If you start following this trade issues you get real worried about who is going to run the county. In Alberta they are set to build the new power lines but in Ralphs plan the taxpayer or the rate payer will pay th hundreds of millions of dollars for the lines, not the exporters. And, the Government refuses to offer any finance plans. Albertan's own all the power lines is their answer.
The article was written by James Rosen of the Sacramento Bee's Washington, D.C. Bureau. (1) jrosen@mcclatchydc.com Note the budget for the US Military and study the implications of the attrition of that war machine: much of the US Airforce aircraft and logistics equipment has become obsolete in context of Iraq and probably will need to be replaced at huge expense.
The US Federal deficit is about $470 billions (about equal to its military budget) and recent indications that North America will need 70 gigawatts of new generation by 2013 yet the first new generation of nuclear powerplants probably will not be on-stream until 2015 at the earliest really worries me. Canada's independence is likely to be a moot point, in this context, long before 2013.

I would assert that the House of Commons should ensure that, in terms of Canada at least, that our electrical needs are taken care of one hundred percent before exporting electricity; that is, one could propose something such as An Act to ensure electrical stability in Canada (the Electrical Protection Act, if you will).
The Act, or whatever measure that is brought in, could ensure that where the Government of Canada has become aware of an electrical issue in Canada, exports of electrical power would take a back-burner stance in comparison to our own domestic requirements.
