Where will the oil come from?
• By 2015 the world will need another four billion barrels/year
• How?
– Saudi Arabia produces 3.5 billion barrels/year
– World production is declining at 5.2 percent/year (1.5 billion barrels)
– Many producing countries in decline (UK, Mexico)
– Non-conventional fuels (biofuels, tar sands, offshore, deep water) are expensive and cannot make up the shortfall
Other issues
• Changes in the oil market:– Heavy-sour crude replacing light-sweet crude
– Exploration and development costs soaring
– Weakness of US dollar
– Tensions in Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Mexico, Venezuela
• Growth in “resource nationalism”:– Russia/Gazprom vs. Shell and BP (TNK-BP)
– Venezuela vs. ExxonMobil, Chevron, Conoco-Philips
• State of reserves are unknown
International Energy Agency’s Medium Term Oil Report
• July 2007:– “Supply crunch” starting in 2009:
• OECD production begins to tighten and fall
• OPEC spare capacity shortfall
– OPEC and Russia expected to pick up the slack
• July 2008:– OPEC spare capacity will drop to negligible levels
over the next five years– Non-OPEC supply growth will peak– World economic downturn will soften blow until
2011
Natural gas and coal prices are rising too…

Energy security
• What:– The availability of a regular (i.e., uninterrupted)
supply of energy at an affordable price.
• Why:– Economic growth– Poverty reduction– Political stability
• Requires:– Supply – Infrastructure
Sources: IEA, 2001; “Energy Security Issues”, World Bank, 2005
Approaches to energy security
• USA: – Military, trade, national production, biofuels
• Europe: – Russia, nuclear, biofuels
• China: – Long-term trade deals, takeovers
• Canada: – Not to worry, “bastion of energy security”

Can Nova Scotia rely on Canada?
• No significant energy corridors:– 300 MWel connection to New Brunswick
– Natural gas pipeline to New England
• NAFTA proportionality clause (Chapters 6 and 21) restrict reduction of energy exports
• Lower Churchill (2,300 MW):– Earliest completion date: 2015
– Competition for energy from other jurisdictions
The four ‘R’s of energy security
• Review:– Energy existing supplies and infrastructure– End-use energy requirements
• Reduce:– Reduce demand– Conservation and efficiency measures
• Replace:– Replace insecure energy sources with secure ones:
• Diversify suppliers• Alternative energy sources
• Restrict:– New demand should be met from secure sources
Review: It’s the end-use, stupid!

What can be done…
• Lower building temperatures?
• Switch to:– Natural gas?
– Biomass?
– Electricity?
• Subsidies?
• Requisition fuel?
• Rationing?
• Heat shelters?
Nova Scotia’s dilemma
• Supply:– Overwhelming reliance on imported energy– Ill-prepared for rising energy costs– Limited domestic energy supplies
• Infrastructure:– Rising costs will limit actions– Other jurisdictions are facing similar problems
• Short-term issues will dominate:– Food and fuel costs will hurt many Nova Scotians– Energy security will trump emissions reduction– A cold and hungry voter is an unhappy voter
