Analysis by: Timothy Nash, Managing Director,Freeport LNG applies to export gas imports | www.ogj.com
Do not expect USG LNG exports anytime soon. The LNG is not available from the US. The infrastructure is not available to make LNG in the US Gulf. The U.S. political winds would not permit energy exports in this market.

Analysis by: Timothy Nash, Managing Director,Have terminals, need LNG | www.iht.com
There is far more U.S. regas capacity than necessary. This is somewhat true world-wide, but for a different reason - There are seasonal demand days in Spain, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc. when they do need all the regas, and that capacity was built for those days. Supply is king, and will be until about 2013. LNG production increases are way behind schedule almost everywhere, for a number of reasons. LNG Shipping will be very week for the next few years.

Analysis by: Eric Smith, Professor and Associate Director,Idaho Transmission Dispute Settled | www.renewableenergyaccess.com
The issue of access to crucial transmission infrastructure is not limited to wind power. Much the same argument can be made about pipeline access for non-conventional natural gas developments in areas of the midwest or indeed for conventional forms of merchant power generation. Ask any merchant generator about his negotiations for access to any of the regional power grids and you will likely hear the same complaint. Namely, that the existing utility should cover the expense of requisite switch gear and reliability checks, plus pay a higher price for the power being supplied. The porblem is not new and the ultimate suolution is a motivated customer base.

Analysis by: Eric Smith, Professor and Associate Director,Offshore Score since 2001: Europe 24, U.S. 0 | www.renewableenergyaccess.com
The use of onshore windpower has made remarkable strides in the US where the proper conditions exist, for example, in Texas where windy conditions are endemic and where the body politic supports initiatives of this type. In contrast, the major US effort for offshore widnpower, the Cape Wind project in Naragansett Bay, has been stymied over classic NIMBY issues.

Where does the corn come from?
July 9, 2007
Analysis by: Eric Smith, Professor and Associate Director,Riding the Rails With Ethanol | www.businessweek.com
A quick look at the location of the ethanol plants will reveal that most are located in corn producing regions. That isn't particularly surprising. However, within those regions the majority of the ethanol plants are located as far from the river systems as possible. The reason for this is that corn with economic access to barge transportation will preferentially flow to marine transportation, given the generally lower freight rates.
