By the way, ocre, I was never intending to "bash" the USA. I was simply pointing out that you guys rely too heavily on coal power. I should be able to point something out like that without you flipping out and going on a rant just because I said something "bad" about your country. I don't think Canada is perfect either. Far from it. You were correct in stating that we consume more fossil fuel per capita. I'm not exactly sure why that is. It could be the oil sands. It could also be because it's so damn cold here and we need to heat our homes somehow. Most places in Canada use natural gas to heat houses. That's a lot of fossil fuel consumption when it's -30 outside. But we don't have much choice. I guess we could use geothermal heat pumps. Those are just extremely expensive to install.
