Short-Term Energy Outlook
Energy Information Administration, December 8, 2009
A return to normal weather and expectations for economic growth are the primary drivers in EIA’s forecast for consumption increases in the residential, commercial, and
industrial sectors in 2010. However, EIA still expects total consumption to fall as higher natural gas prices contribute to some reversal of the coal‐to‐natural‐gas
switching that took place in the electric power sector during 2009.
A Special Report on Climate Change and the Carbon Economy: Getting Warmer

Elusive Goal of Greening U.S. Energy
The New York Times, December 2, 2009
Growth in clean energy industries and in green jobs has been considerably slower and bumpier than anticipated, industry experts say. But rather than giving up on its green jobs mantra, the White House will rededicate itself to promoting green industries at the jobs meeting, which will bring together business and labor leaders, politicians and economists.
Rising Tiger Sleeping Giant: Asian Nations Set to Dominate the Clean Energy Race by Out-Investing the United States
Breakthrough Institute and The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, November 2009
This report provides the first comprehensive comparison of public investments by the United States and key Asian competitors in core clean energy technologies, including solar, wind, and nuclear power, carbon capture and storage, advanced vehicles and batteries, and high-speed rail. Core findings conclude that China, Japan, and South Korea – have already passed the United States in the production of virtually all clean energy technologies, and over the next five years, the governments of these nations will out-invest the United States three-to-one in these sectors. Should the investment gap persist, the United States will import the overwhelming majority of clean energy
technologies it deploys.
Natural Gas Changes the Energy Map
MIT Technology Review, November/December 2009
Vast amounts of the clean-burning fossil fuel have been discovered in shale deposits, setting off a gas rush. But how it will affect our energy use is still uncertain.
The World Energy Outlook in the Energy & Development Debate
International Energy Agency, November 2009
Energy services provide an essential input to economic activity and they contribute to social development through education and public health, and help meet the basic human need for food and shelter. Many countries have established a virtuous circle of improvements in energy infrastructure and economic growth, nonetheless today 1.5 billion people are still denied access to electricity and around 2.5 billion people rely on traditional biomass as there primary source of energy.
The World Energy Outlook has devoted attention to the energy and development issue developing for many years a series of databases and analysis.

Unbridled Energy: Predicting Volatile Wind, Sun
Available with free subscription
The Wall Street Journal, October 2, 2009
Many states and countries are pledging to produce 20% or more of their electricity from renewable sources within about a decade. That will be a major stretch. The recession has severely crimped renewable-energy investment. Proposals to turn over large swaths of desert and coastline to renewable-energy generation are encountering angry opposition. And the drop in fossil-fuel prices has removed much of the public appetite for a big renewable-energy bid. Yet those very pressures are pushing renewable-energy proponents to pursue their goal as efficiently as possible. And so the search for ways to accommodate the vicissitudes of wind and sun continues to shape up as one of today's great technological quests.
GE's Risky Energy Research
MIT Technology Review, September 25, 2009
Michael Idelchik is vice president of advanced technologies at GE Research, one of the world's largest corporate research organizations. He oversees a wide range of projects, including ones aimed at improving conventional energy sources--with better coal and gas turbines, for example--as well as projects involving renewable energy, primarily wind turbines.

World Development Report 2010
The World Bank, September 15, 2009
Developing countries can shift to lower-carbon paths while promoting development and reducing poverty, but this depends on financial and technical assistance from high-income countries, says World Development Report 2010: Development and Climate Change. High-income countries also need to act quickly to reduce their carbon footprints and boost development of alternative energy sources to help tackle climate change. If they act now, a 'climate-smart' world is feasible, and the costs for getting there will be high but still manageable.

Fueling the "Balance": A Defense Energy Strategy Primer
The Brookings Institution, August 2009
The U.S. Department of Defense is the world’s single largest consumer of energy, using more energy in the course of its daily operations than any other private or public organization, as well as more than 100 nations. There may be no aspect of American defense planning that is as important, and yet little understood and acted upon, as our defense energy security strategy. Increasing our energy efficiency is often framed as an environmental issue, when it has actually become a core national security concern for America in the 21st century.
Greening the Rustbelt
The Economist, August 13, 2009
As the battle over a cap-and-trade bill continues in Congress, the industrial Midwest finds itself playing an awkward role. The climate bill offers two big opportunities, to reduce global warming and boost the green economy in the process. And nowhere are green jobs more loudly promoted than in the rustbelt.

But where is the money coming from and which projects will benefit?
Energy Discovery-Innovation Institutes: A Step Toward America’s Energy Sustainability
The Brookings Institute, February 2009
The need to renew America’s economy, foster its energy security, and respond to global climate change compels the transformation of U.S. energy policy. Innovation and its commercialization must move to the center of national reform. Not only must a broad range of carbon pricing and regulatory responses be adopted, but major increases in federal R&D are essential along with the deployment of bold new research paradigms. To that end, the federal government should establish a national network of regionally-based energy discovery-innovation institutes (e-DIIs) to serve as the hubs of a distributed research network linking the nation’s best scientists, engineers, and facilities. Through such a network, the nation could at once increase its current inadequate energy R&D effort and complement existing resources with a new research paradigm that would join the unique capabilities of America’s research universities to those of corporate R&D and federal laboratories.
Geography Is Dividing Democrats over Energy
The New York Times, January 26, 2009
President Obama is moving quickly to act on the environmental promises that were a centerpiece of his campaign. But tackling global warming will be far more difficult — and more costly — than the new emissions standards for automobiles he ordered with the stroke of a pen on Monday. Already, the Congressional Democrats Mr. Obama will need to carry out his mandate are feuding with one another.
Gulf Oil States Seeking a Lead in Clean Energy
The New York Times, January 12, 2009
Even as President-elect Barack Obama talks about promoting green jobs as America’s route out of recession, gulf states, including the emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, are making a concerted push to become the Silicon Valley of alternative energy.
America's Untapped Energy Resource: Boosting Efficiency
Time, January 12, 2009
Doing less with less may be admirable, but efficiency is about doing the same or more with less. And studies by groups as diverse as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and even the National Petroleum Council have identified efficiency as the way to start addressing our energy and climate crises.
Red Flags as Washington Gears Up to Remake Energy Policy

Oil Price Reshapes the Energy Industry
Platts Insight, December 2008
The years 2005-8 will probably be seen as the starting point for a new oil price paradigm — a major shift in prices comparable to that of the 1970s, when prices rose hundreds of percent in a few years. Now as then, even while economic downturn is driving prices back from historic highs, the fundamental shift remains. And it has had a marked impact on the structure of the energy industry
Energy Goals a Moving Target for States
The New York Times, December 4, 2008
In hopes of slowing global warming and creating “green jobs,” Congress and the incoming administration may soon impose a mandate that the nation get 10 or 15 percent of its electricity from renewable sources within a few years. Yet the experience of states that have adopted similar goals suggests that passing that requirement could be a lot easier than achieving it. The record so far is decidedly mixed: some states appear to be on track to meet energy targets, but others have fallen behind on the aggressive goals they set several years ago.
The Case against Government Intervention in Energy Markets
The CATO Institute, December 1, 2008
Many politicians and pundits are panicked over the existing state of the oil and gasoline markets. Disregarding past experience, these parties advocate massive intervention in those markets, which would only serve to repeat and extend previous errors. These interventionists propose solutions to nonexistent problems. This Policy Analysis reviews the academic literature relevant to these matters and argues that the prevailing policy proposals are premised on a misunderstanding of energy economics and market realities.

Energy & Genius
Forbes, November 24, 2008
This special issue of Forbes explores both the supply and the demand sides of energy economics. On the supply side we look at biofuel-emitting bacteria, micronukes, smarter grids, clean coal and that perennial favorite of politicians, ethanol. On the demand side we look at hybrid cars, the metal mining that may make hybrids more compelling and a utility chief who wants to get paid to produce fewer watts.
IEA's Annual Report Paints Grim Picture of Our Energy Future
ars technica, November 12, 2008
The International Energy Agency is comprised primarily of EU countries, as well as the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. As part of its function, it prepares an annual report that peers into the future of the energy market. Its latest take on things was introduced Wednesday in London. Although some of its predictions have been toned down in light of the current economic slowdown, the report concludes that it's going to be extremely difficult and expensive to ramp up fossil fuel production to meet our needs, meaning the era of cheap oil really is over.
A Splash of Green for the Rust Belt
The New York Times, November 1, 2008
From the faded steel enclaves of Pennsylvania to the reeling auto towns of Michigan and Ohio, state and local governments are aggressively courting manufacturing companies that supply wind energy farms, solar electricity plants and factories that turn crops into diesel fuel. This courtship has less to do with the loftiest aims of renewable energy proponents — curbing greenhouse gas emissions and lessening American dependence on foreign oil — and more to do with paychecks. In the face of rising unemployment, renewable energy has become a crucial source of good jobs, particularly for laid-off Rust Belt workers.

Energy Demand Takes Diverse Paths in 2008
redOrbit, August 14, 2008
While US energy demand this year will be limited by weak economic growth and improved fuel-use efficiency China, Latin America, and the Middle East will sustain worldwide oil demand growth despite high global prices and keep pressure on supply. The extent to which producers can respond to the need for more oil in the short run is inadequate to relieve prices. US oil demand will con- tract this year, and demand for natural gas and coal will get a lift from increased power con- sumption. Hydroelectric power and other renewable sources of energy will also be in higher demand in the US, although they still represent a small share of the energy market.

Energy Technology Perspectives 2008: Fact Sheet – The Blue Scenario
International Energy Agency, June 2008
Global energy needs are expected to grow, with fossil fuels remaining the
dominant source and sharply pushing up CO2 emissions. On our current trajectory,
the global temperature could increase by 6° C by 2100 with dramatic implications
for all countries. Energy security and climate change are global concerns and
require global solutions. The challenge for all countries is to put in motion a
transition to a more secure, lower-carbon energy supply and demand, without
undermining economic growth. An energy technology revolution is needed to set us
on a more sustainable energy path.
Wind Energy by 2030

Brazil as an International Energy Player
Brookings Global Econpmy and Development, May 2008
This paper puts forward an analysis of the current Brazilian energy matrix in terms of its key components—oil, natural gas, hydropower, and biofuels—as well as the policies and market regulations that sustain them. Once this broad picture is established, the paper discusses the sector’s main trends and their international implications, both regionally and globally. The hypothesis is that Brazil has been moving from a strict, self-sufficient, fully state-controlled strategy toward a more efficient and secure energy security approach based on a combination of domestic, regional, and international factors. State control is still an important determinant, but not the central one.

Oil Hits $100, Jolting Markets
The Wall Street Journal, January 3, 2008
The surging price of oil, from just over $10 a barrel a decade ago to $100 yesterday, is altering the wealth and influence of nations and industries around the world. These power shifts will only widen if prices keep climbing, as many analysts predict. Costly oil already is forcing sweeping changes in the airline and auto sectors. It is intensifying the politics of climate change and adding urgency to the search both for fresh sources of crude and for oil alternatives once deemed fringe.
Impacts on U.S. Energy Expenditures and Greenhouse-Gas Emissions of Increasing Renewable-Energy Use
Rand Corporation, 2008
The report shows that increasing renewables use can reduce CO2 emissions and enhance energy security by lowering the cost of imported petroleum. However, a large, inexpensive, easily converted biomass supply is necessary for significantly increased renewable-energy use to have a relatively low impact on consumer energy expenditures. Rapid progress also is needed in the technologies converting biomass feedstock into transportation fuels, and producing power at marginal wind sites. Without progress in these areas, the renewable-energy requirement could substantially increase consumer energy expenditures. Technical advances in provision of economically and environmentally sound biomass energy and wind power generation at lower-quality sites should be top priorities for increasing affordable supplies of renewable energy.
U.S. Still Hooked on Oil in 2030, but Renewables Rise
Reuters, December 12, 2007
The United States will still rely on oil, natural gas and coal for its main energy supplies through 2030, but ethanol and other renewable energy sources will double during the period, the government's top energy forecasting agency said on Wednesday.
As the Price of Oil Soars, Many Turn to Renewables
The Washington Post, November 26, 2007
Green businesses face many hurdles -- regulatory obstacles, technology limitations, high costs or simply old habits that prevent firms from thinking in new ways. But with the price of crude oil above $95 a barrel and worries about climate change mounting, there is more interest than ever in the field. At its core, the business of climate change -- at least the really big business of climate change -- is an energy business. The United States in 2006 produced 5.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide by burning oil, natural gas and coal for energy. Finding ways to use those sources more efficiently or to replace them with energy generated by solar, wind or other renewables is the key to bringing greenhouse-gas emissions down to a level that will slow global warming.
Rising Demand for Oil Provokes New Energy Crisis
The New York Times, November 9, 2007
With oil prices approaching the symbolic threshold of $100 a barrel, the world is headed toward its third energy shock in a generation. But today’s surge is fundamentally different from the previous oil crises, with broad and longer-lasting global implications. Just as in the energy crises of the 1970s and ’80s, today’s high prices are causing anxiety and pain for consumers, and igniting wider fears about the impact on the economy.
Quest for New Energy Supplies is Becoming Tougher
International Herald Tribune, October 8, 2007
As global demand soars and prices climb, energy companies are going to the ends of the earth to find new supplies. In Kazakhstan, petroleum engineers are braving wild temperature swings in the shallow waters of the Caspian Sea to tap the biggest oil discovery of the past 30 years. They are drilling wells six miles deep in the Gulf of Mexico. And on the island of Sakhalin, in eastern Russia, they have drilled horizontal wells through miles of rock to produce oil from a stretch of ocean beset by giant icebergs.
Facing the Hard Truths about Energy
National Petroleum Council, July 2007
The National Petroleum Council conducted this comprehensive study considering the future of oil and natural gas to 2030 in the context of the global energy system. The Council found that total global demand for energy is projected to grow by 50-60 percent by 2030, driven by increasing population and the pursuit of improving living standards. At the same time, there are accumulating risks to the supply of reliable, affordable energy to meet this growth, including political hurdles, infrastructure requirements, and availability of a trained work force. We will need all economic, environmentally responsible energy sources to assure adequate, reliable supply.
