Analysis: China ups Kazakh energy holdings Washington, April 28, 2009 
The dramatic downturn in energy prices has heavily impacted oil-producing nations, few more than Kazakhstan, which had a marginal oil industry prior to the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. Having attracted more than $40 billion in foreign investment since then, Astana is now caught between a fiscal rock and a hard place as foreign investors seek to retrieve their funds. In its search for fore ... read moreAnalysis: Oil and Gas Pipeline Watch 
Washington DC (UPI) Apr 29, 2009Iran is not excluded entirely from emerging as a possible natural gas supplier to the Western-backed Nabucco pipeline, U.S. representatives said. Speaking at a two-day energy summit in Sofia during the weekend, Richard Morningstar, a U.S. envoy to Europe and Central Asia on energy matters, said Iran could be a possible supplier to Nabucco. ... more

UC Davis Receives Renewable Energy Programs Grant
Davis CA (SPX) Apr 20, 2009To speed the transfer of renewable-energy advances from research laboratories to homes and industries, the California Energy Commission will award the University of California, Davis, $3 million to coordinate the efforts of four statewide programs. The new California Renewable Energy Collaborative will become the administrative center for three existing programs focused on biomass, geother ... more Analysis: Turkish-Armenian thaw and energy
Washington, April 27, 2009 During the past year, at a time of record-high energy prices, many European officials have decried what they see as Russia's state-owned Gazprom natural gas company being used as a tool to promote the Kremlin's policies by indulging in hardball "pipeline politics." Gazprom's favored tool is variable prices being used to send political signals to recalcitrant former Soviet republics such as Ukr ... more Outside View: The Great Recession 
College Park, Md., April 27, 2009 Economists expect a late-year economic recovery, but their conviction appears failing. Forecasters predict more than 630,000 jobs will be lost in April -- an annual pace exceeding 7.5 million. Meltdowns at General Motors and Chrysler portend more hemorrhaging and depression-like conditions in the Midwest. Team Obama is quick to claim employment is a lagging indicator, but the eco ... more  |

Aerosols May Drive A Significant Portion Of Arctic Warming
Boston MA (SPX) Apr 21, 2009Though greenhouse gases are invariably at the center of discussions about global climate change, new NASA research suggests that much of the atmospheric warming observed in the Arctic since 1976 may be due to changes in tiny airborne particles called aerosols. Emitted by natural and human sources, aerosols can directly influence climate by reflecting or absorbing the sun's radiation. The s ... more Damage To Forests Could Cost The Earth Its Major Carbon Sink 
New York, NY (SPX) Apr 21, 2009The critical role of forests as massive "sinks" for absorbing greenhouse gases is "at risk of being lost entirely" to climate change-induced environmental stresses that threaten to damage and even decimate forests worldwide, according to a new report. The report will be formally presented at the next session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) taking place 20 April - 1 May 2009 a ... more How Day-Planner For Astronauts Helps Firefighters 
Dublin, Ireland (ESA) Apr 20, 2009The Dublin Fire Brigade is using mobile communication technology, originally developed for astronauts on the International Space Station, to get crucial information about emergency situations while en route to accident scenes. Firefighters can intervene faster, saving precious time and possibly lives. The new system allows an emergency crew travelling to a fire to download the layout of th ... more UBC Researchers Put A New Spin On Electrons 
Vancouver, BC (SPX) Apr 20, 2009In the first demonstration of its kind, researchers at the University of British Columbia have controlled the spin of electrons using a ballistic technique--bouncing electrons through a microscopic channel of precisely constructed, two-dimensional layer of semiconductor. It's the first time the intrinsic properties of a semiconductor-not external electric or magnetic fields-have been used ... more |
