A new energy resource has been discovered on Nova Scotian soil! It is cheaper than coal, oil, gas and renewables; it is abundantly available; it will reduce pollution the more we use it; and it will create jobs throughout the province. Politicians are debating over how fast we can tap this vast reservoir. There is no need to go looking offshore; we only need to insulate our houses, change our lightbulbs, and legislate building and appliance standards. This clean, abundant and cheap resource is called energy efficiency.

As a part of the new Nova Scotia strategy, the government—through the Department of Energy—is opening another door for green energy producers in the province. Energy Minister Bill Dooks will ask the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to create new rates for green energy producers to sell power to municipal utilities. These rates are also necessary for retail sales of renewable energy.
