Dr. Larry Hughes of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia has provided ASPO Canada with his latest reports.

Originally published at his Energy and Environment Research Home Page and accepted to Energy Policy, February 2009.

Rapid rises in energy price or unexpected energy shortages can change the energy security of a jurisdiction, creating heating emergencies if there are insufficient energy supplies available to meet the heating needs of individuals and families. When the cost of heating becomes overwhelming or there are shortages in energy supply, it will be necessary for these individuals and families to have a means whereby they can be protected against the cold. These reports discuss ways in which goverments, communities, families, and individuals can address heating emergencies:
