Attachment The Renewable Energy Future and the Decline of Fossil Fuels

  • Regional Assessment of Oil and Gas Exploratory Drilling in the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Area
  • Author: Gregg Little
  • Reference number: 51
  • Submitted: 2026-09-14 - 10:00 PM
  • I am a retired exploration geologist who has worked Canada’s East Coast; Scotian Slope from Georges Bank through Sable Island to the Banquereau area, the Grand Banks’ Terra Nova, Hibernia and White Rose oil fields and the continental shelf off Labrador.  My opposition to offshore exploration is based not only on experience in the industry but also my appreciation of rapid technical advancements and superior economics in renewable energy. We are entering the sunset time-frame of the internal combustion engine and the use of fossil fuels in transportation, HVAC (heating and cooling) and electric power generation.  History is repeating, but at a much more rapid rate, where wood became peat became coal became oil and gas and now becoming renewables for our energy sources.  In the last few years solar and wind coupled with battery storage has superseded fossil fuel electric power generation in economics, reliability, speed in deployment and lower costs (construction, environmental impact, public acceptance, etc.). Putting our national treasury into developing an East Coast Offshore oil & gas exploration industry is a huge economic risk.  Soon, once global demand for petroleum and natural gas declines and other regions around the globe produce fossil fuels at much lower costs (lift costs), how can much more expensive east coast production compete?  Are we willing to support very costly stranded assets?  Closure of the Strait of Hormuz and slowing the flow of oil is a very recent example of how countries are in the process of pivoting away from expensive and unreliable fossil fuels and to more economical electrification through wind, solar and other renewables ...

  • The climate is in a fragile state already past the breaking point of climate change effecting our lives. The effects that offshore drilling causes is far too risky and dangerous. Not only does it put aquatic wildlife at risk it also puts people and the climate at risk. We know that fossil fuels push climate change, so why should we be increasing the production of such? It is foolish to support. I am formally stating that I do not support the exploration or execution of oil and gas drilling in and offshore Canada and specifically Nova Scotia.

Attachment Oppose Offshore Pil and Gas Exploration off Nova Scotia - Lessons from the Gulf of Mexico

  • Regional Assessment of Oil and Gas Exploratory Drilling in the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Area
  • Author: Sebastian Andreu

  • I am writing to formally oppose the proposed offshore oil and gas exploration activities off Nova Scotia currently under impact assessment. I have lived in the Gulf of Mexico region and witnessed firsthand the toll that offshore oil and gas development takes on coastal communities and marine ecosystems. Beyond the catastrophic 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon spill, the Gulf has experienced a steady pattern of smaller leaks, equipment failures, and near misses that don’t always make national or international news, but accumulate real and economic damage over time. They are a predictable cost of doing business at this scale. I also want to raise something that is often underestimated: offshore exploration and production do not stay offshore. They requiere extensive supporting infrastructure on land including staging yards, pipelines, processing facilities, increased vessel and helicopter traffic, and industrial buildout in and around coastal communities. In a region like ours, South Shore Nova Scotia, where our economy and identity are closely tied to tourism, fishing, and the natural coastline, this kind of Industrial footprint carries risks that go well beyond the hypothetical spill scenario. It changes the character of the coast day to day. Nova Scotia’s coastal economy depends on clean water, healthy fisheries, and an unspoiled coastline for tourism. A single significant spill or an accumulation of smaller incidents can cause damage which can take decades to reverse, if it can be reversed at all.    Having seen this play out elsewhere, I do not believe the potential economic benefits of offshore drilling justify the risk to our coastline, our marine environment, ...

  • Please do not drill for oil, and especially not in the ocean.  This is a terrible idea.  Inevitably, there will be an oil spill.  Please do not destroy the Nova Scotia Coast and the Atlantic ocean.  This will harm and even kill all sorts of animals.  And fossil fuels are destroying the climate.  They are not sustainable.  We will run out, and by then the ocean will be polluted and the air quality very bad.

We wish to proceed with Consultation. We are concerned that the anticipated timeframe is simply insufficient to garner meaningful community feedback. In comparison, the timeline for the Regional Assessment of Offshore Wind in Nova Scotia spanned over two years while this Regional Assessment is being compressed into less then six months. This restricted timeline largely covers the summer months when our Mi’kmaq Communities are participating in a number of cultural events and traditional activities. We are cognizant that the decisions which have preceded this Regional Assessment (RA) and the timing of the RA cannot be altered by your team, and yet, it is important to formally register our concern on the basis that this process does not accord with our understanding of the Crown’s consultation obligations. We do not wish to stand in the way of ethical, environmentally protective developments, and yet this manner of decision making at the provincial and federal level will have the effect of jeopardising projects rather than advancing them. In that context, we nonetheless would like to provide the following comments on the documents provided by the Impact Assessment ...

  • Please do not drill in the ocean for oil.  There is chance of a spill and Hope For Wildlife doesn't have the capacity to handle that many animals.  How would you even clean all that oil up anyway?  And fossil fuels put all the  carbon from the ancient plants back into the atmosphere.  We don't need that.  And once the oil is all used up, the place goes bankrupt.  Please switch to renewables.

  • Guysborough County Inshore Fishermen’s Association is a commercial fishing not-for- profit organization accredited by the provincial government under the fisheries Organization Support Act. We represent multi-species fish harvesters who reside in eastern Guysborough County. There are 140 members of multi-species license holders with fisheries conducted in the inshore, mid-shore and offshore. The association has a volunteer board of directors who are elected from the membership. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in discussions regarding positive and negative impacts of oil and gas exploratory drilling in the joint jurisdictional waters off Nova Scotia. The health and viability of Canada’s seafood industry is paramount to the economy here in Nova Scotia and must be preserved. The dire economic picture here in Nova Scotia requires action and an increase of growth in all sectors. We acknowledge offshore oil and gas activities have provided economic benefit to our province in the past. Activities associated with this industry have been performed safely with impacts restricted to the ocean space proximate to the rig. We support the exploration of future oil and gas activities in Nova Scotia waters if other marine users such as the fishing industry is able to continue seafood harvesting unimpeded, safety regulations are followed and insured bonds are put forth to secure remediation efforts if an accident does occur. The strategic environmental assessments SEAs are complete for this study area, together with this regional assessment, the offshore wind regional assessment report and future consultations; we believe it is possible to plan new oil and gas ...

Why does industry have so much access to government?  Why can Industrial lobbyists write off the expenses of lobbying against industrial profits while people with environmental priorities and no profits meet closed doors?

  • Regional Assessment of Oil and Gas Exploratory Drilling in the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Area The draft Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Regional Assessment of Oil and Gas Exploratory Drilling in the Canada–Nova Scotia Offshore Area is more comprehensive than many historical offshore assessment frameworks in Canada, particularly in its inclusion of cumulative effects, Indigenous knowledge, Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+), and Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk). However, from a legal, conservation, governance, and ethical standpoint, the document contains several significant weaknesses and internal tensions that could undermine the credibility, defensibility, and legitimacy of the Regional Assessment process and any future regulatory decisions flowing from it. One of the most significant legal concerns is the appearance that the Regional Assessment is partially intended to facilitate future offshore development rather than neutrally evaluate whether such development is environmentally and socially appropriate. This concern is created by language in the Context section emphasizing the need to “create a competitive regime,” “reduce risk of potential future regulatory delays,” “attract investment,” and “accelerate exploration.” While economic development objectives are legitimate public policy considerations, their prominent placement early in the document may create the perception that the assessment outcome has been partially predetermined. Under the Impact Assessment Act, regional assessments are intended to provide objective, evidence-based analysis of cumulative environmental, social, health, and economic effects. The current framing risks allegations of institutional bias or ...

  • I am opposed to assessing possibilities for oil and gas resource development.  Why consider fracking again when that have been vociferously campaigned against and rejected fairly recently?  Environmental concerns have increased, climate chnge is advancing, and we are wasting time, money and effort that could be much more fruitfully spent on developing sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind.  There are many new options in these technologies that need research, location planning and development.  Let's develop expertise in these areas.  Please invest in new local companies exploring sustainable energy alternatives that could serve Nova Scotia indefintely and become important economic drivers.  Oil and gas development by big corporations have a history of damaging and polluting the environment, and leaving an awful mess.  Promising innovations need the support, and sometimes leadership of a government that can think outside the box and look at the big, long term picture.  Oil and gas may provide some short term economic bling, but it is not going to serve us for seven+ generations!

  • Offshore  oil and gas is a natural resource which belongs to all of Nova Scotians. It can be developed for the benefit of all Nova Scotia if we keep in mind the mistakes that have been made in the past.     In the 18th and 19th centuries, Nova Scotia wealth was built around the North Atlantic. It had a successful fishing and whaling industry and in order to support that fishing and whaling industry it had a successful shipbuilding industry, with one of rhe largest merchant marine fleets in the world. However in the late 19th century, and early 20th century, Nova Scotians forgot that the natural resource was not bottomless and the fishstocks were overfished and the forests were overcut. Lesson one we must act responsibly in utilizing the natural resource given to us in the form of offshore oil and gas     In the 19th and 20th centuries Nova Scotia had an abundance of coal. This also resource brought great wealth to areas like Pictou County and industrial Cape Breton, but once again it was developed insensitively with respect to the rights of labour and the environment once providing a lesson to be learnt for offshore resource development. Lesson number two,our oil and gas must be developed with great respect for the rights of workers and for the safety of workers and with respect to the environment.   Much of what we see in Nova Scotia, our towns and cities our universities and colleges, our public institutions in the form of museums,  concert halls and churches were built and developed by money provided by the development of these resources.   The current population of 1 million demands a continuation of the "East Coast ...

  • It is VERY NECESSARY to facilitate off shore drilling of oil and gas in Nova Scotia ASAP! This province desperately requires the financial gains if it is to sustain its health, education, transportation and social infrastructures.  I would only ask that the drilling rigs be environmentally "the best" available in the world and that the companies operating them be experienced and in NO way associated with the Russia or China or Indonesia.  The more Canadian ownership in Canadian off shore  drilling enterprises the better.  We cannot afford "fly by nighters" who will weasel out of environmental responsibilities!  I am thoroughly SICK of "naysayers" re fracking and offshore drilling in Nova Scotia - many whom are essentially government employees (St FX professor as an example) and  people feeding off donations from foreign parties (USA and others) seeking to create chaos and dissent and control our oil industry to the detriment of Canadians! Thank you for providing this platform and thus allowing my voice to be heard!

Decolonization/reconciliation is not self-improvement. It is not a better workshop, a warmer policy, or a more inclusive institutional mood. Tuck and Yang remind us that decolonization/reconciliation is not a metaphor. It concerns land, power, life, and the unsettling of settler certainty. If we turn it into professional language, we have already made it smaller than it is.   2. Responsibility is not guilt. Guilt can become another way of centring ourselves. Responsibility is harder. It asks what we benefit from, what we normalize, what we inherit, what we protect, and what we avoid because it may cost us comfort or status. The TRC’s Calls to Action are not invitations to feel better. They are obligations to act differently.   3. Consent is not consultation. This is one of the deepest institutional habits.

  • Marsh Dale Salt Spring I request a copy of this comment be saved in the archives for future reference when auditing should begin... Here's a way Dal might rip off a 30 million $ grant or contract for a major Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) means managing significant public or private funds. If your university wants to legally retain portions of these funds as indirect costs or administrative fees, or generate savings to repurpose, you need to employ standard budgeting and procurement strategies. Here is a clear breakdown of how institutions try to achieve this legally and transparently: 1. Negotiate Institutional Overhead (Indirect Costs) When a project is funded, the sponsor usually pays for direct costs (i.e. hiring ecologists, data collection, fieldwork) plus an Indirect Cost (IDC) rate. Universities negotiate IDCs to cover utilities, administration, and facilities.If your institutional rate is typically (40%)a $30 million grant generates $12 million in overhead for the university to keep and allocate at its discretion. Check the grant's guidelines, as some philanthropic foundations or government bodies cap IDCs at much lower rates (10-15% or 1-2 million$)! 2. Streamline Project Scoping & Procurement to spend less than the allocated $30 million while still delivering the required assessment. Optimize resource allocation: Efficient Methodologies: Use targeted sampling, remote sensing, and existing Government of Canada Environmental Data to reduce expensive field data collection. Competitive Bidding: Require rigorous competitive bidding (RFPs) for subcontractors, labs, and ...

The plants will also run on diesel (light oil) as a “secondary option.”   Critics of the IESO plans for the gas plants have pointed out that the IESO should ...

  • Feeling down about Tim's triumphant announcement about the bid for offshore gas?  The bidding results are not the cause for joy the Premier's claims. The Premier's desire for new offshore gas development  is as shaky - and risky - as his onshore gas hopes. Bids on two parcels were received from one company, Inceptio. No bids were received on the other 11 parcels.   The Halifax Examiner provides some insight into the bids and Inceptio. "Those two bids from a lone and obscure company are in stark contrast to the Sable Offshore Energy Project that operated from 1999 to 2018. That project was operated by a consortium of some of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, Shell Oil, and Imperial Oil, among others. Notably, none of those established and heavy-hitting corporations were interested in the recent bidding opportunity. “Inceptio Oil and Gas, led by Nova Scotian James Edens, has stepped forward with bids on two parcels in the latest call for bids. They believe in Nova Scotia. And they’re willing to invest more than $210 million,” wrote Houston. "Early this morning, the LinkedIn page said Edens was living in Aberdeen, Scotland. After Houston’s press release was published, the LinkedIn page was edited to say he is a resident of “Canada,” no city named.  "Inceptio has no web page. There’s no indication who is financing the offshore drilling operation."  A reader comment points out that in Endole Open, Inceptio is listed as having 2 officers/directors and its Confirmation Statement 2022- 2025 has its total assets at 50K; total liabilities 30K. ...

  • I believe Nova Scotia can leverage on new technologies available to extract its oil and gas responsibly without having much negative impact on the environment. With proper planning and firm regulatory supervision, Nova Scotia oil and gas exploratory activities will be successful and beneficial to all.  With the advancemnet in the technology space and proper collaboration with the host communites, where the exploration activites will happen,  should provide a good opportunity for Nova Scotia to explore responsibly. Nova Scotia is closer to Europe and being on Atlantic route and it has the resources that the world  needs, means it can no longer delay its offerings. This should also uniquely open-up universities within maritimes to more research in responsible oil and gas exploration that could reduce negative impact on the  marinelife and the human beings living within  province. Most importanly, oil and gas exploration in Nova Scotia is critical to its economic survival and will reduce cost of living and  lifting the province from the current low GDP rating in North America.
