$4/gal gas to cost the US 600,000 jobs over the following two years
http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2011/02/18/here-comes-4-gasoline/ Here comes $4 gasoline U.S. oil prices look reassuringly calm till you look below the surface. “It would not take much” to send gas prices back to $4, says Jacob. Cold weather, Saudi reluctance to increase production and possible refinery outages could all play their part. Even a smaller rise could slow the snaillike recovery of the U.S. economy. Jacob and others say $3.50 a gallon this summer looks like a good bet, and a gas price at those levels...
WikiLeaks: Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil
US diplomat convinced by Saudi expert that reserves of world’s biggest oil exporter have been overstated by nearly 40% John Vidal, environment editor, guardian.co.UK, Tuesday 8 February 2011 The US fears that Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, may not have enough reserves to prevent oil prices escalating, confidential cables from its embassy in Riyadh show. The cables, released by WikiLeaks, urge Washington to take seriously a warning from a senior Saudi government oil executive that the kingdom’s crude oil reserves may have been overstated by as much as 300bn barrels – nearly 40%.

U.S. Military Orders Less Dependence on Fossil Fuels
By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL With insurgents increasingly attacking the American fuel supply convoys that lumber across the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan, the military is pushing aggressively to develop, test and deploy renewable energy to decrease its need to transport fossil fuels. Last week, a Marine company from California arrived in the rugged outback of Helmand Province bearing novel equipment: portable solar panels that fold up into boxes; energy-conserving lights; solar tent shields that provide shade and electricity; solar chargers for computers and communications equipment. The 150 Marines of Company I, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, will be the first...
U.S. Energy, (Oil)Mining Companies Must Disclose Government Payments
U.S. energy companies will soon have to reveal how much they pay foreign governments for rights to produce crude oil, natural gas and minerals around the world. Tucked near the end of the more than 2,000-page final version of the financial reform bill is language requiring energy companies to submit the payment information annually to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The provision was added by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, a long-time supporter of the voluntary Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, and by Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, also a Democrat. That global initiative is backed...
BP Damage Assesment, over 200 million gallons!
BP’s blownout Deepwater Horizon well gushed up to 2.6 million gallons a day, the federal government now says, a total equivalent of 19 Exxon Valdezes. For months, BP insisted the figure of 1,000 then 5,000 barrels a day. BP will be responsible for a $17.6 billion fine – $4,300 for each barrel of oil, less the 800,000 barrels directly siphoned from the well-head. BP’s leaking well gushed 62,000 barrels of oil a day, the federal government said Monday in a revision of its figures that reveals how far off initial estimates turned out to be. The new...
oil giant BP: 97% of Worst Industry Violations
Renegade Refiner: OSHA Says BP Has “Systemic Safety Problem” 97% of Worst Industry Violations Found at BP Refineries By Jim Morris and M.B. Pell | May 16, 2010 “a risk taking corporation that operated in an industry with ineffective regulatory oversight.” Two refineries owned by oil giant BP account for 97 percent of all flagrant violations found in the refining industry by government safety inspectors over the past three years, a Center for Public Integrity analysis shows. Most of BP’s citations were classified as “egregious willful” by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and reflect alleged violations...
Michigan Oil Spill Damages Wildlife, Forces Residents To Evacuate
July 31st, 2010 On Monday, a disastrous leak in one of the world’s largest pipeline systems gushed over 1 million gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River, located in southwest Michigan. Already, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm has declared the area a disaster zone, quickly activating State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to ensure all state resources are devoted to oil spill response. “From my perspective, the response has been anemic,” Granholm said. Spill workers and volunteers have been hard at work, cleaning the horrifyingly oily water:
Pipeline Leaks In Alaska’s Oldest Oil Field
Thursday, 22 July 2010 8:37AM ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) – An estimated 630 gallons of oil has leaked from a buried pipeline in Alaska’s oldest operating oil field, state environmental officials said Wednesday. The leak was discovered at the Swanson River oil field in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge south of Anchorage, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) said. The field, which produces both oil and natural gas, is operated by Chevron Corp. Chevron has shut in the two wells that feed the affected pipeline, said Steve Russell, an environmental program specialist with the DEC.

Judge Who Struck Down Moratorium Has Owned Transocean Stock * By Kate Sheppard; Tue Jun. 22, 2010 A federal judge in New Orleans on Tuesday sided with the oil industry, striking down the temporary moratorium on new offshore exploration and deepwater drilling the Obama administration imposed last month. That judge, it turns out, has in recent years had interests in Transocean-the world’s largest offshore drilling company and the owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig-as well as other energy companies engaged in offshore oil extraction. According to the most recently available financial disclosure form for US District Court...
Deep Water Horizon Oil spill, no prevention, clean-up workers getting sick
BERNARD LAGAN, May 31, 2010 In the US, which assumes no engineering challenge is beyond conquer – nor does it lack the private capital to achieve it – the brackish rouge beneath the waves that is slowly strangling the Louisiana shore not only stains the sea and the sands, that creeping black is also gutting confidence, upturning myths and ruining reputations. When Americans learned at the weekend that British Petroleum (BP) – which drilled the hole in the seabed nearly two kilometres under the sea – had attempted to seal it 16 times since Thursday by forcing...
Oil Spill focuses our attention on foreign oil
By T. Boone Pickens – 05-20-2010 Without minimizing the environmental issues involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, let’s focus on the economics of the situation. This accident has not disrupted the 19 million barrels of oil we used every day in April – 12.3 million of which was imported oil. In the weeks since the accident, crude oil prices have actually dropped about $15 per barrel – which shows there are much broader forces at work in pricing crude than even a spill like this one. We should not allow this accident to divert our...
Obama suspends new Virginia offshore drilling bid
Oil has been escaping at a rate of nearly 200,000 3,000,000 gallons (!) a day since April 20th May 14, 2010, 8:05 a.m. EDT NPR reported late Thursday that scientific analysis of a video of the leak, released Wednesday by BP, put the rate closer to 70,000 barrels (2,800,000 gal.) a day, making the resulting spill already far worse than the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident in Alaska. The report cited analysis by Steve Werely of Purdue University, who used a technique he said was accurate to about 20%. BP officials said in a May 4 briefing to...
BP’s Slick Greenwashing
The petroleum giant tried to sell itself as a green industry leader. That was just an oily tactic. By James Ridgeway | Tue May. 4, 2010 5:30 AM PDT For the last decade, BP has been busily engaged in a multi-million-dollar greenwashing campaign. Changing its name from British Petroleum to BP, the company adopted a new slogan, “Beyond Petroleum,” and began a “rebranding” effort to depict itself as a public-spirited, environmentally sensitive, green energy enterprise, the very model of 21st century corporate responsibility. It’s going to take more than a name change and a clever ad campaign...
Short-term Canadian boost in global Natural Gas supplies
Natural Gas, not Oil, becoming more cheaply available in the US and Canada Shale Drilling Moves North, Upending Canada Gas Forecasts by Edward Welsch; Dow Jones Newswires; Tuesday, February 23, 2010 OTTAWA (Dow Jones), Feb. 23, 2010 An unconventional drilling technique that sparked a boom in U.S. gas production has made its way north. Companies in Canada, the world’s fourth-largest natural gas producer, are turning their attention to gas trapped in shale rock. In the U.S., the emergence of horizontal drilling and high-pressure liquid injections into these formations helped fuel the boom in gas supplies and subsequent...
What Arab Nations do when their oil is running out
Arab Nations Want a Piece of the Green Energy Pie, Too Feb 17th 2010 Europe, North America and Asia have been the primary drivers of the green tech industry thus far, especially in the realm of wind and solar power. Meanwhile, Arab countries have maintained their dominance over oil and gas exports, controlling 45 percent of oil and roughly one quarter of all gas reserves globally. But now, either to claim their stake in a burgeoning industry or to prepare for life after oil and gas , several Arab states are making aggressive moves to...
reliance on fossil fuels could have “severe consequences”
feb. 11 2010 Bloomberg — Climate change and U.S. reliance on fossil fuels could have “severe consequences,” including potential surges in oil prices and risks to national security, the White House Council of Economic Advisers said today. “Continued reliance on fossil fuels is leading to the buildup of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and is changing our climate,” the CEA said in its annual report to President Barack Obama. “Left unaddressed, these trends will have increasingly severe consequences over time.”
Whitehouse
Tell Pres. Obama we still want the changes he promised, not capitulation, not wishy-washy excuses.
