Russia Attracting More Western Companies Where's Russia headed? One good place to get an answer was the just-concluded St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which followed the strained G-8 meeting in Germany.

Commentary: Yergin Sees Clear Road Ahead For More Fuel-Efficient Cars This week, legislation will emerge from committee, and almost certainly soon head to the floor of the U.S. Senate. It might not get that much notice in itself, but it ought to, because it tells you how much has changed on energy issues. Energy's Challenges The energy challenge certainly ranks at the top of the world's agenda. What makes it particularly difficult to deal with is that it is created by two forces. Closing The Conservation Gap In Electric Power Today, as U.S. electric power demand grows and environmental and energy security issues become more urgent, there is a growing concern that the current balance encourages the construction of new power plants rather than investment in the conservation of electric power. Biofuels In The U.S-Just The Facts Biofuels are hot. But how hot? Here are "just the facts." The Future Of Electricity-Center Of Gravity Shifting To Asia The global electric power landscape is changing fast, and increasingly, the action in it has been shifting to Asia. On average, in each of the last three years, China alone has added as much new generating capacity as all of existing capacity in Texas. The shift to Asia will continue. Security, Climate And Technology The world today depends on fossil fuels to meet over 80 percent of its energy needs, a simple fact of the way the industrial world has grown up. But dependence brings with it major challenges placing places the United States and the world at an energy crossroads. Renewable Electric Power Takes Off Renewable electric power is beginning to soar. The current surge of activity, which has been accelerating over the last few years, is driven by several factors including environmental and sociopolitical considerations. Will Innovation Transform Energy? There has never before been so wide-ranging a drive for technological advance and breakthroughs. It affects every part of the energy industry, whether one is talking about oil and natural gas, renewables and alternatives or efficiency and demand management. The impact is evident in the oil and gas industry. A Double Bubble Drives Rising Oil Production Costs The dramatic run-up in oil prices in recent years has been the subject of much attention and many headlines. What has received far less attention is another increase: the parallel rise in the costs of drilling for oil and building the infrastructure necessary to pump it out of the ground. Ethanol And Brazil: The New Global Energy Brand? When it comes to energy, Brazil is on its way to becoming a "global brand."

Thinking About The Energy Future The energy business has one of the longest timelines of any industry. Decisions are being made today for oil or natural gas fields that will only begin to flow fifteen years from now. Investors, in the meantime, have to decide where to put their bets on technologies that will take years to come to fruition.	Sign Up for a free account or learn more.
