Fire in the Ice.

A form of gas-rich ice trapped beneath the Arctic permafrost and underlying Canada's coast could become a major source of low emission fossil fuel over the next two decades, experts say, but only if Ottawa makes a long-term commitment to its development.
Called gas or methane hydrates, the volume of natural gas that can be produced from it may exceed all conventional sources of fossil fuels combined.
It's Canada's opportunity to lose, according to a report from the Council of Canadian Academies, which presented its findings at a conference yesterday in Vancouver.
"If Canada ignores gas hydrates all together, more damaging ways of meeting energy needs could be adopted, and Canada could lose out competitively to other countries, perhaps even to the point of having others exploit Canadian resources."

We Moving


Finally we have signed a new leasing contract, uff cost enough, but I am, is a duplex (that is to say, has 4 bedroom), with 2 bathrooms, one in first floor and the other in the basement, this located in ## Kennedy street, AB. Thanks to the management of my realtor, our Chilean friend, we achieved the objective. Considering our condition of neocanadien without commercial referent in Canada, it turns out very complicated to rent a house. We will be but near everything, buildings public, office post, library, bank, hight school, middle school, elementary school, etc, we will be near park ( to rain bicycles), a beautiful place, and many stores. We are seeing the form to lower to the suitcases and furniture from a second floor without having to lower them by hand one by one.
