Iran And Pakistan To Sign Peace Pipeline Deal

Washington (UPI) Jan 7, 2008 - Iran's ambassador to Pakistan said Jan. 25 is the date the two sides will sign the so-called peace pipeline, a multibillion-dollar project to send Iranian natural gas to Pakistan. There are mixed reports on Iraq's resumption of oil exports to Turkey, which were shut last week because of full storage tanks, not security impediments. Colombia's state-owned oil company Ecopetrol and the Vancouver-based Petro Rubiales Energy Corp. signed a memorandum of understanding to pipe heavy oil from the Rubiales and Piriri fields in Meta, Colombia. The 217-mile pipeline of India's largest refiner, Indian Oil Corp., will be sending crude from Paradip to Haldia within three to four weeks.

Analysis: Uzbek and Tajik energy

Washington (UPI) Jan 4, 2008 - In the Soviet Union, many commodities were subsidized for Soviet consumers, including energy, which was provided either free or at costs far below world prices. The practice still continues in most post-Soviet states, with Russian consumers receiving natural gas and electricity at rates far below world prices, while in Turkmenistan, citizens receive free natural gas and electricity and it costs only about $1 to fill up a car's gas tank.

Mobile Metal Atoms

Siegen, Germany (SPX) Jan 04, 2008 - Mobile phones, notebook computers, iPods-the boom in portable computing and communications devices is dependent on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to deliver power.
