Say no to SE2. This essay is about the Canadian reaction to the proposed SE2 powerplant in Sumas Washington.

"Say no to SE2! Say no to SE2!" We can't have those Americans building a power plant only a few kilometers away from us! It would devastate our communities here in the lower mainland. I realize that SE2 would only be burning the cleanest source of fossil fuels available to us, natural gas, but that still pollutes our air and our water. Why should we care about their energy crisis anyways? It's not like it …

…we care? Wow. I think we are starting to care about ourselves a little too much. If the world as a whole is going to continue to make babies, then the need for new sources of energy is going to rise as well. I don't like SE2 as much as the next person, but it is needed, and the electricity has to come from somewhere. How do you propose they obtain this energy? Word Count: 1124
