This book investigates the role of governmental and
non-governmental actors in energy-environment decision making. An
examination of the trade-offs between various energy options which
are currently before policymakers in both Canada and the United
States focuses on the environmental and economic consequences of
public and private choices which face leaders in both countries as
well. Whether the existing regulatory environment will prove
feasible and/or desirable under the new Canada United States Free
Trade Agreement is also discussed.
Some of the questions the authors explore include: How do we
assign costs and benefits to alternative energy strategies without
underestimating the importance of environmental factors? What types
of regulatory regimes should both countries strive for in order to
foster a good balance between environmental protection and economic
growth? What kinds of political processes should be instituted to
allow for more effective energy/environmental policy choices in
both countries? This book will be of interest to students and
scholars concerned with the environment and interested in
Canada-United States relations.
