Answer: One of the most pressing environmental/economic needs on the
North American continent is finding an answer to our energy problems. Canada and the U.S. alike address the majority of their energy needs with petroleum. Because our countries
satisfy our demand for petroleum countries by importing oil from foreign countries, we have little control over energy costs. Even though Canada actually exports more oil than she imports,
she is still at a precarious balance with the rest of the world in terms of her future needs (Kasoff, 2007).
Canada and the U.S. alike are two of the most energy intensive countries in the world (Blades, 2007). The U.S., in contrast to Canada, imports more oil than she
produces. These U.S. imports amount to an estimated thirteen million barrels of petroleum daily (Roberts, 2008). The U.S. produces only eight million barrels a day, however (Kasoff, 2007).
U.S. oil consumption, however, hovers around twenty million barrels a day (Kasoff, 2007). Imports, therefore, are needed to address sixty percent of the current U.S. oil demands
(Roberts, 2008). With the price of oil moving upward of $130 US dollars per barrel, the worlds dependence on petroleum presents
an economic problem in itself (Roberts, 2008). Canada, sitting on the border of this tremendous import/export deficit could feasibly benefit by producing more oil for export to the U.S.
Even though Canada is currently in the black in terms of oil exports verses imports, however, future needs are not likely to be met by domestic production alone if
