What a load of self serving HS!.. Canada will gradually transition to renewable energy as the market dictates. As it currently stands, there are virtually no solar panels on peoples roofs in this country because it doesn't make economic sense.  People, especially in emerging markets will always choose the cheapest form of energy (and so they should) to heat there homes and cook their food. Unless the govt utilities are willing to purchase the excess energy produced by solar panels, you need to buy very expensive batteries that only last ten years. Couple that with the average payback time (without batteries) is ten years. So, you see, it's simple math. The notion that demand for oil will peak in 2018 is total an complete nonsense, a figure pulled out of thin air by some dreamer at the Paris summit. We have been blessed with an abundance of natural resources and we need to sell them on the world market a fair prices so, the various levels of govt can continue to provide Social Services!
