...May's Shell London Lecture, delivered by Melvyn Giles on Wednesday 9 May. The past decade has seen spectacular growth in the exploration and development of so-called 'unconventional gas' in North America. Only a decade ago, these hydrocarbons would rarely have been considered for extraction, but the development of new technology has turned accepted wisdom of petroleum exploration on its head. Unconventionals include a wide range of resources, including shale gas/oil and coal bed methane. All are trapped within tight rocks, and evaluating what is available is not straightforward. Although it is becoming clear that vast volumes exist on a global scale, their production raises many social and environmental challenges. This presentation will examine the origin and range of unconventional resources, the controversies which surround their exploitation, and their potential for contributing to a solution to global energy challenges....

...Over the past few weeks, Congressman Goodlatte made several stops around the 6th District to hear more about the direct impact of high gas prices on hard working families and businesses. He also held two "Pumping for Patrons" events in Mt. Crawford and Forest. While pumping gas for constituents, Congressman Goodlatte talked with them about high gas prices. Although we have seen some limited relief at the pump recently, no one was happy with the price of a tank of gas. When asked what we should do to lower gas prices, most patrons had the same solution -- utilize more American energy. Whether by accessing offshore reserves or developing the Keystone XL pipeline, these are ideas that Congressman Goodlatte supports. The first step in lowering gas prices is moving towards an energy independent United States. The House has passed legislation to advance a true "all-of-the-above" energy policy, which included provisions from his legislation to explore for oil and natural gas off the coast of Virginia. Now it's time for the Senate and the White House to act or the pain at the pump won't go away....
