This article examines Azerbaijan's foreign policy by demonstrating the interplay between the oil-led development process and early post-independence regional conflicts that enforced a Western orientation in the country's foreign policy. It is argued that geopolitics continue to prevail in the strategic goals of Azerbaijan. However, the new challenges in the emerging framework of energy security, which extends beyond the revitalized geopolitical rivalries and preeminent concern over securing energy supplies, put Azerbaijan's foreign policy at a crossroads and require a new trans-Atlantic partnership to promote human security and to manage the risk entailed in the unpredictable policy environments of the Caspian region.

ONCE again, Connecticut has an opportunity to transform energy policy, protect consumers and small businesses and create the prerequisites for a new manufacturing base. Two important bills are before the General Assembly, Senate Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1176. Before reviewing the former, comprehensive energy reform bill, I must correct the full-page disinformation advertisements bought by Dominion, owner of the Millstone nuclear power plants, regarding SB 1176. The ad's assertion that 74 percent of residents are against taxing the power plant's "excess" profits is flat out comical. I doubt if half that number even know a bill that would do so even exists. If this statistical claim were true, why would it need full- page ads to oppose the bill? Before we get choked up at how concerned Domi...
Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has introduced a bevy of energy proposals over the past months aimed at uniting a region where historical rivalries and economic necessity often trump sound long-term foreign policy. At a June summit of Caribbean leaders in Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela, Chavez proposed the formation of PetroCaribe, "a body aimed at facilitating the development of energy policies and plans for the integration of the nations of the Caribbean.

The Relatively Moderate Impact of the Nuclear Accident at Fukushima Daichii WASHINGTON, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A June survey of private and public sector public policy elites in energy policy shows that the Fukushima nuclear accident has had little effect on the level of support for nuclear power in the United Sates.
GIVEN the red-team/blue-team dynamic of American politics, it was probably inevitable that discussion of energy policy would degenerate into a debate between drillers and renewers - those who want more domestic oil exploration to the exclusion of other power sources and those who want the U.S. to kick its oil habit entirely. Both sides are unrealistic. Even with painful conservation measures and a crash program to develop alternative energy supplies, the U.S. will rely on fossil fuels for many years. That's not oil- company propaganda. It's the conclusion of the National Academy of Sciences, which says even hundreds of billions of dollars devoted to plug-in electric cars would not change gas consumption for at least a couple of decades.
The Commission proposes several amendments to improve the Appliance Labeling Rule by streamlining requirements for manufacturers, increasing the availability of labels for consumers, and clarifying various aspects of the Rule. Specifically, the proposed amendments would eliminate duplicative reporting requirements for manufacturers, introduce a uniform method for attaching labels to appliances, place EnergyGuide labels on room air conditioner boxes instead of on the products themselves, improve current Web site disclosures, and revise ceiling fan labels. The proposed amendments also would clarify enforcement rules for data reporting, testing access, and Web site disclosures. The Commission requests comments on these proposed changes. In addition, as a part of the Commission's systematic...
