U.S. Redraws World Oil Map
Keywords:
International Energy Agency estimates show the U.S. surpassing Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer by 2020 because of the boom in shale oil production. The estimates are for 11.1 million barrels a day from the U.S. in 2020.
Impact on oil demand and prices of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards.
05/13/2011
Oil demand could drop by as much as 2.6 million barrels a day by 2025, as a result of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards for 49 mpg by 2025. Fuel efficiency gains in China, India and other emerging market countries and increasing stability in the middle east, and the technological advances for low environmental impact shale oil could change the entire dynamic of world oil demand and prices. This happened in an earlier period of fuel efficency gains in the 1980's resulting in low crude oil prices.

The proposed U.S.-Canada partnership for the Keystone XL Pipeline project
01/07/2009
This would bring an additional 1.1 million barrels of Canadian oil to the U.S. from Alberta oil sands. The project is being held up by the Obama administration. The Energy Department gave its approval in February 2011, but it is being held up for further environmental studies. Advances in environmental protection for oil sands development have reduced the footprint of the processes used in production of oil. This would reduce imports from the Middle East and have a favorable impact on oil prices.

President Obama's energy policy for the second term 2012-2016
12/27/2011
The lower prices of natural gas which can be substituted for coal in electricity production to reduce emissions without legislation gives Obama more energy policy flexibility during the second term. The increase in shale oil production which can generate new jobs is supported by Obama and this provides more flexibility to work with Republicans in the second term. The slump in solar energy panel prices removes another element of disagreement with Republicans by making investments in companies like Solyndra unattractive. This makes the second term energy policy prospects very different from the first term.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
