Thursday May 15th, 2008 Since the election of Canada's Conservative government in 2006, criticism of its approach to environmental protection has been fairly sustained.

We learned how to tap this geothermal energy decades ago, yet we still seem to prefer gathering fuel and burning it for virtually all of our power needs. Fuel gathering seems to be a deep human instinct that overpowers our logical thinking. Even now, when the earth's climate is threatened and health problems from fuel burning are killing us, we cling to this fuel-gathering obsession.

House leaders stripped that provision from the bill when it was considered in the House.
