Obama: "We have a lot to learn from Brazil" - Ok then, let's learn it.

See video - at least the first minute.





I definitely agree. Let's follow Brazil's 2 prong energy policy. Sounds good to me.



- Neither the Brazilian government nor state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) is willing to stop producing oil and natural gas or to decrease output. Petrobras produces 1.9 million b/d of oil,… Continue

DOE Primer on Shale Gas

This new report from DOE is a really great "101" on Shale Gas. Its long, but its worth the read if you really want to know about the extraction of shale gas. It is not specific to the Marcellus.

Happy reading.

My Chat with T. Boone Pickens

Shalers,



The EnergyBiz Leadrship Forum was put together well. The focus of the conference tackled the effects of the Obama stimulus package on the power industry, as well as the short- and long-term consequences of the energy and economic crises. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was a little disappointed that CNG was not directly tackled in depth. It seemed that every other energy aspect was covered except CNG. This absence is probably explained when one looks at the current… Continue
