Falling oil prices endanger alternative sources

Energy prices resembled a roller coaster this year, clambering to record heights only to hurtle back toward earth at an alarming speed.

Expect a smoother ride in 2009, industry experts say. Gasoline could hug $1.50 a gallon. Crude oil, once thought to reach $200 a barrel, could stay well below $50.

The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression has lessened the demand for fossil fuels around the world. Americans are driving fewer miles, while growing economic powers such as China and India have begun to stop gorging on petroleum.

Along with the drop in demand was the removal of investment dollars from the commodity markets. That should limit how much oil and gasoline prices can swing, since hedge funds and banks can no longer borrow money at low rates to speculate on energy.

"We're not going to see the kinds of spikes we've seen in the past," Alaron Trading Corp. analyst Phil Flynn said. "The days of [borrowing] easy money are over."

When oil hit a record $147 a barrel in July, legislators claimed speculators were the culprits. What the investment dollars linked to speculators did was increase the volatility of the prices, such that the price of a barrel of oil could move by more than $110 in just six months, Flynn said.

What mainly drove up oil and gasoline prices were supply and demand, the same basic forces that have caused the fuels to plunge in value since the summer.

Up until a worldwide economic implosion, the markets assumed that demand for oil from ascendant countries such as China and India would outstrip supply from aging fields in the Arabian Peninsula.

During the first half of 2006, global daily demand for oil increased by an average of 500,000 barrels, to roughly 86 million barrels, according to Goldman Sachs.

Demand fell during the next six months to a year-over-year decline of 1 million barrels a day. Goldman Sachs forecasts an additional average decline in demand of 2 million barrels a day in the first half of 2009.

"It's quite clear that emerging-country demand growth will lose a lot of momentum and even grind to a halt," said Antoine Halff, head of commodities research at the Newedge USA LLC global brokerage.

The economic situation is so dire that oil prices fell almost 28 percent in the three days after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced it would trim total daily output by 4.2 million barrels at the start of next year.

The consensus among analysts is that oil will stay between $25 and $50 a barrel. Gasoline could hit $1 a gallon, according to Flynn.

Those prices rearrange an entire energy sector, possibly halting a shift toward renewable sources. Profit margins for wind turbines shrink when oil falls below $70, according to German manufacturer Siemens.

And no new biofuel can compete against $1-a-gallon gasoline, according to cellulosic ethanol-maker Coskata in Warrenville.

The difficulties in the private sector shift more of the burden for developing alternative energy onto the government. It will take government incentives to move Americans away from petroleum, shielding them from prices that eventually will rebound, said Rebecca Stanfield, a senior energy advocate for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

"We should be preparing for more expensive gasoline," Stanfield said. "People are smart enough to know that it will happen again and that what the government can do for us is not control the price of oil but lessen our dependence on oil."

The current low prices also affect the foreign governments funded by their oil reserves. Some countries have a single-digit cost for extracting oil, making it easier for them to weather prolonged drops in prices.

Falling prices permanently could undermine governments in Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran, potentially cutting back supplies and causing prices to increase.

"With less money to go around, it's unclear whether those countries will be stable enough to not cause a supply disruption," Halff said. "Those political regimes have bet their survival on a high degree of social spending."

Save energy, save the economy

The country may spend $30 billion on conservation in the coming year, but will that put people back to work?

By Steve Hargreaves, CNNMoney.com staff writer

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It looks like America may be getting a whole lot more energy efficient as part of any new stimulus plan.

But how exactly will that happen? While new light bulbs, insulation and air conditioners may play well with homeowners, will they actually put enough people to work to jumpstart the economy?

The energy-saving plan is expected as part of a stimulus package from lawmakers set for early January that could top $800 billion and include everything from tax breaks to road repairs.

Conservation is thought to be the first big energy component of President-elect Barack Obama's long-term energy plan, for a couple of reasons.

First, it can be done relatively quickly using existing state and regional agencies.

Conservation is also essential if the country is to switch to cleaner, more renewable forms of electricity, since they can't currently provide the sheer megawatts that fossil fuel or nuclear power can produce.

If a major conservation initiative is included in the stimulus package, it might look something like a plan being pushed by the electric utility industry and a handful of environmental groups.

Breaking down how the money is spent

Under that plan, the government would commit just over $30 billion toward making the nation energy efficient. The money would be spent as follows:

-- $3 billion for home energy retrofits, which could include rebate checks for people who buy energy-efficient appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators.

-- $3 billion for energy retrofits at public buildings, which may include hiring people to conduct energy audits and install so-called "smart-meters" that more efficiently allocate power.

-- $3 billion to promote energy efficiency in commercial buildings, largely in the form of tax breaks for developers who build them.

-- $3 billion for efficiency projects at schools.

-- $3.5 billion to expand current state energy-efficiency programs.

-- $5 billion more for states that pass stricter building-efficiency standards and restructure their utility conservation incentives.

-- $6 billion for local governments to make power plants and transportation networks more efficient.

-- $4 billion for things that include construction of a better electric grid, efficiency at military institutions, workforce training, additional smart meters and an expansion of the weatherization program to better insulate homes.

In the interest of time, no new agencies are planned. Instead, the money would likely be administered by existing agencies, be they state, federal or regional, or utilities with strong conservation departments.

All told, the program might drop the country's energy consumption by half a percent each year for 20 years. While that doesn't sound like much, with the U.S. spending over $1 trillion on energy each year, the savings could top $5 billion a year, or over $100 billion in all.

"An economic recovery bill that includes significant investments in energy efficiency will not only create jobs immediately, but also and more importantly will bring American ingenuity and its 'can-do' spirit to a new, clean and sustainable energy future," said Kateri Callahan, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, when announcing the program last week.

Fine, but is it stimulating?

There's little doubt energy efficiency is something the country should invest in, and there's little doubt it will save energy.

But should we borrow money for it and include it in a stimulus bill - a bill that's designed to create jobs and get the economy back on track?

Plenty of people say yes.

The Alliance estimates their plan will directly create 190,000 jobs in short order.

The Associated General Contractors of America backs the plan, saying every $1 billion spent on infrastructure - energy efficiency included - nearly 30,000 jobs are created.

"Clearly, it will put construction workers back to work and put money in the economy," said Brian Turmail, a spokesman for the contractors' association. "This is a tremendous opportunity."

But others see it as little more than a tremendous opportunity for waste.

"How on earth can this thing be administered without generating a lot of waste," Rudolph Penner, a senior fellow at the think tank the Urban Institute, said of the stimulus plan.

Beyond the potential for waste, critics generally argue that it takes too long for the projects to start up to have the desired effect, and that the economics simply don't make sense.

Once the projects get going, they also say the projects are hard to stop and can then contribute to inflation, not to mention a ballooning debt once the economy recovers

On the energy part specifically, Penner said it would be hard to calculate who was conserving because of the incentive, and who would normally have spent money to conserve anyway.

"Some people would choose to insulate their homes anyway," he said. "For them, this would just be a windfall."

Amazon Claims ‘Best Ever’ Christmas (Whatever That Means)

For retailers, the holiday shopping season was the worst in decades. Even so, Amazon.com said Friday that it had its “best ever” holiday.

On Amazon’s peak day, Dec. 15, customers ordered a record 6.3 million items, or almost 73 items each second, the company said. Last year, the peak day was Dec. 10, when customers ordered 5.4 million items.

Amazon’s press release has all sorts of entertaining factoids: the weight of all GPS devices it sold from Black Friday through December equals the combined weight of 151 Mini Coopers; it sold enough “Breaking Dawn” books that, if stacked end to end, they would reach the summit of Mount Everest eight times; and its top sellers in electronics included a 52-inch Samsung LCD HDTV and the eight-gigabyte Apple iPod Touch.

But the numbers do little to tell us how good (or bad) Amazon’s season really was. The company didn’t disclose whether shoppers bought more or fewer high-priced items than in previous years or whether discounts ate into profit margins. It didn’t disclose revenue or even the total volume of products it shipped throughout the holiday season.

What’s more, as consumers do more and more of their shopping online, where Amazon is the leading retailer, a “record” season at Amazon is hardly surprising. Amazon has claimed that its holidays were the “best ever” or “busiest ever” every year since at least 2002.

As Douglas Anmuth, an analyst at Barclays Capital, said in a note to investors early Friday: “AMZN’s announcement this A.M. that it posted another record holiday season should not come as a surprise given the ongoing secular shift toward e-comm., along w/ AMZN’s continued mkt share gains, but it appears likely to move the stock some in the N-T [near-term] given the lack of positive retail news flow & thin overall trading.”

The near-term stock gain did materialize, but it was short-lived. After the opening, Amazon shares traded as high as $53.95, a nearly 5 percent gain from their pre-Christmas close of $51.44. But shares slid throughout the day and closed at $51.78, up just 0.66 percent.
