Not energy drillers and explorers, but the companies that sell equipment to those drillers.
The directive allows for reduced VAT in several areas including water, food, audio books, restaurant service, gardening, nappies and energy itself - but not energy-saving products.
Markets chase productive technologies--visible in economic, not energy, metrics.
Thanks to fracking, the United States can become not energy independent of the rest of the world (oil will still a global commodity with prices set on the world market) but definitely more energy secure.
"The way we look at it, you can waste energy or not waste energy, " Boesel said.
However, the Energy Saving Trust says the government's plans do not require energy companies to provide separate energy monitors when they install the new meters.
We live in a world that needs alternative forms of energy which are not hydrocarbon based, forms of energy that do not contaminate at every stage of their lifecycle, that do not place benzene and formaldehyde in our air, diesel fuel in our aquifers and more benzene and formaldehyde as we drive our kids to work.
"If this technology works on a commercial scale the way we believe it will, the treatment of wastewater could be a huge energy producer, not a huge energy cost, " said Hong Liu, an associate professor in the OSU Department of Biological and Ecological Engineering.
And that's why the plan that I've put forward for manufacturing, and education, and reducing our deficit in a sensible way, using the savings from ending wars to rebuild America and putting people back to work, making sure that we are controlling our own energy, but not just the energy of today, but also the energy of the future -- all those things will make a difference.
The combustion engine slowly recharges the battery pack when it is not using energy to move the vehicle.
One of the biggest problems we have with alternative energy is not just producing the energy, but also distributing it.
The central bank argues that core inflation (ie, not counting energy and food prices) remains manageable, and is likely to abate soon.
The Rudd government recently admitted that most of the emissions reductions would have to come from carbon offsets, not clean energy technology.
Because factories are built to manufacture goods, not conserve energy, "most of corporate America uses 20% more energy than it needs to, " says Mobius partner Richard Palmer.
For investors, the weak start to the year means there is still time to get in at reasonable prices, but not every energy bet will be a winner.
Not all energy stocks are alike, and for North American energy I like Baytex Energy ( BTE, 47 ), a Canadian producer that pays monthly and yields 5.75%.
If Bayer does purchase CropScience, it will further drive home a point that has increasingly become apparent to anyone watching the pharmaceutical industry: The drug business does not leave energy for diversification.
Eligible improvements (PDF) include not only energy-saving equipment such as insulation, lighting, and HVAC systems but onsite renewable energy (rooftop PV, wind turbines, and fuel cells) and water-saving upgrades such as low-flow plumbing fixtures and grey water systems.

Why not terminate energy subsidies altogether?
FORBES: Too-Green-To-Fail Energy Policies Flunk Achievement Tests
But he refuses to sign onto mandatory emission-reduction obligations, preferring to encourage the development of new technologies and other voluntary measures, and won't participate in any talks toward a global agreement that do not include energy guzzlers from the developing world.
Expensive: Currently wind energy not as efficient as fossil fuel or nuclear energy and farms are expensive to set up.
"The market's oriented to supplying the cheapest energy, not the lowest-polluting energy, " Newell says.
But an energy strategy that focuses only on drilling and not on an energy strategy that will free ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil, that's a losing strategy.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama Speaks on Expanding Our Energy Portfolio
Fueling personal energy: not only nutrition, but all energy sources that fuel performance and sustain action over the longer term.
This sounds a lot like the U.S. House bill, which gives away much more money to polluters than it invests in clean energy and includes a Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) that would not increase renewable energy deployment.
Since utilities are in the business of generating and distributing energy and not saving it, most of the energy efficiency work in California has been outsourced to companies that specialize in that type of work.
"Some people are high-energy people, and others are not very high-energy, " she says.
While it is absolutely essential that we continue to drive down the costs of generating electricity from solar (and wind, which is indirect solar energy, ) doing so alone will not make these renewable energy sources competitive with traditional hydro, fossil or nuclear generated electricity.
