Hello everyone:

This talk is about energy use in the Maritimes. It may be a bit  
off-topic, but I think given concerns about climate change, there will  
be some who might find it of interest.

Energy Security in an Energy Superpower

Canada is one of a handful of countries that can export a wide range 

of energy products: oil, coal, natural gas, uranium, and electricity. 

 Perhaps because of this, the Canadian federal government and most, 

if not all, provincial governments do not have energy policies that 

recognize the need for energy security.


Atlantic Canada is one region that is particularly vulnerable to the 

effects of peak oil, notably rising energy prices and supply 

shortfalls, since almost all of the region's energy is imported.  

Although the region boasts large hydroelectric facilities, and crude 

oil and natural gas production, these offer little hope in achieving 

energy security, as most of the production is destined for export 

markets.


After examining Canada's claim to energy superpower status, the 

presentation considers the energy security implications of Atlantic 

Canada's energy production, supply, and demand.  The energy policies 

of the four provincial governments are demonstrated as inadequate to 

handle any significant price rise or supply drop.  

Several sectors of the region's economy are examined in terms of the 

potential impact on their energy requirements through demand 

reduction and the use of indigenous supplies.
