	Energy changing its manifestation	Open file 13158
	As a ball falls freely under the influence of gravity, it accelerates downward, its initial potential energy converting into kinetic energy. On impact with a hard surface the ball deforms, converting the kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. As the ball springs back, the energy converts back firstly to kinetic energy and then as the ball re-gains height into potential energy. Energy conversion to heat due to inelastic deformation and air resistance cause each successive bounce to be lower than the last.	Open file 13158

	Member Companies of the OGCI About the Oil and Gas Climate initiative ... The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative is designed to catalyze practical action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is led by the heads of 10 oil and gas companies that aim to lead the industry response to climate change, OGCI member companies – BP, CNPC, Eni, Pemex, Reliance Industries, Repsol, Saudi Aramco, Shell, Statoil and Total which together represent one fifth of the world’s oil and gas production. The OGCI was established following discussions during the 2014 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, and was officially launched at the UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit in New York in September 2014. Noticably missing from this multi-company climate initiative are the big American companies like Exxon-Mobil, Chevron		Open external link to learn more about OGCI

ENERGY DARWINISM ... The Evolution of the Energy Industry Citi-GPS-Energy-Darwinism-2013-OKO7 The global energy industry has been transformed in the last five years in ways and to an extent that few would have thought credible. The emergence of shale gas has transformed the U.S. energy market while Germany has seen some gas-fired power stations running for less than 10 days a year due to the impact of solar leading utility owners to issue profit warnings. Developed markets now spend more on renewable capital expenditures than they do on conventional generation, largely due to uncertainty over commodity pricing and likely future utilisation rates, while the legacy of Fukushima has seen Japan burning gas at $16-17/mmbtu while the U.S. basks in $3 shale, driving the introduction of the world’s most attractive solar subsidy scheme and catapulting Japan to be the world’s second largest solar market. Conversely, the intermittency of renewables has led to the greater demand for the flexibility of gas-fired power plants in some markets 'http://truevaluemetrics.org/DBpdfs/Energy/CitiGroup/Citi-GPS-Energy-Darwinism-2013-OKO7.pdf'

US crude oil imports US imports of crude oil expanded rapidly in the 1970s. The likely cause of this was the profit potential of crude oil resources all over the world resulting from the OPEC driven cartelization of oil prices and the race by the major oil companies (including those based in the United States) to gain market share in the new world global oil order. Imports declined in the late 1970s early 1980s as the economy in the US deteriorated, but then increased again as the US economy started to grow and Americans became accustomed to a higher price regime for gasoline. Post 2000, imports of crude oil have declined. Part of this is due to the increased production of natural gas and domestic crude oil as a result of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) which has the potential to make the US independed of imported energy.

	Solar Roadways
	Venkatraman Venkitachalam ... Director at EFENP / Automation P Ltd / 170103 World’s first ‘solar panel road’ opens in France at Tourouvre-au-Perche in Normandy. The 1 KM road could generate enough electricity to power the street lights. The panels have been covered in a silicon-based resin that allows them to withstand the weight of passing big rigs. As per Colas France could become energy independent by paving only a quarter of its million KMs of roads. Solar panels have become increasingly popular in recent years as cost of operating them has come down significantly, making it cost competitive with traditional energy sources. show less TPB question: What is the energy required to produce the solar pavement? How long does it take for this amount of energy to be generated by the pavement?

The supply of energy to the “south” is poor and a constraint, while raw energy sources in the “south” are tremendously rich and exploited almost totally for foreign benefit and some small local elite.
