President Bush Launches New Ethanol Boom
Martin Weiss, Ph.D. discusses President Bush's land-breaking ethanol deal with President Lula of Brazil and the ethanol profit explosion he expects to ensue. In this issue of Money and Markets, Dr. Weiss examines the short- and long-term impact of the new ethanol boom.
Investors Primed for Profits with UPDA's Oil and Natural Gas Extraction
The Florida-based UPDA (www.updastock.com) is doing its part to help the U.S. become more energy independent by buying and leasing U.S. properties with proven oil reserves, applying state-of-the-art technology, and pumping out sought-after oil and natural gas. "Americans use over 20 million barrels of oil a day, over half of which is imported," said Abdullah. "That's why domestic drilling is so important, and why UPDA's investors are thrilled about their tremendous return on investment."
Hybrid Cars At Affordable Price
The newest technology offering to lower vehicle fuel costs and help save the environment at the same time is rapidly expanding around the world. With the prospect of affordable hybrid cars on the horizon, many potential buyers are taking a wait and see attitude, before deciding that the money saved on the cost of gas while operating affordable hybrid cars will be a sufficient return on their investment. Currently, hybrid vehicles are more costly than their gas-sipping counterparts are, and when all costs associated with driving a hybrid vehicle are factored in, many claim the extra cost for the car does not return enough of a savings to justify the added expense. While willing to do their part to help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, ...

Low Cost Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars are still fairly new to the majority of us. They use a new method of making cars, and we all know that new methods and new technologies generally mean the resulting product is a lot more expensive than the ones we are used to. However, as that product becomes more widespread, so the cost goes down. This is why low cost hybrid cars are now starting to become slightly easier to find.
New Small Scale Ethanol Plants Provide Highly Efficient Waste to Ethanol Production
New innovative technologies from Diversified Ethanol now provide solutions to two of the biggest challenges facing conventional Ethanol production: the extensive use of water and expensive, fuel intensive, crop-based feedstocks such as corn. Diversified Ethanol, a leading provider of clean tech solutions, has introduced small scale ethanol production plants that reduce water use by up to 85% and use existing liquid waste products as feedstock in the conversion process.
Makers Of Hybrid Cars
Deciding on the purchase of a hybrid car first begs the question, who makes them? The answer is just about everyone. Anyone who makes and sells cars are likely to do the same with hybrid cars especially now when their popularity is swiftly increasing. There are many manufacturers who make and sell hybrid cars who are constantly striving for better technologies. New plug in hybrid cars are examples of the lengths those who make these cars are willing to go to improve their product. Anyone who makes hybrid cars is earning a fortune as they are being encouraged by the government with the likes of tax rebates and carpool lane stickers as well as the emergence of public hybrid buses.

Center for Liquefied Natural Gas Discusses New Market Dynamics
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 18, 2006 -- As worldwide demand for natural gas grows, the United States faces stiff competition for a product it badly needs. At a recent briefing focusing on the new market dynamics of liquefied natural gas, the Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) stressed the United States will be at a competitive disadvantage for the product unless new terminals are built to import natural gas from around the world.
According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas consumption is expected to continue to rise around the globe. Demand will grow not only in the key gas markets, but also in markets that historically have not been major natural gas consumers such as China and India. EIA predicts that annual natural gas consumption will grow in China by 6.8 percent and in India by 5.9 percent. Much of the gas that enters these markets will be imported from around the world in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
In the United States, domestic supplies of natural gas are no longer meeting demand, and Canadian imports are declining. EIA predicts that U.S. consumption will outpace production so that by 2030, there will be a 21 percent gap between supply and demand.
That means that the U.S. will have to compete globally for an increasing share of the LNG market in the years to come.
There are over 40 proposals to build new LNG import terminals in the United States, but the industry has met with state and local opposition to many of them.
"Currently there are five LNG import facilities in the United States, and that's not nearly enough capacity to allow us to compete in the global market we have," said CLNG Executive Director Bill Cooper.
During the briefing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Suedeen Kelly discussed challenges facing industry in coming years as it works to build new terminals, including local opposition. She emphasized that educating communities about the need for the terminals is critical, adding that lot of people simply don't understand the underlying tight supply-demand situation and how precarious it will continue to be if no action is taken.
Other opponents have called for an increase in renewable energy use and energy conservation instead of increasing LNG imports. But this won't be enough to offset the need for more LNG imports. "The numbers just aren't there," said panelist David Manning, executive vice president of KeySpan, to support the contention that conservation and renewables can completely counter growing demand for natural gas. Manning said KeySpan, the largest distributor of natural gas in the Northeast and the largest local distribution company owner/operator of LNG storage in North America, has "some of the best conservation programs in the gas industry."

About CLNG
CLNG is a coalition of 60 LNG producers, shippers, terminal operators and developers, energy trade associations and natural gas consumers. Its goal is to enhance public education and understanding about LNG by serving as a clearinghouse for LNG information. For more information, visit www.lngfacts.org
