Energy: Who needs it, who makes it, and how are we going to get it?

Canadian Geographic releases Making and Moving Canada’s Energy, the first in a series of Energy IQ videos

Energy supply. Energy demand. Energy producers. Energy users. Energy sources.

What’s the big picture now? How will it change? And what role do Canada—and Canadians—play?

No one has all the answers, of course, but you’ll find at least some of them by watching a new Canadian Geographic-produced video called Making and Moving Canada’s Energy.

This six-minute video is the newest offering from Energy IQ, a Canadian Geographic energy education program that teaches Canadians about our energy resources, demand and production.

The first in a series of primer videos, Making and Moving Canada’s Energy offers an unbiased look at how energy is produced all around us. The video examines the world’s growing need for energy, where we’ll get it, how we’ll move it—and the reminder that every energy source has its own set of pros and cons.

Speaking of energy use, how does your energy use stack up? Are you an efficiency superstar, an energy super-user, or somewhere in between?

In the world's conversation about energy, one point is beyond debate: Energy makes a vital contribution to people's quality of life, to society and to human progress. This is true today, and it will remain true in the future. That's why Energy Matters was created. We believe it's important to equip people with unbiased information so they may form opinions, join the conversation and feel confidence in the work and accomplishments of the energy sector. Energy Matters is an initiative that provides transparent information and perspective on energy. Here, we'll cover a range of topics: the scale of global energy; the ways energy is sourced and produced; current energy technology; forthcoming innovations; the world's future energy needs; and the sustainable sources of energy that will fill them. Because energy matters to everyone, we hope you'll rely on Energy Matters as an ongoing source of balanced information.
