July 7, 2008 10: 15 AM ET - Jobs on chopping block at GM.

http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2008/analyzing_mccain.html George Bush cannot be the bar against which we measure John McCain, argued Navin Nayak of the League of Conservation Voters. Nayak provided McCain 101 for the final panel of the day on energy policy. The panel included Joseph Romm and Bracken Hendricks, both Senior Fellows at CAPAF, and Nayak, who emphasized that while McCain s energy policies look good compared to President Bush, voters must look at McCain s policies more broadly. Like Bush, Nayak said, McCain opposes renewable energy, as evidenced by his votes against a renewable electricity standard and tax credits for renewable energy. Nayak also criticized McCain for voting against increasing automobile fuel efficiency, his advisors ties to the oil and gas industries, and the fact that McCain s plan to combat global warming only calls for 60 percent reductions in greenhouse gases by 2050. Romm criticized McCain for what he called a placebo energy policy, which would do nothing to resolve the energy crisis, but would still make people feel better. Similarly, Hendricks criticized McCain for supporting energy policies which even McCain acknowledged would only have a psychological effect. Attacking McCain s support of a gas tax holiday, Romm said, the important thing to realize about the gas tax holiday is that it s just a holiday for gas and oil companies. Romm also argued that allowing offshore drilling in sensitive costal areas, as McCain has proposed, would have no effect on oil prices. Romm also attacked McCain s plan to offer $300 million to the inventor of cheaper, more efficient batteries that could make plug-in hybrids more efficient. It is completely pointless for the federal government to offer $300 million there s no way you could actually award this prize. Nobody invents anything that is much cheaper than existing technology today. That only occurs when you sell a million units a year this is a complete and utter gimmick, he said. Panelists criticized McCain s plan to build more nuclear power plants for a number of reasons. Nayak pointed out that building nuclear plants is expensive, and that the electricity generated by such plants would also be expensive in the absence of government subsidies. Romm said that providing such subsidies to a mature technology like nuclear energy would be a poor choice, and instead suggested subsidies for alternatives like wind and solar power. He also noted the difficulties in disposing of the radioactive waste that is a byproduct of nuclear power. [McCain is] trying to simultaneously appeal to conservatives and moderates by adopting ambiguous and ultimately ineffective positions, said Romm.

Worldwide demand for oil continues to grow and why Congress won't do anything about it.

World Energy Television continues its series on water technology with a look at the use of water in natural gas recovery. An important environmental and economic concern for natural gas producers is obtaining water, disposing of it, and recycling the water used in resource plays. Industry experts, including Bill Stevens, executive vice president with TEAP; Brent Halldorson, COO of Aqua-Pure; Andree Griffin, the Forth Worth Basin geology manager for XTO Energy; Mark Whitley, senior vice president of Range Resource Corp. and Dr. Roberts Mace, director of groundwater resources for the Texas Water Development Board, visit WETV s studios to examine the technology that makes water a viable new tool in production and manufacturing and to address issues of efficiency. Although water is often mentioned in the context of wells, in fact only 10 percent of the total water used is for drilling, while the remaining 90 percent is involved in fracing, or injection into a natural gas well. This technology is more fully explained on WETV s new episode on water technology, as are the development of resource plays, evolutionary vs. revolutionary changes, and projections on water usage, especially concerning fracing and the Barnett Shale.

Michael Greenberger, the former head of the CFTC's Division of Trading and Markets, testified yesterday before the Senate Commerce Committee on the topic of Energy Market Manipulation. He stated that the investment banks, namely Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS), control the price of oil and natural gas through the ICE futures market. He cited that Morgan Stanley currently owns 27% of the natural gas futures. He stated that former Senator Phil Gramm of Texas sneaked the Enron loophole through a large piece of insignificant legislation years ago: the result was that regulations upon the futures industry were abandoned. This loophole eventually allowed the current CDO-subprime crisis, and the current energy market crisis because regulations, which once protected the market from manipulation, are no longer enforcable. Greenberger suggested that the current attempt of closing the Enron loophole by Senator Levin through the Farm Bill, would not work - as it would leave the government with the constant burden of proof to prove manipulation was occurring. Also it would only be enforcable on domestic market manipulators and not international ones. Greenberger said that legislation immediately closing the Enron Loophole with a broader, international scope would stop market manipultion and would cause oil prices to plunge over 25% overnight.

Oil prices are up sharply, but don't discount the chances of a sharp pullback. Some analysts think a drop in demand, a rise in alternative fuels, and a gradual increase in oil production will change the mind-set on prices
