No gas for you
Imagine calling the gas company and being told there is no gas available for your building.
This is exactly what is happening with Con Edison in a suburb north of New York City.
Con Edison, the region’s main utility, says its existing network of pipelines cannot satisfy an increasing demand for the fuel.
There is an ample supply of natural gas in the United States but according to industry officials, opposition to building or expanding interstate pipelines has caused delivery challenges in the Northeast. Two counties in western Massachusetts have had a moratorium on new gas hookups since 2014.
Some believe this is a stunt by Con Ed to cause New York State to approve some pipeline expansion; if so, they could face serious consequences.

DOE EIA Weekly Gas Storage Report
Working gas in storage was 1,155 Bcf as of Friday, April 5, 2019, according to EIA estimates.
This represents a net increase of 25 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 183 Bcf less than last year at this time and 485 Bcf below the five-year average of 1,640 Bcf. At 1,155 Bcf, total working gas is within the five-year historical range.
Smart technologies transforming your next appliance
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado is researching how “smart energy technologies” will be incorporated into washing machines, microwaves, coffee pots, refrigerators and every other home appliance.
This is another example of a National Laboratory evaluating technologies in order to advise policy makers on requirements of the next generation of appliances.
Of course the industry and ultimately the consumer will have their say but, having an independent agency evaluate technology will help its deployment and use.

Where are the world’s BILLIONAIRES investing?
Three of the richest people on the planet (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma) along with other investors are pouring billions into clean-tech energy ventures.
As retirements of existing coal plants continue and funding for gas-fired energy declines, breakthrough technologies that will power the next energy revolution are being built.
Investment in all sorts of energy technology is rapidly advancing and investors are devoting billions to further advancements.
Consider the following:
- Investment in coal and gas-fired power generation has experienced a second year of declines.
- Renewable energy will surpass coal-based energy by 2030.
- More money has been invested in energy transmission and storage technology in the last 5 years than was invested in the previous 30 years.
The current pattern is following the history of Governments requiring divestiture away from fossil fuels if followed by lots of investment in various technologies. This will identify the most promising followed by the largest institutional investments.
The future will certainly bring challenges and technology will attempt to offer solutions.

GE’s huge 12-megawatt wind turbine, welcome
Standing over 85 stories high (850 feet above the ground) and generating enough power to supply 15,000 homes; the world’s largest wind turbine is being installed by GE.
Designed for offshore (think a couple miles off the coast in the ocean) installation, this will be the first of its kind. GE is projecting that thousands will be installed within the next 5 years.
GE’s design and engineering prowess should be highlighted and applauded as they bring this machine to market. It has the ability to transform energy supply globally.
