The New North-- Laurence Smith 03/24/2011

His focus is on the arctic, which he sees as a developing region as it is supposed to hold a large portion of the world's remaining undiscovered oil and gas.

The melting of the polar ice cap will make accessing these easier-- but only in some ways. Melting ice opens up the ocean, but closes the ice roads built across the tundra.

Global trends he considers-- urbanizing and growing and aging populations. The growing demand for electricity.
