State Companies See Big Gains Ahead Tackling Greenhouse Gases

By Thomas Content, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Oct. 7--Sixth part in an occasional series

What's good for the planet, it turns out, could be great for Wisconsin's largest company.

Energy experts with Glendale-based Johnson Controls Inc. are busy crafting their first proposal aimed at winning a piece of an ambitious $5 billion plan to reduce global warming by retrofitting energy-wasting buildings in 16 of the world's largest cities.

 Natural Gas Loses Stride

September 28, 2007

The natural gas sector has lost its stride. A decade and a half ago, the industry was hot. Now, its product is considered expensive and untenable. The fix is easy, say producers. They want more access to deep waters offshore and in the Rocky Mountains.

When the Clean Air Act of 1990 passed, natural gas was labeled the "fuel of choice." As such, its prospects soared -- upwards of 50 percent over 20 years. In effect, current consumption of about 23 trillion cubic feet (tcf) a year was supposed to rise to 34 tcf by 2020. But when policymakers enacted that 1990 law, they didn't make amends for the fact that nearly one-third of all land in the United States is federally controlled and that the government owns those resources that lay beneath it.

 Wal-Mart to Track Supply Chain Energy Use

Wal-Mart will measure the amount of energy used to create products throughout its supply chain, including the procurement, manufacturing and distribution process. The retailer is initiating a pilot with a group of suppliers to look for new ways to make its entire supply chain more energy efficient.

The pilot will focus on seven product categories - DVD's, toothpaste, soap, milk, beer, vacuum cleaners and soda - to determine the overall environmental impact of products. Some of these products are already part of Wal-Mart's Live Better Index, which serves as a measurement of consumer attitudes and shopping behaviors related to green issues.

 Investing in Gas Pipelines

September 26, 2007

Winning permission to build natural gas pipelines is a tough job. It's designed that way. And while it is an inclusive process, it is not intended to be an impossible one. Success means being open and flexible and able to anticipate future needs.

Natural gas demand is expected to climb 12 percent over the next decade. More pipelines must therefore be constructed and new development could be lucrative with prices in the $6 to $8 per million BTUs. But, the quandary facing pipeline developers is that natural gas producers are complaining that they are not getting access to gas-rich areas. That makes it impossible to take a proactive position and start laying additional pipelines.
