OIL OpZ & NewZ
Since about 1997, a meme has been travelling through the Internet that by somehow not buying gas on a certain day, the oil companies will somehow lower the prices. Called the "Great Gas Out" the idea is a one day boycott of gasoline. Actually, it isn't even a boycott, because a boycott means you stop using the product . Unfortunately, most of us can't stop using gasoline. With the Great Gas Out, the idea is to not buy gas on a certain day (March 14, 2011), and the proponents keep claiming that it "worked." The reality is that in the long view, it hasn't worked.
Could the "Great Gas Out" actually work? Maybe, but only in the short term. | FuelTracker

Fractional Distillation slide : When animation adds to the message Looking back over the many years of creating custom templates and slides I have learned the following : take the time to understand the content. It is seeking to be understood. A proven method : reduce the stress of reading text and strive to use images to convey the message.Physlet Quantum Physics by Belloni, Christian, and Cox: Section 4.5
J. J. Thomson's experiment ( Section 4.4 ) resulted in a value for e / m (the ratio of the charge of the electron to the mass of the electron), but it took the Millikan's oil drop experiment to determine the value of the charge on the electron. This animation is a virtual version of the Millikan's experiment. 3 The experiment was based on balancing forces: the gravitational pull down on an oil drop and the electric force up on ionized particles. Below is a schematic of the apparatus.

OPEC recognises NTC as Libya representative - Africa
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has recognised the National Transitional Council as Libya's representative. The OPEC's recognition came after the United Nations approved a Libyan request to accredit envoys of the country's interim government as Tripoli's sole representatives at the world body on Friday. "OPEC will recognise the NTC ... and they will sit in the same chair," Abdullah al-Badri, OPEC's secretary-general, told the Gulf Intelligence energy forum in Dubai on Monday.Published: Friday 30 September 2011 Contrary to the lurid predictions of declining U.S. oil production, disastrous dependence on foreign oil, and the need for new offshore drilling, the big crisis for the U.S. oil companies can be summed up in a single word that drives an oil executive to panic: glut. Resize Text + | - | R I've never believed in "peak oil." (The notion held with religious conviction by many on the left here, that world production is topping out — and will soon slide, plunging the world into economic chaos.) There's plenty of oil, with the constraints, as always, being the cost of recovery.
‘Peak Oil’ Takes A Deadly Blow

If you were to choose a route through which to move toxic, highly corrosive, sludgy crude oil, would you place it on the same narrow corridor used by one of the world's most endangered birds? The Canadian energy company TransCanada did and the Obama administration is on the verge of approving that absurd proposal. Migration Pathway -- From the US Fish & Wildlife Service If approved by the administration, the Keystone XL tar-sands pipeline will move a half million+ barrels daily of Canadian crude 1,700 miles from Alberta, Canada to the Texas coast as soon as 2013. TransCanada would like the world to believe that their pipeline is relatively safe, claiming just one predicted spill in the first 7 years. Yet, TransCanada's existing Keystone Pipeline has experienced 12 spills -- in just 12 months of operation.TransCanada Corporation is a major North American energy company based in Calgary, Alberta , developing and operating energy infrastructure in North America. Its pipeline network includes approximately 59,000 kilometres (36,661 miles) of pipeline and connects with virtually all major gas supply basins in North America . TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage and related services with approximately 355 billion cubic feet (1.01 × 10 10 m 3 ) of storage capacity. TransCanada also owns, or has interests in, approximately 10,800 megawatts of power generation. [ 2 ]
