Why does Québec have such a low energy price?
• Average cost of a kilowatthour = 2.09¢ (2012)→ Cheap hydropower
• “Native load commitment”:obligation to sell electricity
at a regulated price to local consumers

National Energy Program (1980-1984)Main elements of the program:• a blended “made-in-Canada” price of oil
consumed in Canada: $18.50 versus $35 (Sept. 1980 world price)
• a petroleum and gas revenue tax of 8% on all production of oil and gas in Canada
• a federal share of petroleum production income rising from 10 to 24%

How can reason prevail over history?
• Think of a Canadian energy framework– Electricity– Greenhouse gases– Oil & gas (i.e. pipelines)
• Assess the benefits of such a framework• Explain – Educate – Engage
