I’m sure Canada is driven by heating load.

I’m sure Canada is driven by heating load.
- jacquesm 3y agoWhat drives it doesn't matter. Some areas may simply not be habitable sustainably.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoWe do seem to be working hard on making sure Canada is nice and temperate, though.
- jacquesm 3y agoIt beats -45 I guess... (that's the lowest I ever saw on my outside thermometer on St. Josephs Island). You make a good point though: what is and what isn't habitable will change and as a result there will be substantial movement of people, displaced either by choice or by need.
- detourdog 3y agoI understand I was just trying to explain to myself how they were #1 in usage. I was surprised. I was also trying to define the problem since they were outpacing the USA. Looks like Niagara falls only produces about 16 billion BTUs or 4.9 Million kWs.
- jacquesm 3y agoUp North there are stacks of firewood everywhere and prepping for winter is an exercise in logistics. Also still many oil furnaces in active use.
- detourdog 3y agoMakes me wonder if the offshoring of manufacturing from the USA ended up looking like efficiency gains. If we are indeed now anchoring manufacturing it will have a much smaller energy footprint than the manufacturing we lost. Which finally brings us back to the original topic delivery of goods.
