The U.S. Energy Department releases its long-term market report

Posted June 26th, 2008 by Sandy Young

The U.S. Energy Department has released its Annual Energy Outlook 2008 report with projections to 2030 this week. The following excerpt is under the title, Oil Production:

There is considerable uncertainty surrounding the future of unconventional crude oil production in the United States. Environmental regulations could either preclude unconventional production or raise its cost significantly. If future U.S. laws limited and/or taxed greenhouse gas emissions, they could lead to substantial increases in the costs of unconventional production, which emits significant volumes of CO2. Restrictions on access to water also could prove costly, especially in the arid West. In addition, environmental restrictions on land use could preclude unconventional oil production in some areas of the United States.

Today, Jim Jelter of Marketwatch covers the reports in his column. He says:

The Energy Department reasons that much of the supply tightness currently gripping the market, whether real or imagined, is likely to ease as major new oil fields come on line in Brazil, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia and even here in North America. That would signal a fundamental shift in the supply-demand picture, even though output would need to increase by about 12 million barrels a day -- over half the 20 million barrels of oil the U.S. currently burns in a day -- to keep pace with global demand.

Investors have a choice in the weeks and months ahead. They can either pay attention to underlying fundamentals in the marketplace or, like Macbeth, they can continue to listen to witches playing on their innermost fears and succumb to madness. Click here to read more from Marketwatch.

Financial Success is Possible......

Financial success is possible, even in inevitable for people who work hard and making proper and right decisions. Essential to financial success in the modern world, for good or ill is building credit. A payday loan is one of the few, and they are few, financial services that do not require a credit check. That said, most other financial services do, and the credit bureau that they go to, or combination of them, reports your credit score to them. What a credit bureau does is they compile all the information that would pertain to your credit, like what accounts you have open, what late payments you've made, balances – they also report your employment information, car insurance, you name it. Once the information is compiled, they run it through a mathematical algorithm that determines your score, which may mean that you do not have good credit, but they report that score to the agency that requested it. What gets looked at in determining your score is astounding.
