This document discusses Europe's reliance on fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil for its energy needs. It notes that some European countries have banned the practice of fracking due to environmental and social opposition, while others have utilized it. The document also examines the challenges of fracking in Europe given its dense population and lack of pipeline infrastructure. It suggests that Europe's high energy costs are making industries there less competitive compared to companies expanding in the United States.

The EUs Energy Supply
The EU relies heavily on energy imports, importing over 50% of its total energy needs. The EU's energy demand is growing while its domestic production is decreasing. Currently, fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal make up around 80% of the EU's energy needs. This over-reliance on imported fossil fuels leaves the EU vulnerable geopolitically. To increase its energy security, the EU aims to reduce energy demand through greater efficiency, boost renewable energy production to 20% of needs by 2020, and diversify its supplier base away from Russia which currently supplies around 30% of the EU's oil and gas imports. Major pipeline projects are planned to connect the EU to new suppliers while reducing dependence on Russia.
EU Energy Security
Today EU’s and most of the countries’ main concern is energy security. How they reach energy at an affordable price, reliable, diverse and abundant supplies, is the main question. Moreover, energy security composed of commonly with Supply ‘Consumers’, Transportation, Demand ‘Producers’ and Physical Security ‘Producer and Consumer’. Because there is a struggle over resources, EU, ‘national and supranational governance’ should take challenges, opportunities well in to consideration
Modernising the european lignite triangle
In a new study, Agora Energiewende and Forum Energii analyse the opportunity for a phase out from lignite and the effects this would have in the power sector in Poland, Czech Republic, and Germany by 2032. The study finds that an accelerated phase out is technically and economically feasible if coordinated among the three countries – provided, lignite is being substituted by renewable energy sources.

Silesia as industrial region might face problems with sources of energy. We are in danger of depletion of natural resources. This is when alternative sources of energy need to be considered.
Energy Demand and Energy Policy, Jim Watson, UKERC
1) Energy demand has increased substantially since 1970 due to growth in industry, transport, and domestic usage.
2) The "energy policy trilemma" aims to balance energy security, affordability, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, though tensions exist between these goals.
3) While the UK has made progress in reducing emissions and adding renewable capacity, sustained progress is at risk and efforts have been limited in key areas like low-carbon heat and industrial/commercial efficiency improvements.

The document summarizes a presentation on the prospects of coal-fired power generation in Southeast Asia. It outlines the current status of coal power in the region, noting that while gas has historically played a large role, new coal plants are being built due to low coal prices. However, three potential "assassins" threaten the long-term outlook for coal: increased gas supply could lower prices and compete with coal; declining costs are making clean technologies like solar and wind more competitive; and environmental policies following COP21 may target coal. The impacts of disruptive clean technologies seen elsewhere already raise questions about whether new coal plants could become stranded assets.

Global energy demand is expected to increase over the next 20 years as the world's population grows. Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal will continue to dominate the global energy mix, accounting for over 80% of energy consumption. Large integrated oil and gas companies will play a key role in developing new energy sources to meet rising demand. Turkey relies heavily on energy imports and aims to enhance energy security by encouraging domestic and private companies to obtain reserves abroad and develop integrated upstream and downstream capabilities. Fossil fuels will remain critical to meeting global and Turkish energy needs for over a century.
Global Perspective for Oil and Gas in Energy Policies
Global energy demand is expected to increase over the next 20 years as the world population grows. Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal will continue to make up the majority of global energy consumption, around 80% by 2035. Many countries and companies are dependent on fossil fuel imports to meet domestic energy needs. Turkey in particular relies heavily on imports to meet over 80% of its oil demand and nearly 100% of its natural gas demand. To improve energy security, Turkey and other countries will need to encourage domestic production and exploration activities as well as securing reserves internationally through state-owned and private companies.

Coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants are three major sources of electricity generation discussed in the document. Coal power plants produce the most air and water pollution but coal is abundant. Natural gas power plants are cheaper and quicker to build than coal plants, but gas is non-renewable. Nuclear power plants have no greenhouse gas emissions but are very expensive, produce radioactive waste, and accidents can be catastrophic. China, the US, and Russia rely most heavily on coal, while the US, Russia, and France rely most on nuclear power.
Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions Against Russia?
1. Europe is still heavily reliant on importing natural gas from Russia, funding Russia's war in Ukraine. Options to reduce this reliance include small modular nuclear reactors and increased green hydrogen production.
2. Carbon emissions and income inequality are generally better in Europe compared to the US, due to higher taxes funding social programs in Europe.
3. Germany in particular needs to address its high carbon emissions given its phase-out of nuclear power, leading to increased reliance on dirty coal and Russian natural gas. Expanding nuclear and green energy can help solve this problem.
Energy transition
The document discusses the ongoing global transition away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy. It outlines the rise of solar, wind, and other renewable sources of energy as coal, oil, and nuclear power decline. Coal use is peaking in many countries as plants close due to regulations and competition from cheaper renewables and natural gas. Solar and wind power have experienced remarkable cost declines and are increasingly outcompeting fossil fuels in many places. The transition is being driven by falling prices, technological advances, concerns about pollution and climate change, and shrinking fossil fuel reserves that are harder and more expensive to access.
Strategic View of BP
BP is a major British multinational oil and gas company with operations in upstream exploration and production as well as downstream refining, marketing, and trading. It faces challenges from increased regulation, climate change concerns, and negative public perception following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. To address these issues, BP can expand partnerships through joint ventures, increase lobbying efforts, invest more heavily in renewable energy and carbon capture technology, and strengthen its marketing to highlight these sustainability initiatives.
Energy - AS A-level geography (AQA)
The document discusses the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Renewable sources like wind and solar have an infinite supply, while non-renewables like coal, oil and gas have a finite supply that will eventually run out. It then provides details on various energy sources, both renewable (solar, wind, tidal) and non-renewable (coal, oil, gas, nuclear), discussing their usage and environmental impacts. It also examines global trade in energy commodities and geopolitical factors that influence energy production and consumption.
Team 1.pdf
The European Union imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. This caused a major gas crisis as Russia was a key supplier of gas to Europe. In response, Russia cut gas flows to Europe which increased energy costs. Germany approved a $200 billion fund to subsidize higher energy bills, causing protests and raising concerns about inflation and challenges within the EU if countries act alone. The situation exposed weaknesses in the EU's energy independence and coordination during the crisis.

The global perspective of Energy Crisis.pptx
The document summarizes the key causes and impacts of the global energy crisis. It identifies overpopulation, infrastructure issues, waste, and excessive consumption as contributing to dwindling energy supplies. The crisis has led to high fuel prices, conflicts over resources in the Middle East, and countries seeking new nuclear energy options. Potential solutions proposed include transitioning to renewable resources, promoting energy efficiency, improving energy grids, and implementing stricter controls on lighting and emissions. The crisis affects both developed and developing nations by threatening affordable access to electricity and cooking fuels.
Energy policy of the european union (1)
The European Union imports over half of its gas and over three quarters of its oil, relying heavily on Russia and other countries. The EU established a unified energy policy in 2005 to promote secure, sustainable and competitive energy. Key goals include reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2020 and 95% by 2050 from primary energy sources. Major challenges include improving energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable technologies, and ensuring security of supply from diverse sources.
Keynote for 1st Catalan Congress on Energy Poverty 3rd November 2016
Fuel poverty is a common problem across the EU that affects over 52 million households. It disproportionately impacts southern, central, and eastern European countries due to factors like poor energy efficiency, income inequality, high energy costs, and inefficient housing stock. The document summarizes the author's research on defining and measuring fuel poverty through analysis of EU policy documents and household survey data to create the first pan-EU index of energy poverty severity. It also describes the author's current EVALUATE project that takes a neighborhood-level approach to understanding the drivers of energy vulnerability in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe.
A2 Geography - Environmental management
This document discusses sustainable energy supplies and trends in energy consumption. It notes that most global energy currently comes from non-renewable resources like coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources have disadvantages like air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and finite supplies. The document also discusses renewable energy sources like hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. It examines how factors like population, GDP, policies, and geography influence energy demand in different countries. High-income countries tend to rely more on oil and natural gas, while many low-income countries rely heavily on biomass. The document analyzes energy trends in major countries and regions. It provides examples of China's large-scale efforts to expand renewable energy and balance economic growth with environmental

This document discusses the reasons for government intervention in energy sectors by analyzing state-owned energy companies in Russia, Brazil, and China. It explores the historical motivations for establishing state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and examples of modern SOE sectors. The document then analyzes Gazprom of Russia, Petrobras of Brazil, and Chinese petroleum majors. It examines the motivations for re-intervention in each case and considers whether the companies serve as instruments of the state or behave like private enterprises. The future expectations and challenges for each SOE are also reviewed.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.Bridging the gap: Online job postings, survey data and the assessment of job ...

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.Economic Risk Factor Update: June 2024 [SlideShare]

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
