Volatility Will Eventually Descend on US Natural Gas Prices

January 20, 2016

A natural gas adoption cycle is underway in the United States, as the country increasingly sources and consumes its own very cheap production. That natural gas (NG) prices have remained weak in the face of so much supply is no surprise. Rather, it’s the expansionary integration?of natural gas into the US economy, and in particular […]

North America Takes Further Steps to Export its Natural Gas

April 17, 2012

North America has a number of LNG export projects underway, mostly in Kitimat, British Columbia. But yesterday the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the first application for such a facility in the lower 48.

North American Natural Gas Breaks Below Two Dollars, for a Million BTU

April 11, 2012

Natural gas in North America broke below the $2.00 barrier today, for the first time in ten years.

Accordingly, a million BTU in LNG form currently trades for over $9.00 in the UK, and over $15.00 in Japan. […]

Nuclear Optimism and the Reality of How Humans Price Risk

March 29, 2011

The cataclysm visited upon Japan this March has produced an understandable debate over the future of nuclear power. As so often is the case, however, these post-crisis conversations presume the freedom to decide new policy choices when such choices, by society, have already been made. Decades after the advent of nuclear power, this modern energy […]

Powering the Dubai Overshoot

November 27, 2009

You’ve seen the before-and-after pictures, like a Vegas slug of glass rising in the desert. And, you’ve read the stories about indebted foreign workers leaving their Range Rovers behind, as they flee. Perhaps you’ve seen video of the indoor ski arcade? Or, caught the gaze of the photographer’s eye on the poor, underpaid migrant workers […]
