| Poland Feeling Power Pinch |
|
August 8, 2007
Eastern Europe is experiencing growth but is still struggling to reform its energy markets. Poland is no different. But, alarmists are firing warning shots, saying that in five years it may run low on electricity.
The Polish economy ministry issued a report titled "Security of Electricity Deliveries in Coming Years" that is to be published in mid August. It says that solid economic growth means that more energy is required to produce goods and services. As a result, electricity consumption has increased 3-4 percent annually since 2005 and in the capital city of Warsaw consumption has risen by 20 percent in that time frame. |

| Quenching America's Thirst for Natural Gas |
|
July 20, 2007
Getting that Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline built has been a daunting process. The political and financial impediments have kept the project delayed for years. But now, Gov. Sarah Palin submitted a new plan that she says could prompt construction by next spring.
The $30 billion project has been derailed for 25 years. The pipeline would be a 3,400-mile undertaking that would send 4-5 billion cubic feet per day from Alaska's North Slope to the Lower 48. The fields where the gas is found hold 35 trillion cubic feet of known reserves and would undoubtedly help serve America's energy needs. Some experts say the region holds even more natural gas resources. |

Will nuclear energy's progression be slowed by an inability to get uranium to feed the reactors? Some say that underutilized mines have taken a toll and will lead to hardship. Others disagree, saying that the mines can gear up and the free market can respond to changing conditions.
A recent study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that the nuclear industry has lived off commercial and government uranium inventories that are nearly depleted. Globally, uranium production now meets only 65 percent of current reactor requirements, which has led to uranium prices rising from $7 a pound in 2000 to as much as $120 per pound just recently. |

| Building Generation -- and Public Support |
|
|
Consumers have a right to be wary of building new generation. After all, they were told in the mid 1990s that the nation was short power facilities and henceforth "agreed" to a massive build out. Everyone knows the punch line: Demand sank and so did a lot of unregulated generation companies that saw their stock and bond values rapidly tumble.
Now, five years after the worst of it, utilities are looking pretty good. A rebounding economy has driven up the demand for power and kept them cranking along. Their bottom lines, for the most part, are healthy. The offshoot is that the expected future demand for electricity and natural gas is expected to keep steadily rising and necessitate the building of new power generation.

| ASHRAE to Provide Energy Guidance in Clinton Retrofit Program |
|
|
ATLANTA - ASHRAE will play a primary role in former President Bill Clinton's initiative to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings by providing design guidance and tools to reach energy efficiency targets. On May 16, Clinton announced the creation of a global Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program, a project of the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI). This program brings together four of the world's largest energy service companies, five of the world's largest banks, and 16 of the world's largest cities in a landmark program designed to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings.
