Venezuela nears end of the road for gasoline subsidy
2014-01-27 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Gasoline is so dirt-cheap in Venezuela that the comparison undervalues dirt. Or, for that matter, almost any thing else Venezuelan drivers can think of. "It's cheaper than water," said one motorist, pointing out that bottled water costs far more than the 95-octane gasoline gushing into his Ford Explorer. "Cheaper than air," said the driver of a Chevy Tahoe, after paying more to fill a tyre than the tank. "The cheapest in the world," a third sport utility vehicle (SUV) owner boasted. "We could...

2014-01-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MPBN: Over the next six years, Mainers and other motorists around the Northeast can expect to be filling up their gas tanks with gas that is increasingly derived from Canadian tar sands oil. That's according to a new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, which says the carbon intensive extraction and refining process for tar sands runs counter to many states' plans to cut carbon pollution, the major driver of climate change. Susan Sharon has more. According to the report, extracting and refining...

Petrochemical alchemy: Cheap gasoline and plastics, produced from cheap and abundant natural gas, is almost here
2014-01-15 15:12:23| Extremetech
Siluria, after five years of research, seems to have finally stumbled across a cheap method of converting natural gas into gasoline. Because natural gas is much more abundant and less in demand than crude oil, it's only one fifth of the price -- about $20 for the natural gas equivalent of a $100 barrel of crude. After Siluria's conversion process, it may be possible to halve the price of gasoline and other oil-derived products (commodity chemicals, plastics). The best bit: Due to Siluria's rather unique research methods, it has no idea why or how its process works -- only that it appears to work rather well.
