On the light side the believers in a sustainable future based on clean energy fight to save us from climate change. The dark side defends the continuing use of fossil fuels, often careless of the impact it has on the world. Jeremy Leggett fought for the light side for a quarter of a century as it lost battle after battle. Then, in 2013, the tide began to turn. By 2015, it was clear the the war could be won. Leggett’s front-line chronicle tells one person’s story of those turnaround years, culminating in dramatic scenes at the Paris climate summit, and what they can mean for the world. iv “Given how vital developments in energy and climate will be for the future global economy, a front-line chronicle of events as they unfold in the make-or-break year ahead promises to be fascinating.

  • The Shale Boom Shifts Into Higher Gear Oil Production Is Becoming a Modern Manufacturing Process, with Frackers Using the ‘Just-In-Time’ Approach
    The Wall Street Journal, June 1, 2015 The Shale Boom Shifts Into Higher Gear Oil production is becoming a modern manufacturing process, with frackers using the ‘just-in-time’ approach. By Donald L. Luskin and Michael Warren Have the American entrepreneurs who developed horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing—“fracking”—done their jobs too well? The increase in domestic crude oil production of 3.6 million barrels a day in less than four years, reversing almost four decades of decline, has created a spectacular macroeconomic anomaly—a crash in oil prices without a recession to cause it. Now, in response to sharply lower prices, domestic oil producers have shed jobs and cut operating rigs by more than half. This has sent shock waves through the entire U.S. economy. The drop in fixed assets for drilling, alone, slashed about half a percentage point off first quarter gross domestic product. The crash in oil prices wasn’t due to lower demand. Petroleum demand in the U.S. is at its highest since 2010, and demand in China is higher than ever. Nor was the crash due to monopolistic OPEC manipulation. To be sure, the cartel, led by Saudi Arabia, chose not to cut production to support falling prices. But looking at the fracking tidal wave in the U.S., OPEC was only following the old Chinese proverb: When faced with the inevitable, try to enjoy it. Now the question is whether U.S. frackers can adapt to the lower prices they created. Fracking blossomed following the trough of the Great Recession, when oil prices were, on average and adjusted for inflation, the highest in history—even higher than in the 1970s.

  • Oil and Gas News Briefs, January 23, 2020
    Oil and Gas News Briefs Compiled by Larry Persily January 23, 2020 U.S. natural gas industry ‘a victim of its own success’ (Bloomberg; Jan. 19) – Back in October, President Donald Trump flew to Pennsylvania to hail one of the state’s most important industries — not coal, but gas. Trump spoke at an industry event of the “astonishing increase” in shale gas production. The Appalachia region has spearheaded a historic expansion, turning the U.S. into the world’s biggest gas producer while slashing prices for consumers and sounding the death knell for domestic coal. But the dark side of the gas boom is increasingly difficult to ignore. Shale drillers are extracting so much gas that it’s overwhelming demand. Prices briefly dipped below $2 per million Btu on Jan. 17 — the first time since 2016. At that level, U.S. producers don’t make money. It’s forcing a wave of multibillion-dollar write-downs, layoffs and spending cuts. Still the industry is powerless to stop a wave of additional gas hitting the market as a byproduct of rising shale oil output. Even exports of liquefied natural gas are providing little relief, as the global LNG market also is oversupplied. “The industry is a victim of its own success,” said Devin McDermott, an analyst at Morgan Stanley. “You don’t just have oversupply in the U.S. You have oversupply … across the globe.” Corporate distress is mounting. Chesapeake Energy, once in the vanguard of U.S. frackers, is struggling with more than $9 billion of debt. It warned in November it may go bust.

    Oil Wars with Troy Andrews 3.85 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 04/30/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 87) An Economic War on Energy Oil has been near the center of every economic and geopolitical turmoil over the last hundred years. Now with negative oil prices we are entering unprecedented territory. As Russia and Saudis fight for market share, even our Saudi allies seem to be working against the US energy industry. Many American politicians are ready to give America’s energy independence away. At the same time ESG funds put a globalist agenda above investor returns with their focus on slowing economies to reduce carbon emissions. While in the short term you may not feel it, make no mistake there is an economic war on oil and energy. Your life and livelihood will be collateral damage! “Putin and Russia saw this as an opportunity to increase market share and they’re worried about the success of the American shale industry.” –Kevin Freeman Your Mission: To understand the foreign and domestic threats in the economic war on oil and what is really happening today. Also, why energy independence is critical to America’s economic recovery and what you should do. “The Economic War on Oil is an attack on the United States and in a certain way an attack on President Trump. If you crash the economy before the election, you hope to change the outcome.” –Kevin Freeman page 1 Oil Wars with Troy Andrews 3.85 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 04/30/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 87) Ep. 3.85 (OSINT) Open Sourced Intelligence Briefing.

After all of the hoopla, the New Year arrived with a yawn.
