WORLD ENERGY FEATURED ARTICLES:

Three Myths and Three Realities
Dr. Tony Hayward
Group Chief Executive
BP p.l.c.

The speculation myth, the hydrocarbon myth and the low-carbon-now myth: these are three examples of commonly held arguments that work against the interests of the energy industry. The author seeks to replace these myths with real-world issues that should be addressed instead, including reversing the manpower shortage and creating a stable fiscal and regulatory environment.

The New Consensus
David J. O’Reilly
Chairman and CEO
Chevron Corporation

The author notes the urgency of addressing energy security today – a concern he calls a “new consensus” among Americans – but also expresses optimism that the nation’s energy system will improve through such measures as energy efficiency, the further development of domestic supplies and environmental stewardship. He also presents his “new energy equation” to address the reasons for high oil prices now and into the future.

Avoid the Energy Myths and Diversify
Thomas F. Farrell II
Chairman, President and CEO
Dominion

As consumers continue to face many challenges in today’s energy climate, the CEO of a leading energy producer suggests that diversification is always a welcome strategy. He identifies four myths that the media and politicians help strengthen and urges the development of sound programs to achieve a clean, secure energy future.

Natural Gas: Today’s Choice for a Better Tomorrow
David McClanahan
President and CEO, CenterPoint Energy
2008 Chairman, American Gas Association

In a recap of the strides made by AGA in 2008, the author asserts the role of the natural gas industry in addressing climate change through five main priorities: increasing supply, encouraging conservation and efficiency, increasing affordability, supporting innovative rate design and improving outreach for investment in the industry. By addressing these priorities the energy industry can look to natural gas as the bridge fuel as it solves the larger issues of climate change and future energy supply.
