I was pleased to receive the Energy Information Administration's report today, which includes its "flash estimate" of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions for 2006. The report shows that emissions declined 78 million metric tons over 2005, or 1.3 percent, while our economy grew 3.3 percent.
Recently, we convened representatives of the world's major economies-the largest users of energy and largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions from both developed and developing nations-to discuss a new international approach on energy security and climate change. Our aim is to agree on a detailed contribution for a new global framework in 2008 that would contribute to a global agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by 2009.
Last fall's Detroit meeting on reducing carbon emissions was timely as Congress is in the process of shaping carbon emission proposals and the media is highlighting carbon-related issues. After years of inactivity on this issue, the US may finally be poised to regulate so-called greenhouse gases (GHGs). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major source of such GHG emissions, making up 75% to 80% of the total volume.

International cooperation on this issue is essential, Gruenspecht said, since reductions by all major emitters will be required to significantly reduce GHG concentrations. The time horizon over which ...

[...] the Landmark Legal Foundation recently urged members of the House Ethics Committee to investigate whether Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers D. -Mich, had violated rules by failing to report on his financial disclosure forms payments his wife Monica received improperly.
The EIA is soliciting comments on the proposed 3-year extension of EIA Form EIA-914 Monthly Natural Gas Production Report.
Motorist beware. Gas prices will jump 40 cents at the pump by June and peak at a national average of $2.67 for a gallon of regular unleaded, according to a government report released late Tuesday. The Energy Information Administration attributes climbing gas prices to rising crude oil costs for refiners and the usual uptick in driving habits during the summer.
