There is a lot of concern right now about the environmental impacts of fracking for natural gas. Natural gas production by fracking, though, is considerably more environmentally friendly than coal production by mining. Production and transportation costs are enough lower for gas than coal that gas is now a cheaper energy source than coal in [...]
(A) In an attempt to hold down costs to consumers, he called for tighter federal controls on oil and natural gas prices.
(B) He called energy conservation efforts “the moral equivalent of war.”
(C) He imposed rationing on gasoline and heating fuel, and he placed tariffs on imported petroleum.

I’m looking for a price ticker/widget I can embed in my website that has NYMEX crude and NYMEX natural gas prices. When trying to customize a yahoo badge, I could not get the symbols to work. Does anyone know if I can include these, or if not, another widget that offers this? Google finance wasn’t [...]
With natural gas prices rocketing sky high – what are you doing to keep your heating bills at a minimal? Any unique ideas to heat up your place without giving up your arm this coming winter?
Currently we have an air-forced duct system in place. I really hate it, the heat does not [...]
Food service workers traditionally draw a low pay scale. The majority of fast food and casual dining workers earn .00-8.50 per hour. In states where minimum wage is closer to .00 per hour, maybe .75 per hour.
I own a bakery. Most of my workers start at .00 per hour. I have a small staff of [...]
According to today’s economic report, inflation has eased.
Among points made:
The unchanged reading for energy reflected a big 4.8 percent jump in natural gas prices, offset by a 2 percent decline in gasoline costs.
Well actually, the cost of gasoline has not gone down anywhere.
So, um… what’s the agenda.
How long till ten dollar a loaf bread?

Tomorrow the US Congress votes on bill HR 2454. I am extremely worried this Bill will pass because. . .
It will raise your household electricity rates by 90 percent, gasoline by 74 percent, residential natural gas prices by 55 percent by 2035 (after adjusting for inflation), and will cut U.S. employment levels by [...]
Because almost every industry and American uses some form of fossil fuel-based energy, the impact of an energy tax of this level will be disastrous to the American economy.
For example, The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis has found that by 2035 the Waxman-Markey bill will have the following economic impact:

From what I gather, this Cap & Trade policy will not have all that great of an effect on the economy, for example, it will:
Destroy an average of 1-3 million jobs, every year
Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74 percent
Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
Raise an average family’s annual energy bill by ,500 annually
Increase [...]
I don’t give a rats p’tooty about Democrat or Republican… I just want stability again.
If we go green, we suffer in the meantime… not everyone can afford a new car or get it converted. A lot of people want to hold onto their big trucks and SUV’s and some of them actually [...]
A study conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology determined the restrictions could raise gasoline prices by 29%, electricity prices by 55% and natural gas prices by 15% by 2015.
A study by the National Association of Manufacturers projected that emissions caps, similar to those previously rejected by the U.S. Senate calling for a [...]
The Energy Information Agency (EIA), the Environmental Agency (EPA), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently conducted an independent analysis and concluded that energy costs will dramatically increase. Specifically, the group estimates that the proposed budget’s cap-and-trade system will directly cause an estimated .27 per gallon increase for the cost of gasoline and [...]
In this Cap and Trade Bill, there will not be anymore drilling off shore or on shore. Say NO and stop the madness!
This week a late night deal was struck on the national energy tax. Clearly, Speaker Pelosi is running a machine, and was able to strong-arm a number of moderate Democrats to stand against [...]
With oil and natural gas prices tripling over past couple of years, I thought solar cells would be competitive enough so that more homeowners would install them for electricity generation
advocacy for draconian carbon dioxide regulations such as the cap and trade scheme detailed in the House-passed “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.” To Warming enthusiasts the .4 trillion reduction in aggregate GDP, the loss of another 2.5 million jobs, and increase in inflation-adjusted electricity prices by 90 percent, gasoline prices by 58 [...]

The ongoing natural gas crisis is exacting a heavy toll on America’s nitrogen fertilizer producers and the farmer customers they supply. The cost of natural gas — which is used as a feedstock in nitrogen production — accounts for as much as 90 percent of the cost of producing [...]
They said that the "California Energy Crisis" was a supply issue when it was just simple deregulation at the state level coupled with the federal government halting all oversight of electronic exchange commodity markets and derrivatives, and Enron was busy driving up the price by speculating on futures to drive up their profits.

Reviewing a host of recent studies, Buckley and Mityakov show that estimates of job losses attributable to cap-and-trade range in the hundreds of thousands. The price for energy paid by the American consumer also will rise. The studies reviewed showed electricity prices jumping 5-15% by 2015, natural gas prices up 12-50% by 2015, and gasoline [...]
events? Currently oil prices have everyone’s attention, so why don’t people take the time to understand how the prices are set and then realize we have had problems (and until recently Congress has only made them worse) with commodity market regulation: Enron drove up California energy prices in 2000-2001, Amaranth doubled natural gas [...]
DOM is a massive ERI or Excess Royalty Interest located in Alabama. I bet you did not know that Alabama had gas wells. I really did not know this but they do. They are low quality coal seam wells. Dominion Resources sold these wells to Highpoint that runs them. It [...]
with the high cost of energy,0.00 a month light bills and natural gas prices for the homes in the winter time going through the roof,why shouldn’t people be able to buy solar energy systems at an affordable price.Only the people who can afford to pay the high cost of heating an air conditioning can afford [...]
The Kansas City Star on February 16, 2007 reported on the lowering prices of natural gas. With lower natural gas prices and unseasonably warm weather early this winter the forecast is that gas-heating customers will pay 0 as compared to ,159 last year. At Kansas Gas Service, last year, the price of 1,000 cubic feet [...]
DALLAS – A .7 million compensation package and million pension payout to Exxon Mobil Corp.’s former chief executive and chairman Lee R. Raymond has some shareholders and economists asking, "how much is enough?"
"Some folks will ask the question, ‘Is this more evidence of big oil taking an enormous windfall and retaining all the riches?’" [...]
This happened today when oil and natural gas prices are skyrocketing and China is drilling off the coast of Florida with Cuba !
I’m just wondering.
Say I think it’s going to be a cold winter and also that whoever is elected President next year and whoever controls Congress will be vehemently opposed to nuclear power. As a result I think natural gas prices will double, thus daily rates for drilling equipment will double.
It [...]
