• Energy the ability to do work.
• Energy is measured in joules (J).
• Energy is found in various forms such as
Wind
Geothermal Oil
Solar Nuclear
Biomass Coal
Water Natural gas
SECONDARY ENERGY
SOURCES
*Hydrogen
*Electricity
• All forms of energy are stored in different ways, in the energy
sources that we use every day. These sources are divided into two
groups -- renewable (an energy source that can be replenished in a
short period of time) and nonrenewable (an energy source that we
are using up and cannot recreate in a short period of
time). Renewable and nonrenewable energy sources can be used to
produce secondary energy sources including electricity and
hydrogen.
ENERGY USAGE
• COOLING
• Check your air filter once a month by holding it up to a bright light. If you can't see
through it, it's time to clean or replace the filter.
• Use ceiling fans rather than the air conditioner when possible.
• Close curtains and blinds to help keep the sun out in the summer.
• Make sure there are no cracks around doors and windows.
• Avoid cooling rooms that are not occupied.
• Improving attic ventilation and insulation can lower the temperature of your home
during hot summer days. Also consider installing an attic fan to dispense hot air.
• Raising the thermostat to 78 degrees can save on cooling costs.
• Awnings, trees and large shrubs near windows all help to block out the heat from your
home.
• Avoid opening and closing doors. Heat enters and the cold air escapes.
• HEATING
• Open curtains and blinds to let the sun warm your home in the winter.
• Keep drapes closed at night to keep warm air indoors.
• Check your air filter once a month. Replace dirty filters regularly.
• Ensure that your home has proper insulation in walls, ceilings and floors.
• Storm windows and doors prevent warm air from escaping.
• Keep your fireplace damper closed when not in use.
• Keep your thermostat at the lowest temperature comfortable for you.
• Avoid opening and closing doors. Cold air enters and the heated air
escapes.
• LIGHTING

So begins Michael Klare's article chronicling the end of the energy world as we
know it. Klare identifies intense competition over energy sources among economic
powers, insufficiency of existing energy supplies, the delay in developing alternative
energy sources, migration of wealth and power to energy-rich nations and a growing
risk of conflict as factors shaping our new energy reality.

"Practical Peak Oil" Policy Highlighted in Saudi Arabia
In remarks that flew under the radar screen of American
media, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah revealed orders to
preserve new oil discoveries untapped, in order to extend
the reign of oil wealth in his country. "When there were
some new finds, I told them, 'no, leave it in the ground, with
grace from god, our children need it'," King Abdullah said.
King Abdullah's position mimics that of Saudi oil minister Ali
al-Naimi who, when asked "How high can your production
go?" replied, "We’ll get to 12.5 million barrels a day and
then we’ll see." Current Saudi production capacity stands
at roughly 11.3 million bpd.

Second Largest Oil Producer Posts Production Decline
Russia, the world's second-largest oil producer, indicated that it has
hit a plateau in production. In fact, Russia’s oil production last month,
9.76 million b/d, declined 1.3% compared to March 2007. Compared
to last October’s high-water mark of 9.93 million b/d, production has
declined 2.4%.
Previously, the Russian Natural Resources Minister warned that a
drop in oil production was likely for 2008 compared to 2007. The
downturn in Russian oil production did not come as a surprise within
the country, since various Russian experts during 2004-2005
vocalized concerns about future slowdowns.
The lack of sufficient pipeline capacity, high decline rates from aging
fields, and tough new tax regimes all grab some share of the blame
for the stagnant oil production rates. It is predicted that Russia will
cut taxes on oil companies to encourage development of new,
harder-to-reach deposits and thereby alleviate the market
stagnation.

Oil Prices Hit Historic High
Oil prices set a new record high during trading on
Wednesday, April 9, topping out at $112 per barrel.
Rising oil prices can not turn to OPEC for alleviation, as
producers maintained their decision to cap production at
current levels.
Additionally, the larger than anticipated fall in U.S. crude
and gasoline inventories coupled with the declining value
of the dollar spurred oil trading on to a record high.
Thank you for watching our slide.
