    Annual Energy Outlook 2009
    Energy Information Administration - December 17, 2008
    http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/pdf/aeo2009_presentation.pdf [21 pages].
    http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/pdf/appa.pdf [41 pages, Tables]

    He early release report presents updated projections for U.S. energy consumption and production through 2030. For the first time in more than 20 years, the new reference case projects virtually no growth in U.S. oil consumption, reflecting the combined effect of recently enacted CAFE standards, requirements for increased use of renewable fuels, and an assumed rebound in oil prices as the world economy recovers.

    The President’s Agenda on Energy & the Environment
    http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/energy_and_environment/

    “The energy challenges our country faces are severe and have gone unaddressed for far too long. Our addiction to foreign oil doesn't just undermine our national security and wreak havoc on our environment -- it cripples our economy and strains the budgets of working families all across America. President Obama and Vice President Biden have a comprehensive plan to invest in alternative and renewable energy, end our addiction to foreign oil, address the global climate crisis and create millions of new jobs.”

    Energy Independence and Global Warming: 110th Congress Final Staff Report
    Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming – December 2008
    http://globalwarming.house.gov/mediacenter/pressreleases_2008?id=0059#main_content

    “Part I of the report addresses the challenges posed by the climate crisis and America’s growing energy needs. Part II provides recommendations on a series of “win-win” solutions that will bolster America’s energy security while achieving the reductions in global warming pollution needed to save the planet. Part III presents the findings and recommendations resulting from the Select Committee’s oversight activities. Part IV discusses international issues, and reviews the findings of the Select Committee Congressional delegations to Greenland and the EU, Brazil, and India.”

    “We have just elected a new President, Barack Obama, who campaigned on a strong platform of energy efficiency, energy security, and renewable energy. That gives us the ability to harness his strong interest in energy to an effective bipartisan strategy in Congress. When you can get a combination of White House leadership and bipartisan Congressional engagement, chances of real progress are substantial.”



    Making Domestic Energy Affordable
    Ben Lieberman and Jack Spencer
    The Heritage Foundation - Memo to President-elect Obama - December 8, 2008 – 4 pages
    http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/upload/obamamemo_6.pdf

    “Your promise to address the nation’s high energy costs resonated soundly with the voters, and your pledge to use safe nuclear power as a key part of our energy mix makes sense. You should not let the temporary decrease in gasoline prices distract you from keeping these promises. If you persevere and follow the right steps to open and use all domestic energy sources, including nuclear power, energy will become more affordable and plentiful for all Americans, and the nation will be less reliant on hostile nations for energy.
    But you should not undercut these goals by shackling energy with costly restrictions and mandates…”


    Investments in Clean Energy and Natural Resources Projects and Programs to Create Green Jobs and to Stimulate the Economy
    Senate – Energy Committee – Hearing – December 10, 2009

    A Framework for Achieving Energy Security and Arresting Global Warming
    Ken Berlin Center for American Progress – Report - December 2008 – 34 pages
    http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/12/pdf/energy_security.pdf

    Addressing energy security and arresting climate change will require a transition to a non-carbon based economy and more fuel-efficient vehicles. This will take decades, even with strong measures, so new initiatives will have to be durable enough to withstand political vicissitudes and arguments that regulations should be weakened during economic slowdowns. Because efforts to solve both issues are inextricably intertwined, they must be addressed together, and actions to solve one issue cannot compromise the ability to address the other successfully.

    Renewing America: A Blueprint for Economic Recovery
    Environment America – Report -November 2008 - 29 pages
    http://www.environmentamerica.org/uploads/SO/o9/SOo90pehULc3juLoBFh4Yg/AME_RenewAmerica.pdf

    “To revive the American dream, we need to rebuild our economy on a sound foundation—one that puts people back to work, contributes to long-term prosperity, rebuilds our communities, and protects our environment. There is one path to a renewed economy that achieves all of those goals—one that is increasingly recognized by opinion leaders, politicians, investors and workers as our best chance to work our way out of our current economic troubles, while building a stronger, more self-reliant and environmentally responsible America. It is the path to a clean energy future.”


    IER’s Bold Stimulus Plan: A Roadmap to Improving the Economy and Creating Jobs, All at No Cost to the Taxpayer
    Institute for Energy Research – January 27, 2009
    http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2009/01/27/ier-offers-economic-stimulus-plan-urges-president-obama-to-adopt-historic-change/

    “IER supports government policies that encourage private investment, foster job creation, and provide American consumers access to the vast, proven, affordable energy supplies they own beneath the 2.3 billion acres of government lands not leased for responsible energy production. These enormous taxpayer-owned resources, and the American jobs they would create, have been held hostage by a decades-long government policy of saying, “No, we can’t”… IER’s plan represents the most significant change in government energy policy in more than three decades. We urge the Obama Administration to say, “Yes, we can” to our two-part plan, which begins by embracing the fundamental medical precept: First, Do No Harm.”

    Putting Energy in the White House
    Dave Edwards
    Progressive Policy Institute - Memo to the Next President – January 15, 2008
    http://www.ppionline.org/ppi_ci.cfm?knlgAreaID=450020&subsecID=900202&contentID=254867

    “Without a transformation of the energy industry, the unchecked American reliance upon fossil fuel will diminish our economy, distort our foreign policy, and further disrupt our natural environment. We can do better -- much better. The United States has the opportunity to be the world's energy innovation leader, creating a cleaner, more secure, and more prosperous future.”

    Stimulus Package and Energy: Creating Green Jobs, Opportunities for All
    Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming – Hearing – January 15, 2009
    http://globalwarming.house.gov/pubs/pubs?id=0062#main_content

    The Committee devoted its first hearing of the 111th Congress to creating jobs and stimulating our economy through renewable energy and efficiency programs. The panel included Van Jones, founder of Green for All, an organization promoting green-collar jobs and opportunities for the disadvantaged; Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia; Trevor Houser, an expert on energy markets and climate change; and Denise Bode, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association.

    Rethinking “Energy Independence”
    Pietro S. Nivola The Brookings Institution – Study -December 29, 2008, – 12 pages
    http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/papers/2008/1230_energy_nivola/1230_energy_nivola.pdf
    Political leaders repeatedly point out that our current addiction to foreign oil is a matter of national security. The author challenges the assumption that the less oil the U.S. buys from abroad, the more insulated our economy will be from vagaries of the international oil market.

    International Energy Outlook 2008: Highlights

    Energy Information Administration, Department of Energy - Web posted June 25, 2008 – 5 pages.

    http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/ieo/pdf/highlights.pdf


    World marketed energy consumption is projected to grow by 50 percent between 2005 and 2030, driven by robust economic growth and expanding populations in the world’s developing countries, according to the report. Average world oil prices in each year since 2003 have been higher than the average for the previous year and prices in 2007 were nearly double the 2003 prices. Although liquid fuels are expected to remain the largest single source of energy through 2030, the liquids share of marketed world energy consumption declines from 37 percent in 2005 to 33 percent in 2030. The share of conventional oil in the overall liquids supply is in decline with expanded use of unconventional oil, bio-fuels, and other unconventional liquids.

    Challenges to Meeting Future Energy Needs and to Developing the Technologies for Meeting Increased Global Energy Demand (SD-366)

    According to the analysis, the clean energy revolution will only reach its full potential in solving our energy needs worldwide if there is determination to promote and protect the intellectual property (IP) that makes green technology possible. The need to achieve technological breakthroughs to provide cleaner, more efficient, cheaper and more abundant sources of energy may be the race-to-the-moon for this generation of American inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs. In is noted that the “green tech” industry is today where the semiconductor industry was 35 years ago and where the biotech industry was 25 years ago.

    The Truth about America’s Energy: Big Oil Stockpiles Supplies and Pockets Profits

    House - Committee on Natural Resources - Special Report- June 2008 – 10 pages

    http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/images/stories/Documents/truth_about_americas_energy.pdf

    While the oil industry and some Members of Congress argue that opening more federal lands and waters would lead to lower gasoline prices, the facts prove otherwise. The fact is that the Nation simply cannot drill its way to lower prices at the pump. Other options, from greater energy efficiencies to the development of alternative fuels, are essential to reducing dependency on petroleum fuels and lowering fuel costs.”

    Plug-In Electric Vehicles 2008: What Role for Washington?

    The Brookings Institution – Conference – June 11-12

    http://www.brookings.edu/events/2008/0611_plugin_vehicle.aspx?emc=lm&m=216056&l=43&v=252043

    Oil prices are at record highs. The overwhelming dependence of our cars and trucks on oil strains family budgets, threatens our national security and contributes to global warming. Plug-in electric vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce the United States’ dependence on oil. Yet can this potential be realized? If so, how? Is there a national interest in putting millions of plug-in vehicles on the road soon? How should policymakers in Washington, D.C., respond?

    ENERGY EFFICIENCY

    Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods Act

    Financial Services Committee – Hearing – June 11, 2008

    http://www.house.gov/apps/list/hearing/financialsvcs_dem/hr061108.shtml

    This hearing examined H.R. 6078, the Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods Act of 2008. The bill provides incentives to lenders and financial institutions to provide lower interest loans and other benefits to consumers, who build, buy or remodel their homes and businesses to improve their energy efficiency. This timely legislation reflects the input of a broad coalition of housing advocates, financial institutions, government leaders, developers, and the environmental community.”

     

    Efficiency: The Hidden Secret to Solving Our Energy Crisis

    The Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) held a hearing to examine how energy efficiency programs can drastically reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy, help us achieve energy independence, and strengthen our economy… Massachusetts Secretary of Energy, Ian Bowles, discussed that state’s brand new efficiency law signed this month; and Google’s Dan Reicher addressed federal opportunities for new energy efficiency programs and groundbreaking private sector energy-savings programs. The panelists, also including Dr. Jonathan Koomey from Stanford University and Mr. Mark Mills of ICx Technologies, offered their views on future federal government energy and energy efficiency policies.”

    Sustainable, Energy-Efficient Transportation Infrastructure

    House Committee on Science – Hearing – June 24, 2008

    http://science.house.gov/publications/hearings_markups_details.aspx?NewsID=2236

    On Tuesday, June 24, 2008, the Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation will hold a hearing to review ongoing Federal, State, academic, and industry research and development activities related to reducing lifecycle energy consumption, reducing fuel use and promoting sustainability for surface transportation infrastructure. The hearing will also address technical, regulatory, social, and financial challenges to implementing new measures and integrating new materials and technologies into existing transportation networks.”

    Climate Benefits of Improved Building Energy Efficiency

    House Committee on Energy and Commerce – Hearing - July 17, 2008

    http://energycommerce.house.gov/cmte_mtgs/110-eaq-hrg.071708.BuildingEfficiency.shtml

    This hearing discusses the “potential for increased energy efficiency in new and existing buildings to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Despite today’s focus on the cost of time on the road, Americans spend virtually their entire week working, eating, studying, recreating, and sleeping in a residential or commercial building. The building sector represents 40 percent of the nation’s primary energy consumption – 72 percent of electricity and 55 percent of natural gas – exceeding any other sector of the U.S. economy, including transportation and industry.”

    ENERGY EFFICIENCY

    Energy Efficiency as Economic Stimulus
    Daniel Sosland, Derek Murrow, and Samuel Krasnow Progressive Policy Institute - Memo to the Next President - December 12, 2008
    http://www.ppionline.org/ppi_ci.cfm?knlgAreaID=450020&subsecID=900194&contentID=254849
    Energy efficiency -- a huge economic category that includes the design and installation of "green" insulation, lighting, building materials, appliances, vehicles, heating-and- cooling systems, and countless other technologies -- fits your economic-stimulus needs ideally, with important additional benefits for the health of our environment and the security of our nation.


    Assessment of Achievable Potential from Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs in the U.S. (2010-2030)
    Electric Power Institute - Web posted January 22, 2009 – 342 pages
    http://my.epri.com/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_2_1630_277_848_43/http%3B/myepri10%3B80/EPRIDocumentAccess/popup.aspx/000000000001016987

    Energy efficiency programs in the United States could realistically reduce the rate of growth for electricity consumption by 22 percent over the next two decades if key barriers can be addressed, according to the analysis. The potential energy savings in 2030 would be 236 billion kilowatt hours, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 14 New York Cities. However, achieving the ideal would require costly investments as well as political and regulatory support.

    Measuring and Reducing Americans' Indirect Energy Use
    Kenneth P. Green and Aparna Mathur
    AEI Online - Energy and Environment Outlook - December 4, 2008- 6 pages
    http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.29020/pub_detail.asp

    “The focus on direct energy use obscures the fact that Americans have many choices when it comes to reducing their energy and environmental footprint besides cutting back on the direct use of oil, natural gas, and electricity. Those who want to reduce their energy consumption but are unable or unwilling to forego the roomier house or car can cut down on discretionary medical purchases; minimize pharmaceutical waste; cut back on air travel; and replace high-energy foods (beef and refined grain products) with lower-energy foods such as poultry, legumes, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Can we both preserve consumer choice and expand options for energy conservation? Yes, we can.”

    Green Affordable Housing: Within Our Reach
    David M. Abromowitz Center for American Progress - December 2008 - 30 pages.
    http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/12/pdf/green_housing.pdf

    The incoming Obama administration is poised to join with the 111th Congress on an ambitious agenda of reducing energy consumption, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating a viable green jobs sector. To achieve these goals, one cannot afford to ignore housing, in particular the currently existing affordable housing. Affordable housing, consisting of almost 4.75 million apartments (nearly 14 percent of the nation’s 35 million rental units), is federally assisted in some way and thus open to clearly targeted green policies.

    Lowering the Cost of Play: Improving Energy Efficiency of Video Game Consoles
    Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) - Issue Paper - November 2008 - 29 pages.
    http://www.nrdc.org/energy/consoles/files/consoles.pdf
    More than 40 percent of all homes in the United States contain at least one video game console. Video game consoles consumed an estimated 16 billion kilowatt-hours per year -- roughly equal to the annual electricity use of the city of San Diego.

    COAL

    The True Cost of Coal
    Greenpeace – Report - Web posted December 1, 2008 -92 pages
    http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/true-cost-coal.pdf

    According to the report, the global cost of coal was at least €360 billion last year alone. The figure arrives from CO2 damage costs, health costs and mining accidents. Coal burning has existed for centuries, and its use as a fuel has been recorded since the 1100s. It powered the Industrial Revolution, changing the course of first Britain, and then the world, in the process. In the U.S., the first coal-fired power plant opened on the shores of the lower East River in New York City in September 1882. Today, coal is used to produce nearly 40% of the world’s electricity. However, burning coal is one of the most harmful practices on the planet. 0

    The Hidden Costs of Clean Coal: The Environmental and Human Disaster of Longwall Mining
    Center for Public Integrity - January 13, 2009
    http://www.publicintegrity.org/investigations/longwall/

    Longwall mining is a highly productive underground process employed to quickly and cheaply extract coal, but the practice comes with a steep environmental price, as documented in a year-long investigation by the Center for Public Integrity. The report turns a spotlight on a devastating mining method that most Americans outside northern Appalachia have never heard of. An estimated 10 percent of all U.S. electricity now depends on coal from longwall mining, which has grown over the years in Appalachia and in the states of Illinois, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

    The Clean Coal Smoke Screen
    Daniel J. Weiss, Nick Kong, Sam Schiller, Alexandra Kougentakis
    Center for American Progress – Analysis - December 22, 2008 – 5 pages
    http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/12/clean_coal.html

    “Despite the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity's attempts to convince Americans that “clean coal” is the solution to global warming, a CAP analysis determined that ACCCE’s companies spend relatively few dollars conducting research on carbon capture and storage, the most promising clean coal technology to reduce global warming pollution from coal-fired power plants. The coal and utility industries have spent millions of dollars to oppose mandatory reductions in global warming pollution until CCS is commercialized. Yet their paltry CCS research investment demonstrates that the ads and other public clean coal activities are merely designed to delay global warming solutions without suffering a public relations black eye.”

    Producing Liquid Fuels from Coal: Prospects and Policy Issues
    James T. Bartis et al. RAND Corporation – Monograph - January 2009 – 199 pages
    http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2008/RAND_MG754.pdf

    The federal government can spark the creation of a commercially competitive coal-to-liquids industry by fostering early development of plants that would produce transportation fuels from coal, according to the study. It finds that a commercially competitive U.S. coal-to-liquids industry could produce as much as three million barrels of high-quality liquid fuels per day by 2030, an amount equivalent to 15 percent of current U.S. oil demand.

    Importing Pollution: Coals’s Threat to Climate Policy in the U.S. Northeast
    Union of Concerned Scientists - December 2008 – 44 pages
    http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/clean_energy/importing-pollution_report.pdf

    The Northeast’s cap-and-trade system for global warming pollution will be compromised unless utilities are prevented from importing additional coal-fired electricity, according to the report. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which applies to power plants in 10 Northeastern states, does not preclude the utilities that supply electricity to Northeast homes and businesses from buying more electricity from coal-fired power plants outside the region. That could increase the carbon dioxide emissions from those plants outside the region, offsetting emissions reductions under RGGI.

    ELECTRICITY

    Electric Power Industry 2007: Year in Review
    Energy Information Administration - January 21, 2009
    http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epa/epa_sum.html

    In 2007, average retail electricity prices increased 2.6 percent from 8.9 to 9.1 cents per kilowatthour (kWh) This followed a 3-year period during which average fossil fuel prices for electricity generation increased a cumulative 30.2 percent. As fuel prices increased 30.2 percent, the National average retail price of electricity increased 17.0 percent from 7.6 cents per kWh in 2004 to 8.9 cents per kWh in 2006. Fossil fuel prices increased an additional 7.0 percent in 2007, contributing to the 2.6 percent average retail electricity rate increase.

    Identifying Hurdles to Renewable Electricity Transmission
    Center for American Progress – Report - December 18, 2008 – 8pages
    http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/12/pdf/renewable_transmission.pdf

    The electricity grid in the United States is often heralded as one of the world’s first great technological achievements in modern history. The grid pioneered national access to electricity and spurred prosperity, and it now represents a central piece of economic and societal infrastructure. But nearly a century after grid construction began, no major updates have occurred. The current grid configuration cannot handle the growth in electricity demand expected over the next few decades unless we act quickly to modernize it. Our electricity grid is an integral but often overlooked element in the shift to a low-carbon economy. This report seeks to highlight the multiple challenges and opportunities for action to vastly increase our nation’s renewable energy generation and connect this clean energy to the grid via advanced electrical transmission construction.

    Although touted by many as the smart energy choice, compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are not suitable for many common uses and should not be required by the government, according to the report. The authors argue: “For many uses, compact fluorescent bulbs may be more costly and troublesome than they’re worth.” The report concludes that despite manufacturer claims, many CFLs don’t come close to lasting the 10,000 hours they are supposed to last. In addition, CFLs also contain potentially toxic mercury, therefore, CFL disposal and breakage presents numerous health and environmental concerns.

    Wind Energy Grows by Record 8,300 Mw in 2008
    American Wind Energy Association - January 27, 2009 –
    http://www.awea.org/newsroom/releases/wind_energy_growth2008_27Jan09.html

    The U.S. wind energy industry shattered all previous records in 2008 by installing 8,358 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity, enough to serve over 2 million homes, reports the study. The massive growth in 2008 swelled the nation’s total wind power generating capacity by 50% and channeled an investment of some $17 billion into the economy, positioning wind power as one of the leading sources of new power generation in the country today along with natural gas. At year’s end, however, financing for new projects and orders for turbine components slowed to a trickle and layoffs began to hit the wind turbine manufacturing sector.

    • Les energies du futur " Rapport sur l'état actuel et les perspectives techniques des énergies renouvelables" Une première partie étudie le rôle essentiel des énergies renouvelables pour l'accession à l'énergie et à l'électricité dans les pays en voie de développement et comment elles peuvent apporter une contribution importante à la consommation d'énergie intérieure, dans l'habitat et les transports. Une deuxième partie est consacrée aux priorités à donner en France aux différentes filières d'énergie renouvelables : les énergies permettant la production d'électricité (énergie éolienne, solaire photovoltaïque, thermodynamique et géothermie haute température) seront déterminantes pour l'industrie et l'exportation, tandis que celles produisant de la chaleur et du carburant (solaire thermique, pompes à chaleur, habitat bioclimatique, biocaburants) le seront pour la réduction de la dépendance extérieure et des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une troisième partie présente un bilan des politiques en faveur des énergies renouvelables conduites en France (action de l'ADEME, du CNRS, du CEA, du ministère de la coopération et de l'Agence française de développement), dresse un constat visant le coût très élevé et le caractère insuffisamment ciblé des mesures de soutien et formule un certain nombre de recommandations en faveur d'un recentrage des moyens et d'une accélération de la recherche en la matière." * Source : La Documentation Française http://www.assemblee-nat.fr/rap-oecst/energies/r3415.asp
