Strategic Responses to Global Oil Supply Uncertainties
Recent increases in the price of oil have resulted in a renewed focus on the future of the world’s oil resources. Many variables involved in the supply and price of oil. They include new exploration and extraction technology which will increase reserves, the "green" movement which will reduce demand due to the harmful environmental impact of greenhouse gases, and geopolitics which is a "wild card" and could result in supply interruptions for reasons unrelated to the availability of physical reserves. The panelists will provide their views on appropriate Canadian strategic responses to the uncertainties likely to cause continued volatility in world oil supply and prices.
