Corn-Based Ethanol: Is This a Solution?
2007-06-07 00:00:00 Many people have high hopes for ethanol made from corn--that it will prevent future gasoline shortages, prevent global warming, be a wonderful investment, and improve the income of farmers, among other things. Other observers raise a whole host of concerns including scalability, impact on the environment, and impact on food prices. Why is there such a huge disparity in views? What is the real promise for corn ethanol? Many questions and answers under the fold. [break] 1. Why don't we see more stations selling E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline mixture)? In 2006, about 20% of the US corn crop was used to produce ethanol. Even with this huge share of the corn crop, US corn-based ethanol amounted to only about 3.5% of the US gasoline supply by volume, and 2.4% of the supply by energy contribution. Even if all the corn-based ethanol that was produced were used as E85, there would not be many gasoline stations selling E85. In fact, only a very small portion of the corn ethanol that is pro...

Cyclone Gonu Thread and Link Dump
2007-06-04 00:00:00 Let's get on top of this people. All tips and resources (*and there are already many down there, thank you!*) welcome in the comment thread below. If you have any insights, please email the editors box with the word GONU in the subject. From Jim Andrews over at Accuweather: There is TC Gonu , unusually powerful and unusually far to the northwest--and it is headed towards the northwest. Thus, the first land in the path of Gonu, as it is now moving, would be easternmost Oman. And this is where the latest JTWC advisory takes Gonu--ashore southeast of Masqat. As far as numerical forecast models, the GFS is still handling Gonu poorly, but the ECMWF, which has been remarkably prescient on this amazing storm, is still taking a powerful low ashore in SE Oman--and even into interior eastern Arabia. I cannot rule out extreme, unusual weather in UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to at least Al Ahsa and the southern/middle Najd (Riyadh). And here's a picture of the projected track: Click "there's...

Gasoline Prices ? Part I: Immediate Causes
2007-06-04 00:00:00 Introduction As of this writing in late May 2007, gasoline prices have increased by over $0.70 per gallon since March. This is great news if you bought gasoline futures in March, but bad news for most consumers, and the politicians that answer to them. If you knew where to look, there were early indications of trouble brewing last winter. By February to early March there were definite signs pointing toward an impending problem ? over 2 months before this became a "crisis" in the view of the public. On March 9, 2007 I warned that gasoline supplies "could pose problems in the coming weeks" and "higher gasoline prices will be the norm rather than the exception in upcoming years." So, how did this situation happen? In Part I, I will discuss the short term causes that have resulted in the current supply crunch, and explain what factors potentially signal higher prices. In Part II, I will address longer term factors and policy decisions that have contributed to the problem. [break] Gougin... More About: Gasoline , Cause , Line , Mediate
