Progressive 15 Fall Meeting April 22, 2010 Joe Kiely Vice President of Operations, Ports-to-Plains Alliance It’s about connections …. A pipeline! Ports-to-Plains Alliance Nearly half of U.S. oil and gas production Source: U.S. Department of Energy Why Does the Alliance Matter? Primary pipeline corridor for North America’s oil Why Does the Alliance Matter? 7 of America’s top 10 wind states Source: U.S. Department of Energy Why Does the Alliance Matter? America’s agricultural heartland. Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture Why Does the Alliance Matter? Percent Population Change – 2000-2009 Source: U.S. Census Bureau Why Does the Alliance Matter? It’s about a Common Economy … Energy … Agriculture … Trade … Tourism … It’s about an Energy Economy … Its Jobs!

Capacity grew 39% between 2008 and 2009. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) estimates 38 manufacturing companies were brought online, announced or expanded in the United States in 2009. The United States ranks 1st in the world in wind power generation above China and Germany for 2009, per the Global Wind Energy Center (GWEC). * Numbers provided by AWEA unless otherwise noted. Wind & Solar Facts Solar Facts*: United States solar power generation now totals 8,775 MW Powers close to 1.5 million American homes.

Electric system stability will limit installed wind generation installation to a fraction of the theoretical capability. What About Those Oil Sands? -- The Opportunity ٭Ft McMurray • There are 1.7 trillion barrels of oil in the Canadian Oil Sands • Over half of this potential resides in the Athabasca McMurray Sandstone • Only 20% can be mined – the rest is too deep Fort McMurray Oil Sands Reclamation: Before and After 2000 2006 • Alberta’s oil sands in contextEnergy Development in Alberta Global Crude Oil Reserves by Country 300 World Oil Reserves 264 billion barrels 250 200 State owned or controlled 175 136 150 Accessible Oil Reserves Canada’s Oil Sands 53% Accessible 115 102 100 99 Other Other Other Other Accessible Accessible Accessible Accessible Reserves Reserves Reserves Reserves 92 47% 60 44 50 36 30 21 0 Saudi Arabia Canada Iran Iraq Kuwait Source: Oil & Gas Journal Dec. 2008 Venezuela Abu Dhabi Russia Libya Nigeria Kazhakhstan United States Significant Source of US Supply The Challenge: Viscosity 10,000,000 Bitumen at virgin reservoir conditions 1,000,000 Peanut Butter Viscosity (cP) 100,000 Ketchup 10,000 Maple Syrup 1,000 Olive Oil 100 Bitumen under SAGD Cream 10 Water 1 0 50 Typical oil in the ground 100 150 Temperature (deg C) 200 250 Oil Sands: In Situ Recovery In Situ Recovery: Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage • 80% of resource • 45% of production • No tailings ponds Cyclic Steam Process • No water from the Athabasca River Transportation Corridors Slide 29 Why Colorado? … Domestic -- 2007 It’s about Exports Domestic Rail Trade Truck Montana … Over $10.47 billion 747 7% Nebraska 1,117 11% New Mexico 1,926 18% North Dakota 120 1% Oklahoma 420 4% South Dakota 227 2% Texas 275 3,304 34% Wyoming 2,337 22% Total ($m) 275 10,198 100% 10,473 Rail Truck Change Change 2002-2007 2002-2007 -100% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% -19% 0% -34% 62% 55% 195% 100% 75% 21% 46% 111% 81% 73% Why Colorado? … It’s about North American Trade … Mexico … Exports … Truck …$788m up 32% since 2004 Mexico … Imports … Truck …$694m up 23% since 2004 Why Colorado? … It’s about North American Trade … Canada … Exports … Truck …$1.6b up 18% since 2004 Canada … Imports … Truck …$1.1b up 35% since 2004 Why Colorado? … Almost 73% of Truck Trade with Mexico goes through PTP Ports of Laredo, Eagle, Pass and Del Rio.

It’s about the rural heartland … Most communities under 20,000 population Most communities are a long way from their state capitals. Most communities have little voice in Washington, D.C. How can we be heard about … The importance of a national transportation vision The value of freight corridors The importance of connecting rural areas to markets How can we be heard about … The importance of NHS High Priority Corridors connecting to new markets north and south. The expansion of these corridors The value of Border Infrastructure to Commerce and Security How can we be heard about … The need for a pilot project addressing truck permitting, weights and combinations Opposition to legislation that limits the opportunities for expansion of rural highways The opportunity for North American energy security How can we be heard about … All these items through a multi-state caucus!
