In recent years, energy policy has been increasingly linked to
concepts of sustainable development. In this timely collection,
editor G. Bruce Doern presents an overview of Canadian energy
policy, gathering together the top Canadian scholars in the field
in an examination of the twenty-year period broadly benchmarked by
energy liberalization and free trade in the mid-1980s, and by
Canada's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in 2002. The
contributors examine issues including electricity restructuring in
the wake of the August 2003 blackout, the implications of the Bush
Administration's energy policies, energy security, northern
pipelines and Aboriginal energy issues, provincial changes in
energy policy, and overall federal-provincial changes in regulatory
governance. They also demonstrate that, since per capita energy
usage has actually increased in the past several years, sustainable
development remains very much a struggle rather than an
achievement. When the Kyoto Protocol and its requirements for
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are factored in, the
Canadian record is especially dubious in basic energy terms.
Canadian Energy Policy and the Struggle for Sustainable Development
is key to understanding many of the issues in Canada's endeavour to
live up to its energy-related environmental responsibilities.
