REPORT
There are large quantities of coal mine water in Pennsylvania—much more than could be used in the coming decade for hydraulic fracturing. Researchers and operators will need to further explore quantity and quality needs to confirm whether coal mine drainage sources represent a viable, large-scale alternative to fresh water.
PERIODICAL
Features discuss energy strategies for Israel, the economic recession, and Iran's leadership; other items discuss the KC-10 fleet, air pollution and hospital costs, no-fault insurance, silica litigation, poverty reduction, and political polarization.
RESEARCH BRIEF
Israel must control future electricity demand. It can build a secure energy infrastructure in which natural gas provides up to 40 percent of electric power generation but only by taking measures to limit supply disruptions.
REPORT
Israel can make natural gas usage a bigger part of its energy portfolio without jeopardizing its security, but even more importantly, the nation needs to make conservation measures a priority in its future energy plans.
REPORT
Israel must employ strategic alternatives to make the best use of domestic and imported natural gas. This report explores natural gas-utilization and supply-infrastructure strategies in the face of extreme uncertainty and potentially large consequences; favorable and unfavorable future environments; and ways to achieve an energy future that reduces Israelis' exposure to vulnerabilities and risks.
REPORT
Natural gas demand in the United States is projected to increase by 50 percent over the next 25 years, and much of this demand may be met by increasing production on federal lands in the intermountain west. This report presents a new approach to assessing natural gas and oil resources that is intended to help federal land managers with strategic land use planning by expanding the scope of these assessments to include economic and…
REPORT
Testimony presented before the U.S. House Committee on Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources on June 24, 2003.
REPORT
The authors examine four recent traditional assessments of the nation's potential supply of natural gas and oil resources.
REPORT
Assesses the benefits, risks, and implications of California's increased use of natural gas and describes likely problems and potential options for addressing and preventing them. Addresses supply-side solutions, such as building more capacity to receive and store gas, and demand-side solutions, such as energy efficiency and diversifying the portfolio of electricity generation with renewables and distributed generation.
REPORT
Testimony before the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources of the Committee on Resources of the United States House of Representatives on April 18, 2002.
REPORT
The authors propose that comprehensive resource assessment focus not on land access restrictions but on determining what resources are recoverable.
