be informed about what solar energy is and how it works, the environmental impacts of solar energy, why you should care about it and what you and others can do to help promote it. You will have a better understanding of solar energy and why you should take the switch. Overview The amount of solar energy you consume depends on where you live, how you live, transportation and the climate. Canada has an abundance of renewable resources
essential as they are crucial to maintaining a stable economy, security and safety (Allen, Stuart and Wiedman, 2014). Training the staff at energy facilities, in preparation for an emergency, is a crucial step in prevention of another disaster. The staff at First Energy, the facility that caused the blackout, had inadequate training, according to the U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force (2004). It is important that staff are trained, since they have to handle the generation of electricity. The
INDC (intended nationally determined contributions), Canada has stated that “intends to achieve an economy wide target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030”. It is too ambitious for Canada to meet this target. What is the scientific, political and philosophical aspects towards climate change issue? Under scientific
help diminish the negative effects of climate change in Canada’s arctic, I have discovered three prominent ones to address in this policy brief. The first policy I am analyzing is having Canada sign the Paris Agreement. I then will evaluate
Canada; known for peacekeeping, multiculturalism and having one the largest ecological footprints in the world. What is an ecological footprint? The ecological footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the activities in a person's daily life. One main source of greenhouse gas is burning fossil fuels. That includes the gas in a person's car and the coal burned at the power plant. Scientists have concluded that humans are producing more greenhouse gases than ever before
Solar Power as an Efficient Source of Alternative Energy in Canada Most people fundamentally understand that our current energy system is ultimately unsustainable and that renewable energy, including solar energy, will be an inevitable part of our common future. Solar power has become an efficient alternative energy source that results in a cleaner environment, a stronger economy and great freedom in the world, due to energy independence. Solar energy has multitudes of applications, such as powering
The issue of climate change is multi-faceted and effects many domains of human life, impacting social, economic, and environmental factors. It is expected that Canada and other northern regions of the globe will experience the greatest impacts of climate change due to the northern latitude and landmass size of these territories (Cox et al., 2013). These warmer temperatures are predicted to create social and epidemiological concerns as well, welcoming an onslaught of pathogens, both old and new (Cox
of global warming as greenhouse gases are relatively increasing in Canada. Most of how Canadian’s produce greenhouse gas emissions is through Home energy, food/shopping, and cars/transport as this strategy of living can cause polar ice caps to melt in the northern and southern hemisphere causing habitat loss, sea levels rising/decreasing, temperature change, and El Niño. This global warming issue has taken a huge effect in Canada as finding alternative ways to reduce consumption of transportation
Industry Overview The Oil & Gas Industry within the Energy Sector includes Oil and Gas exploration and Production, Oil and Gas Refining, Storage and Transportation. The three major focus areas of the oil and gas industry is firstly; exploration and production of oil and natural gas known as the “upstream”, secondly; transportation, storage, and selling refined oil and gas products called the “midstream’, and thirdly; refining and promoting of crude oil or “downstream”. The major international oil

definitely significant to Canada. Mining, is an important industry, and Canadians are very advanced in their mining technology, but during the mining process, there is certain level of pollution produced. The Canadian government and the mining companies have very good plans and controls toward this problem, while ensuring the smooth running of the industries, and also helping to create strong economy and employment. The world of today could not exist without mineral products. Canada produces about 60 minerals
Introduction The statement ‘Canada oil sands are much more of a blessing rather than a curse’ is not true because the disadvantages of oil sands outweigh the advantages. For this reason, this paper aims at indicating points against the statement. To understand the defects of oil sand exploration in Canada, one has to delve into the explanation of what oil sands are as well as how the entire process of mining and refining and thereafter, determine the disadvantages based on socioeconomic factors,
Is Nuclear Energy Worth the Risk? The capability for nuclear energy has always existed. However, not until December 2, 1942, at the University of Chicago, did nuclear energy surface. Enrico Fermi made that discovery by making a chain reaction in a pile of uranium. How a nuclear reaction works is that a neutron is “shot” through a gram of uranium, which creates fission. This causes a chain reaction, thus creating a nuclear reaction or nuclear energy. This was the first man-made nuclear reaction
cover, sea levels rising, etc. show the ongoing problem known as climate change (Government of Canada – What is climate change?, 2015). To cause such a significant shift in the earth’s atmospheric conditions, human activities and natural occurrences come into play. Scientists have generally agreed that human activities are one of the reasons that the earth’s climate is altering (Government of Canada – Climate change and public health fact sheets, 2015.) Consequently, day to day human activities
Canada is addicted to making money from natural resources, which fuels the Canadian economy. Canada is the world’s leading exporter of softwood lumber, newsprint and wood pulp. Canada has the third most oil reserves in the world (Canada. Government of Canada). Canada is also one of the world's highest per capita consumers of energy (United States of America). Canada is known for its abundance of natural resources, however it is not known for many other great opportunities that Canada holds. Canada
