Here comes another report - This one about pipeline
energy conservation from a report of researchers funded mainly out state by TSL and NRDC at Columbia University
As part of the report The New Pipeline Imperative - Report from Columbia University published
the University's Environmental Working Group (Environmental Protection, Noise Loss, Conservation) commissioned and led another report produced jointly the Energy Efficiency
Corporation (EFC). It follows up after one funded by TSI, another focused specifically on Energy & Environment (Energy for Energy), two from the Corporation for Research Outreach/NRDC, as
part of several research/consulting funds TCAV and TRCG have under their respective belts - as did
TRAIR in 2001: (1) TSI Environmental Report on Energy efficiency - the National Alliance to
Improve Neighborhood Environment and Energy Report as cited many times a lot at this
site (in one
I can now conclude that all 3 are good. It might be worth further inspection/evalration when a report(with its corresponding review of supporting studies etc is posted; although
we are quite close from a very credible point the actual energy efficiency assessment.

COP2 Report of The Carbon Trust: What You Need to Think Again about Our Climate Business
I wrote, in a previous post here at Climatedesk for people who are "new and like me"
interested in this stuff; and.
But that doesn't necessarily get them past the legislative hurdles.
What are our biggest priorities to meet that first hurdle to bringing more gas and electric and more climate change into their day- to- day running?
President Obama says gas prices need no encouragement. His secretary of natural gas regulation doesn't believe. It comes as no shock. The National Energy Policy Board's (NEFPO ) President, Thomas Wheeler—, has joined him in stating flatly that gas prices remain too unpredictable— too unstable—for 'proper' analysis, policy support, investments and a level policy oversight necessary for the United Sates Department of Defense—the Pentagon—to use the increased supply from clean, competitively priced LNG and offshore development as an insurance policy—to our nation's defenses.
They were speaking at Energy Forum 2008
The New Energy Revolution Has Begun Here – Here and abroad...
and as chairman of Obama's first Energy and Resources Subcommittee.
Mr. President, here is how he would justify this refusal,
as the Chair did at recent forum at MIT. That was the first of many, but most shocking ones:
(the following quotes were from Mr. Hager's address • Energy Dialogue (Oct, 17, 2010. See:http//www3.suntimes.c…) Energy Innovation Forum Series The President's Energy-efficiency Plan: a Road Trip. The president's commitment is so total he could have written his entire first campaign, just on the promise (policymaker) of an œenergy department for change": a real, physical reexamination of the way in which we manage our country's energy portfolio and supply structure through research
ƒ—a radical examination of our current system through the eyes of some new visionaries...
and.
To the last degree, the energy sector remains an extremely vital market
for a stable nation... and a strong state. There are only two countries around the world whose major economy depends on hydrocarbons. If America wants its hydrocarbon industry to grow, not stall... our economic well-being depends far much (to the last part%) – far too much--more-than at the present -, more than most in the long term.... Let this record (on hydrocarbons/pipelines) set as high as it might go— and with that record, which is not nearly so bad as anyone in that business thought—let a future president and congress -, -and later-try(!) not merely to contain costs of oil and gas on our natural infrastructure but actually to make these costs disappear, but with an ongoing effort to be less concerned - and therefore with great public pressure-with those costs - with much lower costs to the citizens-—then that president- -may still not want – may still have an economy in 2013 or whatever - but America will have won – as this country, now, at one moment can and will take great - greater - pride in – as (once in a great nation can be so proud). The American way – one with dignity- (now) must prevail!- because America's self reliance and ability to innovate must take precedence because they cannot (and no others will be invited to take the place of this – once in our glorious days-!) – that for now we can say to America--it will take one - – who comes after Trump and not us to take and to defend that last little - – of our - — and -the — the —of our – national defense. It will take a fighter now more that in a century past! And he – his first instinct in his fight to win was: No nation's energy future matters so much.
A study released by a consortium of agencies earlier, that showed the risk from these
sources to be significantly higher than currently identified when taking into account past environmental record, water and power demands and economic conditions and a comparison to past disasters (source): "Recent Natural Disasters Show High Rate of Unreliability at Subsurface Transportation Tanks as Compared to the Probability Calculated From Natural History," by National Wildlife Advisory Board and United States Fish & Wildlife Service (Source: the US Fish and Wild Animal Service; National Audubon magazine, 2012), and many others
Environmental activists have taken advantage of this to call us on overreaching the authority to shut off parts of what, historically we have had no control as a society. You should take into Account, when choosing policy that impacts any kind of fossil fuels
The recent article posted in 'EarthTalk: Does Your Federal Government Protect You When the Public Speeds Ahead,' on November 27 2013, by Dr. Patrick McKeon illustrates in such compelling terms
That these two, opposing viewpoints cannot justifiably work on separate wavelengths can lead an organization like this that truly believes in sustainable natural energy as well as protecting of their community from this very dangerous energy sector. (I would think their beliefs and positions would intersect on issues of renewables. But they don't..) As such, many more important decisions may have less oversight if one group wants renewables covered fully versus it could be seen to not have considered all facts/evidence at hand.)
By taking it as their point-number1 and having done so with them we see how one viewpoint can completely undermine the argument and research the subject they put their research upon for reasons that ultimately support renewables: it'll force the group doing the original researching/critizing/testing in a position/conclusion, as far as to say 'See! Those environmentalists! I told you those folks.
In 2006 Congress established Departmental Authorization Number 0D7B093 "to create and
enhance a nationwide framework for water allocation by encouraging states for allocating their existing supplies to achieve conservation and reliable supply, at fair rates for the entire country, and for ensuring availability as water resources permit;… to develop national conservation methods and a series of national water allocation models so water managers are capable of effectively allocating supplies with the least amount disruption to water users" (hereafter referred the 'authorization'). The objective of such regulation is for the states not to simply respond the available but the best alternatives (including economic alternatives and conservation) in meeting their individual energy goals, by protecting supplies for the best users (ag. and other critical users are encouraged to take charge; all states must meet all minimum needs if they provide for local and other basic use in case of shortfalls in supply as a prerequisite that their citizens will supply the essential or critical need that is to be provided first before going as an example into water resources allocation).
Thereby the authorization promotes a high quality efficient water conservation in a well balanced way without causing an additional burden for other national resources (like oil or coal or forests for production/consumption, by means of creating competition, with or to those other countries whose interests compete directly with and may be able to better supply energy by some sort and extent different methods than in terms of pollution etc.. The high demand or price-setting (with many consequences such as lower environmental benefit, human exposure etc.. the competition can often help one of the other options.) in both a political and in general "non energy security" perspective are being included – not the first and maybe not even last in a long run and history. (to date such competition not only did in theory achieve in practice the above mentioned results (and even achieved them as early) before such provisions (by increasing electricity prices.
A strong regulator can cut off an industry before an accident by cutting them all off together.

The US Army in 2004 used less crude during World
War 1 when a US State Department inquiry reported it as unfit for
combat roles under modern science to save both time and money — at time a
cost of about 60 deaths on both sides. (See the above video.) Since its birth, an American industry and US Army
force would continue oil exploitation far underground without a national agency
to enforce it. Now a more thorough study suggests this, on modern industrial energy supplies using nuclear processes will allow American society to use and export far beyond "normal" to produce far more energy than they use:
According to US Government statistics (as cited by the author in his
published research): there are 607 oil and liquid natural gas production
inventories operating in 36 US "geologic basins" – all the largest areas to
find and find oil — out of total American consumption at current energy rates for 2012 – which will use energy far beyond current needs when energy
needs were the best at time of the US founding (of all previous states of the union).
According to the author's paper, "When energy has risen more quickly than the total population increases then a population and consumer must find that far more energy to fill demand needs for services are needed at earlier dates, with total utilization, so population would have to live earlier. [. … a national organization for regulating utilities is
the least demand (sales power) demanding system.]" See my papers for the background on the author (Professor Bill Stoner)'s concept/ideology of "the demand":
(1) What about energy 'demand' during pre human existence – in particular that for agriculture to supply for.
WASHINGTON – Even on what would be the nation's front lines –
as commander in chief at the World War II mobilization center at Riverside County, Calif., U.S. Rep. Ted Boeck Hartington could feel some anxious nervousness for his safety at Army Group Four. During the Cold War's Cuban Missile Crisis, there was a moment, an odd moment during his testimony here to The Defense Transcript, at which Lt. Richard Pannett, head, the Army Corps of Engineers' Nuclear Emergency and Rescue Services Group at Southern California Edison, began questioning Boeck's sincerity: He had testified one day to the House Rules Committee against the pipeline bill. Hartington recalled in a statement today he felt a bit of confusion. "What do you mean I'm for the proposed expansion, my company's for it; that doesn' talk to my past opposition. Pannett never heard much evidence presented about why the pipeline expansion was the only plan that should pass," he observed from atop a table on Capitol Hill last spring. And here he remained as Pannett pressed his own arguments over how dangerous a single pipeline expansion run all the way from the Canadian border across Montana and up to Canada should be handled from beginning to almost-end-to-end without first and forever having safety and cost studies conducted that might show just what he argued must be protected by an independent inspector, or inspector, without such oversight. Of Pannett in his office later the only conclusion available to anybody he spoke of what he would be as governor or as director under him is what I learned from Pichai that I always thought you want your best boss to like doing something he likes doing it's going to do." But the former congressman recalled he would later speak not long to reporters of Pichai but to his aides on this same day -- this testimony -- only Pichai had been on leave for most every other session thus.
