Forget the axis of evil, its the axis of oil The Cold War and the War on Terror were about ideology and globalization. The 21st century will be dominated by the struggle for energy: It will be every man for himself and it’s going to get dirty. In the two-part documentary Energy War, vpro’s Backlight investigates the major developments with regards to energy sources. Featuring NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman. The film describes the geopolitical consequences of the dependency on fossil fuels. In the struggle for the last sources of fossil fuels, countries all over the world are forced to take new political and moral decisions and have to enter into awkward alliances: rogue regimes must be tolerated and befriended. With a special focus on the gas conflict between Georgia and Russia and the position of Saudi Arabia. Featuring ao Thomas Friedman, author of international bestseller The World is Flat. Friedman sheds his light on the inverse connection between rising oil prices and the establishment of free democracies. The film then moves on to take a look at the international markets for alternative energy. If oil and gas are scarce and expensive in the future, where will countries turn to keep their economy going and their population warm and happy? Could solar energy or bio fuels become the main energy sources of the post-fossil fuel era? Will governments, multinationals or small producers be the motor of the green race?

March 3 (Bloomberg) — James “Jim” Hackett, chief executive officer for Anadarko Petroleum Corp., talks with Bloomberg’s Betty Liu about the outlook for the natural gas industry, climate-change legislation and the environmental benefits of natural gas. They speak at the Energy Industry Board Conference in Houston. (This is an excerpt of the full interview. Source: Bloomberg)

Allan Bonner discusses the feasibility of alternative energy sources on this edition of @issue.

Most people are well aware of the incredible increase in solar energy options for a home, but not everyone knows that there are actually power plants constructed entirely of solar panels. Currently, the United States military is the owner of the world’s largest solar power plant, which supplies around 30% of the needs of one of its largest and busiest bases. These plants require fields of collectors which can direct the light of the sun into a master collector, which in turn superheats water and converts the steam into huge amounts of energy. This, however, is not how all home solar power panels work and they can do everything from heat domestic water supplies or swimming pools, to actually generate electrical energy which is stored in banks of batteries which deliver electricity once the sun has set.

Solar power from the sun used in solar post lights is one of the most widely used options for alternative energy today, but wind power is gaining ground. Enormous turbines mounted on gigantic windmills are a fixture of many large and uninhabited areas of the world. For instance, along the many ridges of the Green Mountains of Vermont are wind farms, but also in the more remote areas of Hawaii are wind farms as well. These are now also being used by many home and farm owners who simply build or buy their own very small windmills and turbines which provide a constant supply of energy in their home or buildings. Unfortunately, unlike solar energy, wind power is only available in those locations that receive a certain, set amount of air flow every single day.

Finally, and just as promising as the other alternative energies already discussed, are the bio fuels now available for heating homes and operating cars. This is a wonderful opportunity for communities to “grow their own” energy sources and make the fuels on-site, which would continue to save resources and keep prices low. As time passes, alternative energies will become more affordable and widely available, which means that eventually people can reduce or eliminate their dependence on fossil fuels, and ultimately save the environment.

Laurie questions why the government can invest hundreds of millions of dollars in carbon capture for non-renewable fossil fuels, and nothing for renewable and alternative energy.
