Faces In The News
Oil Broker Hit By Rogue Trader

Javier Espinoza, 07.02.09, 01:45 PM EDT
A rogue trader has allegedly struck a London oil broker, costing the firm $10 million.

LONDON -- An employee at an oil futures company in London has allegedly made unauthorized trades that cost the company almost $10 million, prompting fresh concerns on the security of financial trading and about oversight on various prop desks.

PVM Oil Futures Ltd said it had been a victim of unauthorized trading on Tuesday.
Article Controls

"As a result of a series of unauthorized trades, substantial volumes of futures contracts were held by PVM. When this was discovered, the positions were closed in an orderly fashion. PVM suffered a loss totaling a little under $10 million," the company said.

The company won't disclose the identity of the dealer citing legal reasons, but the trades were made during the quiet morning hours in London. The alleged rogue trader is still employed by the company but he or she has been suspended and the firm is considering legal action. The company continues operations and nobody else has left the company's employ since the unauthorized trading was revealed.

Both the London Brent and New York Nymex crude oil prices leaped by almost $2 a barrel to their highest point this year following the transactions. PVM will not say how much $10 million represents of its earnings but the company's website says it trades 100 million barrels a day over the counter as well as future trades.

Though the security breach prompted an investigation by the British financial authorities, city experts said it is almost impossible to regulate rogue traders. "You can never legislate on rouge traders. They will always find a way to hide mistakes or hide anything else that it's not legitimate," said Richard Crossley of Merchant Securites.

This is not the first time the city falls victim of rogue trading. In May, the FSA banned a former Morgan Stanley ( MS - news - people ) trader who built up a hefty unauthorized oil futures position following a long liquid lunch, before hiding the deals overnight.

American Solar Energy Society Director Says "Bar Is Set Too Low" HR2454 Action Alert

Solar, Wind, Bio, Energy News And Commentary By_Green Earl, 30 year Pioneer In Conservation & Solar Energy

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Brad Collins, ASES
Date: Wed, May 20, 2009 at 6:37 PM
Subject: Bar Set Too Low for House Energy Bill
To: john.bonitz@gmail.com


Dear ASES Supporter,

HR2454 (this is a 900 page PDF file), the American Clean Energy and
Security Act of 2009 misses the mark for several reasons.
Please help us by encouraging Congress to strengthen this bill.

Currently the United States Congress, under the leadership of Chairman
Henry Waxman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and Chairman
Edward Markey of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee, is working
on the details of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009
(ACES). ACES is promoted as a comprehensive approach to America's
energy policy. It charts a course towards a clean energy economy. The
American Solar Energy Society (ASES) commends the committees' work.
Unfortunately, the bill as rewritten misses the mark.

In compromising with competing interests and industries, the
committees have lowered their carbon-emission targets. They've
responded to interests that don't appreciate the crisis nature of
climate change. At this point, the partial solutions proposed will not
sufficiently mitigate atmospheric carbon nor establish significant
drivers for the clean energy economy. The bill coming out of committee
is too weak and has structural defects that require it be revisited.

ASES Policy Recommendations

The ASES Policy Committee spent months working through a series of
recommendations for the 111th Congress. (www.ases.org/policy2009).

We focused on:

· Energy efficiency for buildings;
· Renewable energy for buildings;
· Renewable electricity production;
· Transportation efficiency;
· Smart grid and green transmission;
· Green economy and workforce development;
· Federal leadership; and
· Carbon.

There are three areas where the American Solar Energy Society suggests
the bar needs to be raised:

1. In ACES, Waxman and Markey allocate 85% of the emission permits
free, mostly to carbon intensive industries, rather than including
them in an auction system. This give-away provides windfall profits
to the very polluters whom we want to rein in, and gives them a
competitive advantage over companies that have already cleaned up
their act. We want to encourage change, not provide an economic reward
for old business practices. If only 15% of permits are auctioned, only
15% of the expected revenue is available to grow the green economy and
aggressively develop low-carbon solutions to replace high-carbon
sources.

2. By 2020, ACES proposes to reduce CO2 17% below the 2005 level. ASES
policy recommendations target a 30% reduction by 2020. The difference
has real consequences for the climate. We need the more ambitious
target.

3. ACES proposes a 20% renewable energy standard (RES) by 2020 with
provision of up to 5% coming from efficiency. ASES suggests that this
is not ambitious enough. We call for 28% RES (with no efficiency
offset) and a 3% solar set-aside by 2020.

Cap-and-trade is meant to be a market-based system. To be effective,
its targets must be set high enough to move the market. Time is of the
essence. We must act now and we must act boldly. ACES, as now written,
is not ambitious enough to move markets. Indeed, giving emissions
allocations away for free simply delays the price signal, and thus the
action of market forces, by some years - years we don't have.

The American Solar Energy Society takes the position that all permits
must be auctioned. They must be auctioned upstream, where carbon first
enters the economy. That sends a direct price signals on carbon, and
produces offsetting revenue to help consumers, businesses and local
governments to choose sustainable energy strategies.

Action

The bar must be high to make a difference. We absolutely need to send
the right market signal from day one. Progress toward a sustainable
energy economy requires consistently ambitious action. The time for
visionary leadership, using 21st century technologies, is now. If you
agree with us, please let your member of Congress know how you feel.

Simply call the Washington switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and ask to
speak with your Representative or click here for the online directory.

Thank you for adding your voice to this important legislation. Your
call makes a difference. And together, we're speeding the transition
to a sustainable energy economy.

With sincere thanks,

Brad Collins

World’s Largest Solar Thermal Plant (340MW) Planned for Arizona
Written by Jake Richardson

Published on May 13th, 2009


The Mohave Sun Power company is planning a project in Mohave County that could begin construction in the fourth quarter of 2010.
It will use 4,000 acres of land and employ concentrating solar power. Molten salt will be the storage medium.

Mitchell Dong, the company’s CEO explained the technology, “It’s a parabolic trough, or a ‘U’-shaped mirror that reflects or concentrates the sunlight by a factor of 100 to this thin tube of transfer fluid. In this case, it’s a synthetic oil heated to 800 degrees by the sun’s light. There are rows and rows of these collectors and this 800 degree oil is pumped to a central power block, a central location where that hot oil goes to a boiler. It makes steam and drives a single steam turbine.” Of course the whole installation would use many arrays of parabolic troughs.
Energy generated by the plant would be purchased by California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado. If the planning and construction processes go smoothly the plant could starting producing electricity by 2013. The planning actually has been going on for some time: “We have been working on this for over a year,” said Mohave County Supervisor Buster Johnson. (Mohave County has already had a different 200 MW project planned for construction.) This larger one will depend upon federal stimulus money for financing.
If approved and funded, the project could generate an estimated 1,500 jobs during the construction phase, and require 100 employees when operational. Such a large plant would also generate local tax revenues. Construction cost is estimated at two billion dollars.
(A nuclear power project requiring two reactors could cost 17 billion.)
In addition to the planning and funding challenges, the project must address the need for a large amount of water used for cooling purposes. The current solar power capacity of the US is over 9,000 MW, and it is growing steadily.

'fraid I don't believe this is the end of this issue; why else keep scoping period open? TANC just found a way out of facing the opponents to this project; nothing to stop SMUD climbing back on board later or who ever else and things are off and running again. We can't back off now, keep the pressure up!

Holy cow-cheese! What a freakin concept, obviously that didn't come out of Redding.

On a side note, I love how almost anything labeled as 'green' really is no better (or actually worst!) for the environment when all things are factored in. I think the only thing I can recall in recent memory as actually making real environmental sense were some 5x6 picture frames made from scrap construction wood (if in fact it was actually scrap wood) - but then their $35 price tag reaffirmed that it's all really just marketing BS.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not buy this.
1) TANC cancelled it's meeting up here because they heard - today - how much opposition they are going to face when they get up here from the rally ,walk, and meeting.

2) Why are we letting TANC out of the meeting on the 8th. REU is still involved along with 3 other utilities and the biggest one of all WAPA is still involved - THE FEDS.

3)They are still going ahead with the EIR and EIS process which means the project is still on.

4) So again - why do they get to get out of coming to the Cascade on the 8th - because they don't want to face the northstate.

5) This is a ploy to get us to stop our meetings. WE WON'T!!!! We are still having our rally on the 8th. - We are still having our walk on the 8th. PLEASE PLEASE JOIN US!!! email me at coachlisacmt@hotmail and come to the rally at the Holiday Inn from 2-4 pm on the 8th where Carol Overland will be there to help us understand this game. If we need a bigger room we will get one and show them we are not going away.

6) Call all of you local officials and pressure them to keep the meeting on the 8th. Unless TANC and WAPA both pull out of this project they still need to answer to us. CALL - CALL - CALL!!!!!!

I doubt TANC can proceed if SMUD is truly "out". But we need to keep on top of the Redding City Council, to put TANC on the Agenda, and pull out also.

I don't see how TANC can cancel the meetings, and continue the project.

Let's hope TANC is just botching the project cancellation notice, same as everything else they have done.

We definately need to rally and continue on. This is not just about stopping this project, this is about taking part in the design of our energy future. Through this process we have all learned very well that a good part of the people designing our energy plan are completely unaware of what they are actually creating and are just simply following someone else. We cannot afford to take our eyes off this ball and if TANC does not have the time and committment to follow through with this meeting then we should have it without them.

if Sac needs electricity, then maybe they can recommission the nuke plant they didn't want in their backyards and caused to be shut down.

they are worried about their "air" and "power", they can use a solution in their own area to fix their own problems.

not step on everyone elses' toes and create problems for us just for their benefit.

there is no net gain when one problem is "fixed" but yet another is created in its place.

for those involved in fighting this, add this to your arsenal.

the powers that be will not likely change, unless YOU do the leg work for them. YOU do the job for free that they would pay engineers, etc, millions of dollars to figure out.

the worst part, they are not in it for the benefit of people. they are in it for their own profit. so the solution must also have financial gain for them.

employ the same grappling pull and spin reversal tactic on them, that they do to the people when the people start to push too strongly.

the push for nuclear power is coming from above anyway. there are even new plants in the works of being built in texas.

the motion of more nuke plants coming should be recognizable as so, by what has been in the media and the various attitudes and ideas that have been slowly being injected. one can also look up all of the articles on the CFR website in promotion of nuke power. it's coming and we should use it to our advantage here.

as many people are against nuclear power, they may just have to suck it up and make the choice. do they want all of the things that go with line project in their area, or do they want Sac to provide its own power via the idle nuke plant in their area.

nuke fuel is about the cheapest out there and it causes no "green house gasses". there is the profit factor for the boys on top still and Sac, etc. still get their electricity.

people can, and must, use the environmental argument that stringing those lines will cause more environmental upset than the nuke plant.

use the reversal and use all their own ploys against them.

i also surmise it will be far cheaper to restart that nuke plant than to construct this line project. our nuke plants are safer than chernobyl. sure, we had three mile island scare. but notice it did not escape. newer plants are even safer. especially the ADS plants= accellerator driven system.

again, i also say to put the responsibility back to the people to come up with ways to fix their own problem.

then let's just hope they don't later shoot for the line project again so they can sell nuke power to nevada.

- i believe there is a much better energy plan to support our needs. but that is another agenda. i think in this case, we have to do what we have to do for now, until the other alternative gains ground.

essentially there could be a root wisdom in what you say?

that politicians from all parties have decade after decade pulled the people deeper into the pit. and they mainly produce laws and regulations that have continually proved detramental and few if any have been repealed.

so basically this system of politicians and corporate lobbies is a sickness. and instead of fighting the symptoms, we should instead look for the cure. a better way for our society to function?

get rid of the disease and the sickness and symptoms will disappear for good?

Coachlisa is right, the fight is not over. This is simply a ploy. If the scoping is continuing so is the project. If you read the articles in the SAC Bee it does not say that the project is stopped only on hold. WAPA has enough money to do the entire project on their own, they simply were using TANC as the frontman because TANC has no oversight. We need to continue what we have been doing and put pressure on electeds including local, state and federal. The people of Redding and the north area deserve answers from TANC and WAPA and they need to come on the 8th to answer to the people. Do not think for a minute this is over. IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!


SMUD will withdraw from power line project

* By Record Searchlight staff
* Posted July 1, 2009 at 6:56 p.m.


The Sacramento Municipal Utility District, (SMUD), the largest participant in a proposed 600-mile long high voltage power line, plans to withdraw from the project, according to a spokesman for the Transmission Agency of Northern California.

The TANC power line has stirred fierce opposition from property owners who fear they may be in the path of the proposed line. Opponents from Round Mountain to Davis have organized against the line since TANC started the environmental review process this winter.

SMUD was the largest shareholder in the power line, fronting 35 percent of the planning costs. Redding was by far the smallest, financing just 1.5 percent of the planning costs.

In light of SMUD's decision to withdraw, TANC has said it will postpone public outreach meetings planned in July, including the one scheduled at the Cascade Theatre on Wednesday. But the environmental review process will continue, said spokesman Brendan Wonnacott.

"TANC believes it is important to keep the 'public scoping' period open during this time," Wonnacott said in a press statement. "Allowing the scoping process to proceed will help determine where to put the transmission lines needed to ensure reliable and affordable electric service for the residents and businesses throughout northern California and to expand access to clean energy sources such as solar, geothermal and wind energy."

If TANC "believes it is important to keep the PUBLIC scoping period open during this time", why is it cancelling its scheduled public meetings? Shouldn't the public be allowed the opportunity to help determine where to put these transmission lines if this project eventually goes through?

In fact, shouldn't the public be allowed to help determine whether the City of Redding should continue to be involved in this project at all?

And REU Director Paul Hauser's statement that REU will TRY to "keep rates low" either way is a joke.

Hauser and Company pushed through what will amount to rate increases of at least 60 percent for REU ratepayers, all while secretly being involved in the TANC project - an involvement they masterfully kept hidden from the public by sliding it through on the City Council's in-house "consent calendar", which is reserved for items of little importance to be passed with NO public discussion.

Our focus has to stay on our local officials to answer the many questions TANC has just avoided. Much of the TANC plan does not add up. Since the Redding City Council bought into this plan without discussion or a vote, they all must be very well educated about all the details we have questions about and should be happy to stand in place of the TANC board to answer these crucial questions. The meeting should go on.

"We obviously felt the TANC transmission project would have kept rates lower," Hauser said. "But we'll adapt and leverage whatever assets we have to try to keep rates lower for ratepayers."'

REU has perhaps the highest kWh rates in the western US for low-use customers. After the next rate hike kicks in in four months, A REU ratepayer buying 300 kWh a month (about what I use) will be paying 23.3% more, $8.07 more every month, than a PG&E customer buying the same 300 kwh of electricity.

REU has, in the past, kept rates low for it's high-use residential customers. This discount pricing of energy for people who waste it, has been at the expense of most REU ratepayers, a disaster for REU finances, and has caused great environmental harm.

And the final victims will be the REU high-use homeowners themselves, who, as their rates rise exponentially in the future, find that their investment was based on a promise of low energy rates that REU cannot keep.

If REU, makes a profit, than conservation and solar generation projects on Redding owned buildings and
residents makes perfect sense...Second Class

I just went up to Weed to view a solar generation project
installed nearly 28 years ago, still operating like it did then. You need to become a little bit more educated in this
industry before you make such statements.

There have been no continuing expenses, only savings,there has been no maintenance cost involved, there has been no liability, except what exist with any structure that people inhabit and that is covered by the owners policy anyway. After inspections and pictures, I am proud to tell you, no replacement cost are involved either. Perhaps you should re-examine your position on this and do me another favor, stop popping off here about things you know nothing about.

One thing I can assure you is, the cost of electricity in the area, and ours rose on average, 10% per year, each and every year the system has operated...still think this was a bad investment? funny since someone that made it, my customer, still, after 28 years, feels just the opposite_Green Earl (In Weed, CA..at the foot of Mt.

Another Gold Rush, Now Taking Place In California, Like The Last Time It Happened, in 1848, It Won't Be Just The Miners, Who Get Rich!_By Green Earl

Solar, Wind, Bio, Energy News And Commentary By_Green Earl, 30 year Pioneer In Conservation & Solar Energy

Following description of the aftermath of the 1849 California Gold
Rush as told by author J.S. Holliday in his wonderful book written
about the First California Gold Rush, titled: THE WORLD RUSHED IN
The California Gold Rush Experience

"The business of California is conducted boldly. Men make money
here rapidly, spend it freely and hastily. Changes in occupations
are frequent and in wealth, rapid.

Hazardous speculation is the body of our commercial system.
Most of our businessmen are young and they are still under
the influence of the feverish times of 49. Hereditary wealth
is unknown, our rich are prominent advertisements of the
victories that may be achieved by enterprise and bold
speculation.

It is not an uncommon thing to see men who have been wealthy
on three or four occasions and then poor again....When men
fail they do not despair, in California...they hope to be rich
again.

Written by_J.S. Hittell California's first economist in 1863,
15 years after the discovery of Gold at Sutters Mill in Coloma,
California."

"Another Affirmation of Freedom, Opportunity, Rewards for the
risk-takers, optimism in the face of failure in a society unlike
any other.

What A Transformation...Consider these fundamentals,
characteristics, created and shaped by the impact of
"The Gold Rush". It created the worlds first
melting pot, A Global Society named San
Francisco. A full one hundred years before that concept
was even conceived.

California, "The Great Exception"
And it is happening again, this time on a Global Scale.
Imagine, A Global Gold Rush!

For those that want to relive the cycle of the Gold
Rush, Leave Home, Travel To Distant Lands, Experience
a New Life and Return One Day A Changed Man or Women
(as in a war) And
this time you won't even have to even leave your home
computer, if you can't or don't want too.

Your Search Begins With This Post. Do A little
prospecting through out this post...You'll find your
El Dorado_Green Earl I would not say it If I did
not believe in my heart.... it was so.
