Recognition of the commercial viability of Canada\u2019s oil sands has raised Canada\u2019s proven reserves to 180 billion barrels, making it the world\u2019s second-largest holder of reserves after Saudi Arabia. The electricity grids of the United States and Canada are linked and both countries share hydropower facilities on the Western borders. Quebec is a major source of electricity for New England. Considering we're a large part of your oil support, and we have gobs of it, it appears you're wrong. --- þ Synchronet þ ``Penguins make tasty snacks'' .
