RE:Have you heard the term "energy cannibalism"I read this article this morning. If this is true, people will have much more to worry about than the price of oil. Personally I give it less credence as nuclear could drastically help with this. I recall 20 or so years ago the idea of building nuclear reactors in Alberta was being floated to supply cheap energy to the oil sands. Unfortunately the idea was shelved. Nuclear will come to the forefront again if the cannabalism theory is true.
