What We’ve Been Reading

page 1

• Nancy Pfund, a Managing Partner of DBL Investors, and Ben Healey asked a question we find

ourselves asking all too often in Virginia, What Would Jefferson Do?. While this general

question can be applied in any number of contexts (e.g., drafting a declaration, establishing a

state university, selecting the right wine with dinner), Pfund and Healey pose the question in

reference to a rather specific topic, “The Historical Role of Federal Subsidies in Shaping

America‟s Energy Future.” Through their research of a wide range of historical data, they

attempt to tackle the challenge of comparing energy subsidies on an apples-to-apples basis by

focusing on historical subsidies that had an impact as a particular energy source emerged. The

results are not particularly surprising – historical government subsidies for oil, gas, and nuclear

far exceeded those currently (and recently) in place for renewables.

• Harold Hamm, the founder and CEO of Continental Resources (and the original discoverer of

the Bakken oil fields), seems to offer a rebuttal to the point above in an interview with The

Wall Street Journal, stating, “We can‟t come anywhere near the scale of energy production to

achieve energy independence by pouring tax dollars into „green energy‟ sources like wind and

solar. It has to come from oil and gas.” Interview topics range from U.S. oil and gas potential

to the current regulatory landscape to the potential royalty stream the federal government could

realize if federal lands were open to exploration (Hamm estimates $18 trillion, or more than the

U.S. national debt).

• In “The Fallout – Seven months later: Japan‟s nuclear predicament” (subscription required),

The New Yorker’s Evan Osnos explores Japan‟s tangled relationship with nuclear power with a

detailed retelling of the events in March, their aftermath, and the potential implications for

nuclear power in Japan and abroad. Osnos writes, “On balance, the Fukushima disaster handed

no easy victories to either side of the nuclear debate: defenders can no longer pretend to have

engineered away the risks of generating a billion watts in a concrete building, and opponents

cannot easily suggest that a meltdown will produce the huge number of immediate casualties

that the public imagines. Even after Fukushima, several influential environmentalists have

renewed their contention that nuclear power is an unavoidable part of weaning the planet from

the burning of fossil fuels.”

• The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) released its first Quadrennial Technology Review

(“QTR”), which was launched at the recommendation of President Obama‟s Council of

Advisors on Science and Technology. Introducing the report, Secretary of Energy Stephen

Chu writes, “Traditionally, the Department‟s strategy has been organized along individual

program lines and based on annual budgets. With this QTR, we bind together multiple energy

technologies, as well as multiple DOE energy technology programs, in the common purpose of

solving our energy problems. In addition, the QTR provides a multi-year framework for our

planning. Energy investments are multi-year, multi-decade investments. Given this time

horizon, we need to take a longer view.” While the U.S. may be no closer to a formal energy

policy, it at least appears to be organizing its resources more holistically and efficiently.

• The Energy, Power, and Infrastructure and Industrial Services indices rebounded following

increased turbulence in August and September.

• The North American rotary rig count continued its climb, again setting a new three-year high

water mark.

• Third quarter M&A activity experienced a slight decline as the macroeconomic circumstances

added an additional element of uncertainty to many processes.

• Commodity prices have stabilized following late-summer declines.
