Is going to continue to fall further behind. May come up with new ideas but if you are in an old Energy System and an old centralized economy based on a vertically integrated companies as possible the u. S. And canada will be secondtier countries 20 or 30 years from now. In europe we are wrestling with these issues on power. We told the Power Utility Companies they have to uncouple.
