註釋This document provides an overview of energy use and its effects on the environment in Canada. It then describes trends and challenges that must be taken into account in the development of business strategies for sustainable energy futures. These include a market redefinition from commodities to services; continuing low energy commodity prices; a movement toward corporate environmentalism; a power sector facing privatization and competition; a possible role for strategic government involvement in the energy sector; the conservation gap, which refers to the difference between the actual level of energy efficiency improvement in the economy and the level that appears to be cost effective; the growing environmental cost of fossil fuel extraction and processing; transportation energy.
