• Geopolitical Factors and Increasingly Turbulent Supply and Demand Scenarios in Energy Markets: Modeling Rejuvenated Interest in Biomass Energy Sources

As the peak of global oil production approaches, increasing competition resulting from increasing demand in emerging economies challenges traditional energy market relationships. Recent events underscore additional disruptions and uncertainty in energy markets, resulting from random fluctuations introduced by wars and natural disasters. This paper proposes a modeling approach to understanding and predicting the impacts of these combined factors in the context of turbulent market conditions. The model is capable of capturing price, yield, unit transformations, capacity and other important data. It also proposes the use of the model to examine the role of alternative fuel technologies in smoothing the transition from the fossil fuel era. An example of biomass ethanol is provided. The mode...

The smart grid will provide two-way communication between utilities and their customers, enabling utilities, when demand for electricity peaks, to shed load and avoid brownouts by shutting off clothes dryers and air conditioners in homes, motors in factories, and lighting in stores. [...] capabilities will enable utilities to match energy demand with supply much more closely, curbing unneeded generation, reducing fossil fuel consumption, and cutting emissions of greenhouse gases.

• One-Sided Energy Solutions Won't Work ; a Comprehensive Energy Policy Must Work On Both Supply and Demand to Be Effective.

On Wednesday, the president called for lifting a ban on exploratory drilling off the coast of Maine and other areas, as well as opening up parts of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil production. He warned that voters would take out their ire on lawmakers who didn't act immediately to address rising energy prices.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate , a leading research and advisory services firm (NYSE: EXBD) (CEB) today released results from its quarterly Business Barometer survey, which indicated that while businesses continue to project growth, positive economic sentiment has dampened and hiring expectations have dropped by 13 percent points among U.S. executives.

This is the first time since the inception of CEB's Business Barometer in October 2009 that hiring expectations have declined. Less than half of executives, 45 percent, expect to increase headcount in the next 12 months, down from 58 percent in...
