		<description><![CDATA[Gazprom, Russia&#8217;s gas export monopoly, expects both of its controversial new pipelines, Nord Stream and South Stream, to start construction this year.
After all Gazprom&#8217;s troubles during the downturn, and delays to high-profile gas production projects, to be pushing ahead with these plans might seem an expensive waste of time.
Weak European demand and rising production of US shale gas and middle eastern LNG, creating a global &#8220;gas glut&#8221;, have driven down prices and raised questions about whether either pipeline is really needed.
Those questions are, however, based on a false premise.
The real issue is whether the pipelines still make strategic sense for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Optimists in the clean energy sector would have us believe that despite the largely disappointing outcome of Copenhagen and worldwide emissions growing apace, there is a kind of unassailable momentum towards

There's some evidence for this argument, it's mostly limited to developed countries, where many key types of energy demand are peaking anyway.

For example: a couple of weeks ago we looked at a report about the death of US coal. The news flow since then on coal has yielded quite a few arguments in favour of the optimistic line. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our post about Tony Hayward's comments on 'peak demand' attracted some good comments. A reply comment began to get a bit long, so here it is as a post:

Firstly, audio of the Hayward interview is now online here. There are some other interesting comments that weren't picked up in the print reports, including the world's ability - and particularly China and India's - to handle high oil prices. 

A few commenters raised the contrast or similarity between 'peak demand' and 'peak supply'. Without wanting to stir the pot too much, the demand/supply dichotomy can be seen as just  a matter of semantics - or a matter of disciplines. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're bored with West African and Brazilian sub-salt oil frontiers, Bernstein Research looks at two 'high-risk, high-reward' oil plays for this year: Greenland and the Falkland Islands.

The two have some striking similarities, despite being almost at opposite ends of the globe. Cairn Energy will be drilling prospects in the Baffin Bay Basin off West Greenland, while Rockhopper and Desire Petroleum are drilling off the Falklands. Both areas have yielded six non-commercial discoveries in the past, and have 'surprisingly benign' drilling conditions. Cairn Energy is spending $300m on a rig off Greenland while Rockhopper/Desire are spending $80m. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's puzzling to many observers why political support for international environmental measures lags so far behind the apparent popular support in each country.

But a new paper finds that over-representation of regional voters can make a significant difference to public policy on both gasoline taxes and international climate change agreements.

This is what they found when correlating the malapportionment of votes to the length of time ratifying the Kyoto Protocol:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The FT's Tony Jackson chronicles some of the problems faced by the carbon market recently and concludes the whole system could be at risk - news that would of course be welcomed by some.  

Carbon prices may have stabilised after the fallout from Copenhagen, he writes, but those hopes for a dramatic increase in the scale of the total global emissions trading has taken a blow in recent months, from Copenhagen and also from faltering efforts in the US. 

Meanwhile, investment in the Clean Development Mechanism - offset projects that create credits that can be substituted for allowances - has fallen, as have low-carbon investments. ]]></description>
