This includes almost 24 million inactive leased acres in the Gulf of Mexico, which potentially could hold more than 11 billion barrels of oil and 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. We’re also exploring and assessing new frontiers for oil and gas development from Alaska to the Mid- and South Atlantic. —President Obama.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 75% do not think the country is doing enough to develop its own gas and oil resources. 49% said, when given the choice, that increasing the supply of oil by finding new sources is a better energy policy than reducing demand by cutting gas and oil consumption.
However, when peak demand is not required the inefficiencies of idling coal, nuclear and gas powered power plants has become both very uneconomic and non-responsive to changes in demand for today’s market. Supplementing baseload coal-, nuclear- and gas-powered power pants in a grid strategy for tomorrow. Click to enlarge.
Furthermore, this latest national survey, conducted March 7-11, 2012 among 1,503 adults, finds that support for allowing more offshore oil and gas drilling in US waters, which plummeted during the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, has recovered to pre-spill levels. Opinion about tax cuts for energy companies is about where it was in 2008.
A new Energy Department study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) indicates that by 2025 wind and solar power electricity generation could become cost-competitive without federal subsidies, if new renewable energy development occurs in the most productive locations. mmBtu and $8.43/mmBtu.

The scenarios were all able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the 2-degree target by 2020 by using a combination of the following: Improving energy efficiency: primary energy production would need to drop up to 11% from business-as-usual models in 2020, and the amount of energy used per unit of GDP would need to fall 1.1-2.3%
The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. United States’ Wind on the Wire The largest renewable-energy infrastructure project in U.S.
40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with production-related energy supplies by 2020. Some €600 million is to be invested in expanding the use of renewable energies such as wind, solar and hydroelectric power. (At 25% less energy and water consumption, waste and emissions.
Today, it might seem a bit optimistic to pin hopes for renewable energy on a state that still gets 89 percent of its electricity from natural gas. But Rhode Island plans to fill the gap with as much as 600 megawatts of new wind power. In similar fashion, Texans could choose to double down on that state's own wind power portfolio.
The new survey finds continuing support for a range of policies to address the nation's energy supply, including requiring improved vehicle fuel efficiency and increasing federal funding for research on wind, solar and hydrogen technology. Currently, 51% favor allowing more offshore oil and gas drilling, up from 44% in June.
solar and wind), water and CO 2 to produce liquid or gaseous fuels with a very low carbon intensity. Underneath the e-fuels banner, Audi also includes renewable electricity for recharging its e-tron vehicles (“e-power”) and, should the market so require it, “green” hydrogen (e-hydrogen, derived in the e-gas process).
It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy. Better Together.
Florida legislature is about to ban offshore wind turbines in state waters, which wouldn’t be put there to begin with, to protect the beaches. Excluding hurricanes, of course, Florida doesn’t have sufficient wind power, either onshore or offshore, that, say, states in the US Northeast or Texas have to sustain a wind power industry.
Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. It follows the A3 Sportback g-tron as the brand’s second model to use natural gas or climate-friendly Audi e-gas. lb) of gas allows for a range of more than 500 kilometers (310.7
(Some fear that Chinese firms could do an end run around such barriers by producing EVs in places like Mexico and Brazil.) The EU currently has a tariff of only 10 percent on imported cars, but the European Commission is considering whether to impose higher tariffs , and other protectionist measures are in the wind.
The new propulsion system will offer a General Motors’-estimated total driving range of some 420 miles and with regular charging, owners are expected to travel more than 1,000 miles on average between gas fill-ups. engine will be manufactured at GM’s Toluca, Mexico engine plant for the first year of production, then shift to the Flint, Mich.
As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Currently that means burning coal, coke, fuel oil, or natural gas, often along with waste plastics and tires.
Tire noise was minimal Wind and road (tire) noise was low, but at times the engine was noisy during stress, such as aggressive acceleration or climbing a grade. various parts are sourced from Canada and Mexico, with the final assembly point of Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico.
