Will the Nat gas be the fuel of the future for heavy trucks? Eyup.
Will America will be exporting nat gas and ignoring our coal assets as nuke generated electric goes offline never to return. It's happening now.
Will electrical demand increase because Americans are being commanded to fall in love with electric vehicles? Watch TV lately?

RALEIGH, N.C., July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Progress Energy Carolinas, a subsidiary of Duke Energy (DUK), will accelerate the retirement of one North Carolina coal-fired power plant previously slated for closing in 2013, and will retire the utility's only coal-fired unit in South Carolina.

The company announced today that the 316-megawatt (MW) Cape Fear coal-fired plant, located near Moncure, N.C., and the 177-MW H.B.

Interesting that there is never anything in the papers about those giant bird swatters, but if an Indian or a hunter kills an eagle it's front page everywhere.
Wind farms might kill a few thousand birds every once in a while and it's just the cost of political planning and swept under the rug by the very agency in place to protect against exactly this sort of thing happening.]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 08:38:03 -0400 When the EPA starts protecting sea birds and endangered's the wind farms will have to come down.

They understand that running their business model for the long term trumps short term fluctuations. The price of oil will not stay lower than the cost of bringing it to market.]]> Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:42:58 -0500
