Securing our energy future? A review of Nova Scotia's energy sector in 2004

[Written for CCPA-NS]
In 2003, and again in 2004, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy released
a report detailing the province's progress in meeting the goals and
objectives outlined in Nova Scotia's 2001 Energy Strategy. The Department
of Energy has decided that no such document will be released in 2005,
stating that they will review progress internally instead.
In the absence of a government .progress report. the current paper reviews
some of the major events in Nova Scotia's energy sector in 2004. This
paper shows that offshore activity continues to decline; that liquefied
natural gas is needed in order to make the Maritimes and Northeast
Pipeline economically viable; and that the Electricity Act benefits Nova
Scotia Power more than the average Nova Scotian. The paper also considers
other issues, showing that the province is failing to adequately address
important concerns such as climate change and energy security.
