Energy & Power Industry Update December 2011

What We’ve Been Reading

page 1

• Ahead of the U.S. State Department’s decision to delay its decision on Keystone XL pipeline this

past month, Bloomberg Businessweek published “Pipe Dreams,” which posited, “The Keystone XL

pipeline is a solution to the U.S. energy crunch. So why is it one of the most hotly contested

projects in decades? And is it even good business?” The article offers an excellent summation of

the issues at play and fairly presents both the pros and cons of the debate. On the second question

above, it suggests that the underlying oil to be transported in the pipeline may soon be

uneconomical to extract. Industry analysts estimate that once extraction in the Canadian tar sands

moves from mining to in situ extraction, production costs for the oil could reach as high as $115 per

barrel, nearly twice the $60 per barrel current estimated cost of extraction.

• The State Department’s non-decision was followed by a flurry of opinion pieces. Not to spoil any

surprises on the sources here, but The New York Times hailed the decision as “The Right Move on

Keystone,” while The Wall Street Journal decried the decision as the “Keystone Cop-Out.” One of

the more interesting responses was from Michael Levi of the Council on Foreign Relations who, in

The New York Times, proclaimed “A Shortsighted Victory in Delaying the Keystone XL Pipeline.”

Levi argues that the environmental lobby’s ultimate alliance with local opposition groups to halt the

project (rather than on their initial opposition based on increased greenhouse emissions) may come

to haunt other energy initiatives, particularly renewable energy projects and their respective

transmission lines often subject to the same type of local opposition.

• On his blog, Secret Formula, Matthew Nordan of Venrock Capital examines “The State of

Cleantech Venture Capital” in four parts and from several different perspectives. As of this writing,

“Part 1: The Money” and “Part 2: The Investors” had been released, both of which offer some

interesting insights and are well worth reading. In Part 1, Nordan reviews historical funding for

cleantech start-ups and extrapolates that the next several years will see an unprecedented need for

late-stage capital (more than $3 billion per year) for cleantech companies. Based on recent raises

for late-stage funds, Nordan believes the money will be there, but potentially to the detriment of

early stage cleantech companies seeking funds. In Part 2, Nordan notes the “conventional wisdom”

on cleantech investing as: “Cleantech VC must be performing much worse than VC overall. First,

very few exits have occurred relative to the large amount of money invested. Second, cleantech

companies are time-consuming to develop – so when exits do occur, they’ll take longer. Finally,

during the same time period that cleantech VC got under way, Internet VC investment yielded big

wins like LinkedIn and Groupon. Doubtless, cleantech returns must look awful by comparison.” He

then writes, “Every part of the statement above is incorrect,” which is followed by a point-by-point

rebuttal.

• Finally, Foreign Policy, in “The America Issue,” featured a concise review of U.S. energy

consumption from Valclav Smil, one of the world’s foremost experts on energy, titled “A Hummer

in Every Driveway.” Smil opens, “The problems that ail the U.S. economy and American society

are one and the same: Both consume too much and refuse to make badly needed changes. This is

true above all in the realm of energy. The United States doesn't need exotic biofuels or balloon-

borne wind turbines. Its real problems are wasteful private energy use and the near-total absence of

effective, down-to-earth, long-term policies.”

• Many commodity prices have risen in recent months amid rising demand and uncertainty

regarding the Euro debt crisis.

– WTI Crude is trading above $100 per barrel, approaching its one-year high of $113.93.
