Orchestrating the Natural Gas Revolution
Orchestrating the Natural Gas Revolution
Robert Gee, EnergyBiz
THE SURGE OF NATURAL GAS made available through advanced exploration and production technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling has been heralded as a potential game changer in providing an abundant resource to address our country's future energy demand. Seemingly a fortnight ago, conventional wisdom had the United States relying on greater imports of liquefied natural gas. Today, the outlook is reversed, with qualified support for exporting the commodity, assuming production is sufficient for domestic needs.

France's nuclear safety authority, ASN, unveiled a report containing several recommendations to enhance security at the country's nuclear plants in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan. All facilities need to be equipped with "hard-core" compounds and invest in technical skills and human resources, according to the report. The Japan incident "reminded us that, despite all precautions, the possibility of an accident can never be excluded," said André-Claude Lacoste, director of ASN.

Experts predict sharp cuts in GDF Suez's nuclear energy business as France's nuclear market weakens and as Belgium curbs its dependence on nuclear power. "My view is that GDF Suez will continue to manage its power stations in Belgium [until 2025] but that it will choose other energy forms [elsewhere]," said Paris Dauphine University professor Jean-Marie Chevalier. GDF Suez obtained 10% of its total energy generation from nuclear in 2011, down from 13% in 2010. Reuters (6/28)

Attorneys with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission agree with a petition filed by environmental groups seeking to delay the licensing and license extensions for nuclear plants. The petition, which would affect NextEra Energy's Seabrook facility in New Hampshire, earned the support of 12 Nuclear Regulatory Commission lawyers. The Nuclear Energy Institute said in filings that the petition is not necessary and that the NRC's waste storage environmental analysis should be addressed in a formal rulemaking. NEI also said the petition's proposed 60-day waiting period was not warranted. EENews.net (subscription required) (6/28), SeacoastOnline (Portsmouth, N.H.)
