Emissions Policies: States Rights Or Federal Prerogative? Proposed California Air Resource Board (CARB) Restrictions are stringent From a base year of 2002, it calls for emissions reductions of: 22% by 2012 30% by 2016
Emission rules process under way in 8 states including: New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and CaliforniaWashington and Oregon plan to become the 9th and 10th states, representing a total of 29% of the U.S. auto market Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed Executive Order S-3-05 in order to allow California to continue to be the leader in the fight against global warming. This bill calls for:GHG emissions at 2000 levels by 2010GHG emissions at 1990 levels by 2020GHG emissions at 80% below 1990 levels by 2050

Security of Gas SuppliesReserves are highly concentrated at top of distribution: Russia has 30.5%Russia + Iran have 45%Add Qatar, Saudi Arabia + UAE These 5 countries have 62%But regional distribution is better. Middle East has 36% of gas reserves compared with 65% of oil reserves.

Conditions for an Effective Cartel
Cartel members control large share of marketMust agree to production quotas or capacity controlsMust prevent cheatingMust prevent new entryInelastic demand for productLow elasticity of supply of non-membersSmall number of membersEasier to coordinateEasier to catch cheaters
* RICE UNIVERSITY
Prospects for a Gas CartelDistribution of gas reserves is concentratedGas exports are even more concentrated.Russia has 28% Top 7 have 79% of exportsBut Canada, Norway and Netherlands with 30% of exports are not likely to joinOnly significant Middle East exporter is Qatar with 2.6%But export concentration reflects underdevelopment of gas deposits in many countries.More widespread development will create many sources of supply. (the supply elasticity of non-members of a cartel is large in short - intermediate term)

Prospects for Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF)Little power at presentAttempts to prevent European liberalizationAlgerian gas for BostonToo many members with competing interests to constrain capacity expansion in intermediate term.

In the Long RunAs in oil, world will become increasingly dependent on few sources of gas after 2030 Russia and OPEC will have incentives to coordinate pricing of oil and gasConsuming nations can reduce market power of exporters byPromoting competition among energy sources byLiberalizing domestic energy sectorsDevelop technologies that facilitate fuel switchingImprove energy efficiency

Climate Change Bills in the Senate McCain Lieberman Establishes cap-and-trade system Aims to cut carbon emissions to 2000 level by 2010 Worst-case scenario: freezes carbon emissions at 2010 levels Provides $1 Billion in subsidies for the development of cleaner energy technologies (including nuclear power) Bingaman Hagel Calls for mid-2012 levels by 2020 Industry can buy its way out of cap if carbon credits become prohibitively expensive Provides generous incentives for technological development and climate research
