Ireland's Future Energy Security Declan Murphy, Founder of the Ecology Foundation, launched the foundations latest report; Energy Security: Ireland on the Edge at a lunchtime meeting of the IIEAs working group on EU energy policy. Mr Murphy used the opportunity to highlight Irelands potential to become a hub for renewable energy development and to encourage discussion of the issues, which in his opinion are currently hindering this potential. He predicted a 20-year transition period before Ireland could expect to be a leading supplier of renewable energy to the European market and a world leader in energy services and Intellectual property in the area. Achieving Energy security will be a key factor in Irelands success or failure to achieve these aims alongside financial stability and the presence of a national vision. Exploration of the Corrib gas field was highlighted by Mr Murphy as crucial to meeting the first challenge and providing a bridging solution whilst Ireland makes the transition to a 100% renewable energy mix. He estimated that infrastructure projects on average take a generation longer than in the US, UK or France and highlighted the following obstacles which need to be overcome; Political Delays, Political Inertia, Civil Service Culture, Finance and cost per kWh, Retro-fitting the grid, Environmental opposition, Energy storage and the Risk assessment regime. He stated that progress could be made in 2010 with the achievement of the following deliverables <b>...</b>

Courtesy National Nuclear Security Administration / Nevada Site Office The 280 MM Gun at the Nevada Proving Ground The first artillery test was on May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 ft) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons. This was the only nuclear artillery shell ever actually fired in the US test program. The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 ft) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb); it was fired from a special artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie", built by the Artillery Test Unit of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Around 3200 personnel were present. The warhead was designated the W9 and 80 were produced from 1952-53 for the T-124 shell. It was retired in 1957. en.wikipedia.org

President Barack Obama unveiled plans on Wednesday for a limited expansion of US offshore oil and gas drilling in an effort to win Republican support for new proposals to fight climate change. Opening up parts of the US Atlantic coast, Alaska and possibly offshore Florida to exploration is Obama's latest effort to woo legislators needed to pass a climate bill before mid-term elections in November. Some senior Republicans in Congress called the drilling announcement a step in the right direction but said Obama did not go far enough. Environmental groups and some congressional liberals condemned the plan for endangering wildlife and coastal areas merely to give oil companies more profits. Obama, who needs bipartisan support to pass a bill that would set limits on US greenhouse gas emissions, cautioned that expanding drilling was not a catch-all answer to US energy challenges. "Drilling alone can't come close to meeting our long-term energy needs, and for the sake of our planet and our energy independence, we need to begin the transition to cleaner fuels now," Obama said at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland. "I know that we can come together to pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation that's going to foster new energy -- new industries, create millions of new jobs, protect our planet, and help us become more energy independent." Obama has made energy security and reducing US reliance on foreign oil a key policy goal, and Republican support for drilling <b>...</b>

Wits Business School and BP Plc cordially invite you to a Distinguished Lecture Series discussion on the "Oil Market Outlook � 2010 and Beyond" by Christof Ruehl, Group Chief Economist and Vice President of BP Plc where he manages the company's global Economics Team. Meeting the demands of evolving energy needs has become a daily trial for governments and energy providers the world over. BP, as one of the world's largest energy companies, endeavours to inform and engage on global energy issues in order to move forward and meet the supply needs of an ever changing world. Demand is changing as countries' industrial and consumer needs develop, meanwhile sources of supply evolve. Nation states continue to face the challenge of balancing security and independence of supply against increasing costs and environmental concerns. As new regulation comes into place to combat harmful emissions and safeguard the environment; public and private enterprises are duty bound to respond. Likewise, governments continue to be responsible for sourcing and developing secure energy supplies to ensure continued development. These issues continue to be front of mind for all nations, not least South Africa which confronts many of the economic, industrial and social challenges facing developing countries. "The world has enough proved reserves of oil, natural gas and coal to meet the world's needs for decades to come. The challenges the world faces in growing supplies to meet future demand are not <b>...</b>

In the hearing, Rep. Matsui emphasized that BP must be held fully accountable for the spill, and that their first priority must be to stop the leak from continuing to spread, and to ensure that the clean-up efforts are carried out to protect our coastal communities and the families whose livelihoods depend on them. But Matsui also said that it is incumbent upon all of us to make certain this never happens again -- and the way to do that is to reduce America's dependence on oil.

A: On January 19, 1968, a thermonuclear test, codenamed Faultless, took place in the Central Nevada Supplemental Test Area. The codename turned out to be a poor choice of words because a fresh fault rupture some 1200 meters long was produced. Seismographic records showed that the seismic waves produced by the fault movement were much less energetic than those produced directly by the nuclear explosion. Analysis of local seismic recordings (within a couple of miles) of nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site shows that some tectonic stress is released simultaneously with the explosion. Analysis of the seismic wavefield generated by the blast shows the source can be characterized as 70-80 percent dilational (explosive-like) and 20-30 percent deviatoric (earthquake-like). The rock in the vicinity of the thermonuclear device is shattered by the passage of the explosions shock wave. This releases the elastic strain energy that was stored in the rock and adds an earthquake-like component to the seismic <b>...</b>

Written and Performed by Jenna Huff All Rights Reserved Lyrics: Chorus: "F" BP thats what the people say, they're killing the oceans drilling everyday, stop the leak up, the people gotta speak up, we gotta speak up Verse: Lotta people died out on that rig, just so BP could save some money on that dig, but those people had kids, family and friends, where will the death to profit ratio end?, profit from recklessness and the death of a father, BP execs should be in jail for manslaughter, Obama is pushing for drilling to stop, but Feldman doesn't want to shut down the shop, Judge Feldman has got no sense, Don't he know the ocean is on what life depends?, Killing the water, only hurting ourselves before the leak stops now, the earth will turn to hell, red waters gonna fill the sea, now its killing the fish, next its you and me, its sad the oceans are all connected, you kill the ocean you're killing the planet CHORUS Verse: Salazar, he man where's the change we knew about MMS corruption since 2008! If you can't fire your friends then hand me the reigns. MMS and BP sleeping with the ones writing bills, using the poor man's money to buy pills and cause spills in the ocean, time to start a commotion, BP, their crude and dispersants nothing but a death potion, BP makes money off their death games, now Barton cries shakedown in BP's name <b>...</b>

BP's Gulf Coast Wave Gliders, The vehicles, known as Wave Gliders and developed by Liquid Robotics in Silicon Valley, California, get their propulsion power from wave action and use solar power for their electronics. They will be deployed beginning today and begin a months-long, ongoing research program in the Gulf of Mexico. "These vehicles will provide us a steady stream of data about water quality and should significantly increase the available data for ongoing research activity," said Mike Utsler, chief operating office of BP's Gulf Coast Restoration Organization. "We will initially deploy the Wave Gliders between the Macondo well and the shoreline, and look to expand from there in the future." The unique technology allows deployment of sensors persistently, for the long term, to monitor key environmental variables, including: water quality -- detection of any emulsified, dissolved and dispersed oil in water; phytoplankton (chlorophyll); colored, dissolved oxygen matter (CDOM) and other scientifically useful variables marine mammal vocalizations weather and water temperature data. "Initially we will be calibrating a set of nine optical sensors to monitor water quality, including trace amounts of dispersed oil, and will then add acoustic monitoring of marine mammal activity," said Roger Hine, president and CEO of Liquid Robotics. "We look forward to working with BP on this extended research program." The first two Wave Glider vehicles will be deployed to the vicinity <b>...</b>

Hayward gained a first class geology degree from Aston University in Birmingham followed by a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. Joining BP in 1982, with his first job as a rig geologist in Aberdeen, he quickly rose through the ranks in a series of technical and commercial roles in BP Exploration in London, Aberdeen, France, China and Glasgow. Hayward first came to Lord Browne's attention during a leadership conference in 1990 in Phoenix, Arizona. As a result, he was made Browne's executive assistant. In 1992, Hayward moved to Colombia as exploration manager and became president of BP's operations in Venezuela in 1995. In August 1997, he returned to London as a director of BP Exploration. He became group vice president of BP Amoco Exploration and Production as well as a member of the BP group's Upstream executive committee in 1999. Hayward was appointed BP group treasurer in September 2000 where his responsibilities included global treasury operations, foreign exchange dealing, corporate finance, project finance and mergers and acquisitions. Hayward became an executive vice president in April 2002, and Chief Executive of exploration and production in January 2003. In 2009, Hayward was awarded the honorary <b>...</b>

June 17, 2010 www.amazon.com Watch the full testimony: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com On April 30 President Barack Obama issued an order for the federal government to hold issuing new offshore drilling leases until a thorough review determines whether more safety systems are needed and authorized SWAT teams to investigate 29 oil rigs in the Gulf in an effort to determine the cause of the disaster. On May 11, Department of the Interior released a press release, announcing that the inspection of deepwater drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico found no major violations. On June 9, the FAA issued a no-fly zone over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the affected area, effective until further notice. According to the New York Times, the Department of Homeland Security is denying media access to the area. The Obama administration sent a $69 million bill to BP for the US government's clean up effort. The bill was also sent to Transocean, Andarko, Moex Offshore and QBE Underwriting. On June 15 President Obama made his first speech from the Oval Office, addressing the BP oil spill crisis, saying, "This oil spill is the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced... Make no mistake: we will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long as it takes. We will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused. And we will do whatever's necessary to help the Gulf Coast and its people recover from this tragedy." President Obama was criticized for continually referring to BP <b>...</b>

BP Plc (NYSE:BP) chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg and other company officials met with President Obama Wednesday to discuss the financial steps the company will take in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. A senior administration official told CNN that BP has agreed to put $20 billion into an escrow fund to pay for claims stemming from the disastrous spill, following the president's national address last night urging BP to take immediate action and responsibility for the spill. Vice President Joel Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Attorney General Eric Holder, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and more, participated in the meeting with Obama and Svanberg. BP CEO Tony Hayward, Managing Director Bob Dudley, and BP America CEO Lamar McKay represented the company alongside Svanberg. BP will not be allowed to control the escrow fund, which will instead be directed by a third party. Obama said in his address last night that "in the coming days and weeks," containment efforts "should capture up to 90 percent of the oil leaking out of the well," which is expected to end later this summer. The president commented, "We will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long as it takes," after surveying the Gulf Coast for two days. BP added a second containment system to stop the oil and gas leakage from the Gulf of Mexico seafloor earlier today, and officials said the additional containment unit is equipped to <b>...</b>

For many years now Britain and America has been portrayed by the media as an enduring love affair, 'In peace and in war, in freedom and exploitation, during prosperity and recession, till death do us part.' Like true partners in crime, Britain supported America's illegal wars and always ready in its defense, ready to sacrifice its children and send them as soldiers receiving only a fraction of the war spoils. Consequently endangering its own citizens and its own security under the false assumption that America will always stand with them. But the true nature of this relationship has only surfaced after recent events. The oil spill in the gulf coast has killed many people and animals; it has destroyed entire communities within the ecosystem. Obama has likened it to an ecological '9/11'.These are ironic words coming from the world's No. 1 polluter, even more ironic is that it was an American President who strongly lobbied for oil off that coastline, and that it was the American people who agreed to cheap-oil instead of clean energy, and it was an American subcontractor who caused the accident, meaning they were ALL responsible for this yet it's the British who are facing the hostility and it is BP is cleaning up and seemingly it is BP who will be getting the bill? It just seems that the British are an easy target and are been used as a scapegoat in this situation, an easy target. Obama has shown his true colours as he cuts and runs to save his own bacon just like a pig. As <b>...</b>

About this Event 06 Nov 2009 @ 12:45 EU Energy Security About the Speech: Mr Vinois gave an overview of the main challenges faced by the EU in securing its future energy supply and outlined the Commission's policy response. He charted the development of a more thorough EU energy policy over the last four years; from calls for a more comprehensive policy expressed at the Hampton Court council in 2005 to last November's second strategic review. He noted the increased consensus that has emerged on both the causes of Climate Change and the conclusion that business as usual for a sector responsible for 65% of EU ghg emissions is not sustainable. The issues behind last Januarys gas crisis were covered in some detail and the Commission's response to this dispute with a revision of the gas supply directive was also discussed. Finally Mr Vinois illustrated the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty, on course to be ratified this month, which will help to facilitate a more comprehensive and soldarity-oriented approach to energy issues. This event forms part of a series of events on the topic of energy security planned by the Institute. Further details to follow on www.iiea.com over the coming weeks.

Ireland's Future Energy Security Declan Murphy, Founder of the Ecology Foundation, launched the foundations latest report; Energy Security: Ireland on the Edge at a lunchtime meeting of the IIEAs working group on EU energy policy. Mr Murphy used the opportunity to highlight Irelands potential to become a hub for renewable energy development and to encourage discussion of the issues, which in his opinion are currently hindering this potential. He predicted a 20-year transition period before Ireland could expect to be a leading supplier of renewable energy to the European market and a world leader in energy services and Intellectual property in the area. Achieving Energy security will be a key factor in Irelands success or failure to achieve these aims alongside financial stability and the presence of a national vision. Exploration of the Corrib gas field was highlighted by Mr Murphy as crucial to meeting the first challenge and providing a bridging solution whilst Ireland makes the transition to a 100% renewable energy mix. He estimated that infrastructure projects on average take a generation longer than in the US, UK or France and highlighted the following obstacles which need to be overcome; Political Delays, Political Inertia, Civil Service Culture, Finance and cost per kWh, Retro-fitting the grid, Environmental opposition, Energy storage and the Risk assessment regime.

Courtesy National Nuclear Security Administration / Nevada Site Office The 280 MM Gun at the Nevada Proving Ground The first artillery test was on May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 ft) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons. This was the only nuclear artillery shell ever actually fired in the US test program. The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 ft) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb); it was fired from a special artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie", built by the Artillery Test Unit of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Around 3200 personnel were present. The warhead was designated the W9 and 80 were produced from 1952-53 for the T-124 shell. It was retired in 1957. en.wikipedia.org

President Barack Obama unveiled plans on Wednesday for a limited expansion of US offshore oil and gas drilling in an effort to win Republican support for new proposals to fight climate change. Opening up parts of the US Atlantic coast, Alaska and possibly offshore Florida to exploration is Obama's latest effort to woo legislators needed to pass a climate bill before mid-term elections in November. Some senior Republicans in Congress called the drilling announcement a step in the right direction but said Obama did not go far enough. Environmental groups and some congressional liberals condemned the plan for endangering wildlife and coastal areas merely to give oil companies more profits. Obama, who needs bipartisan support to pass a bill that would set limits on US greenhouse gas emissions, cautioned that expanding drilling was not a catch-all answer to US energy challenges. "Drilling alone can't come close to meeting our long-term energy needs, and for the sake of our planet and our energy independence, we need to begin the transition to cleaner fuels now," Obama said at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland. "I know that we can come together to pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation that's going to foster new energy -- new industries, create millions of new jobs, protect our planet, and help us become more energy independent." Obama has made energy security and reducing US reliance on foreign oil a key policy goal, and Republican support for drilling <b>...</b>

With a regasification capacity of 8 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year, the LNG terminal will increase by 200% Italys regasification capacity and account for 10% of the countrys natural gas needs. This facility will thus play a key role in increasing Italys energy security and will make the Italian natural gas market more competitive.
