Wrestle

While California energy officials wrestle with where to find more natural gas-fired, renewable-based and purchased power sources of electric generation in the immediate years ahead, regulators and utility officials will be coping with the closure and eventual decommissioning of one of the state’s two major nuclear generation plants.

Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies are tight and expected to remain so for a while as liquefaction projects in progress wrestle with delays and those being planned face an environment of escalating costs. However, there is plenty of gas to liquefy in Australia, the United States (thank you, shales) and elsewhere. And there’s growing demand as gas is becoming the “fuel of choice” around the world.

Pennsylvania legislators continue to wrestle over details of a $28 billion state budget, and a severance tax on natural gas drilling, possibly to be passed as a separate measure later this year, remains on the table. At the same time, the state’s regulators are pressuring drillers in the Marcellus Shale to improve the safety and environmental impact of their operations.

How much radioactive contamination is too much? The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) will wrestle with that question over the next few months as it sorts out whether to allow producers to explore the natural gas-prone area near the nuclear blast site at Project Rulison.

Natural gas producers, consumers and regulators in North America and Europe will wrestle with new supply uncertainty, fuel alternatives, and volatile markets and prices for at least the next three years, according to Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) researchers.

As Californians continue to wrestle with their own staggering electricity and natural gas bills, they are probably unaware that they are also contributing millions of dollars to help people in other states pay their energy bills through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), according to analysts with Reston, VA-based Energy Market & Policy Analysis Inc.(EMPA).
