Environmentalists' predictions over the years.

Are pipelines dangerous?

Léger Marketing opinion poll commissioned by the Montreal Economic Institute.

The goal of this paper is twofold. Part I looks at the historical experience and illustrates how current "cleaner" sources of liquid fuels were anything but in the first stages of their development. Part II describes how Alberta's oil sands are being exploited and illustrates how "win-win-win" innovations are now taking place that are making this industry more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

The debate on the closure of Gentilly.

Possible solutions to ensure the vitality of the St. Lawrence.

James Lovelock and the environment.

The "Dutch disease" theory and oil production.

Oil consumption and its production potential in Quebec.

For many Quebecers, the effects of producing and using oil and other fossil fuels are unequivocally harmful. These sources of energy are seen as relics from the past that will soon disappear.

The issue of global warming.

Up until now, Quebec's hydroelectric production has mostly been associated with very large scale projects like the James Bay and Manicouagan dams. At the other extreme, the Quebec government has left the operation of small installations, 50 megawatts (MW) or less, to the private sector, which is experiencing increasing success at that level. However, an important portion of Quebec's hydroelectric potential remains unexploited: that of medium scale projects.
