The Un-Comfort Zone #20 • The Buck Starts Here

January 2010 -- General

The Un-Comfort Zone #20 - The Buck Starts Here

Recently I participated in a Murder Mystery weekend at a bed and breakfast lodge. Every guest was a given a role to play. There were eight suspects; each of whom had one or more of the following: Means, Opportunity and Motive. Having the Means and Opportunity was very important, but having the right Motivation was the key to solving the puzzle.

ACC members, click here to read the remainder of this column.

The Un-Comfort Zone with Robert Wilson is a monthly column that explores the many aspects of motivation, from inspiring others (employees, customers, volunteers, even family members), to self-motivation -- which is especially important in today's economy. Everyone, at some time or another, needs to motivate themselves or others. The Un-Comfort Zone talks about how motivation works and how to apply it in a variety of situations.

The Un-Comfort Zone is offered as member-only content for ACC members, as part of our monthly Members Update newsletter.

2010 Summit of the West

January 2010 -- General

2010 Summit of the West

I had the pleasure of spending the past few days in the company of a motivated, dynamic, and very interesting group of business and thought leaders, all of whom share an interest in promoting the ability of the western states to achieve and move forward.

Jim Simms, Holly Propst, Michelle Hindmarch, and the staff of the Western Business Roundtable (WBRT) did a stellar job of bringing together such a diverse group. And with the generally negative tenor of news and comment in today's media, it was a genuinely refreshing change of pace to see representatives from industry, government, academia, NGOs, and the public all coming together to achieve the common goal of promoting the economic, environmental, and social well-being of the western states.

National Coal Council Report: Low-Carbon Coal

January 2010 -- General

National Coal Council Report - Low-Carbon Coal

The just released 2009 National Coal Council Report, "LOW-CARBON COAL: MEETING U.S. ENERGY, EMPLOYMENT AND CO2 EMISSION GOALS WITH 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES" is a treasure trove of information and updates on the state of the North American Coal Industry and coal-based energy.

The study reviews essential low-carbon energy options like CCS and how they can be (and are being) implemented. Also considered are costs and timelines for commercial development of CCS, how existing generation assets can be retrofitted with CCS and other efficiency improving upgrades, specific technologies for the capture and storage of CO₂, as well as coal beneficiation, and underground coal gasification . The study also tackles the legal and regulatory issues that must be addressed to ensure CCS can move forward and then considers the role of the United States as a technology leader in the development and deployment of clean coal technologies.

NIMBY Wars

October 2009 -- General

NIMBY Wars

What do you do when your development project encounters a "NIMBY" (not in my backyard), "CAVE," or "BANANA" mindset? How do you respond to a well-organized, well-funded, well-connected, and very effective anti-development campaign?

ACC Member, Saint Consulting has compiled more than 25 years of direct "in the trenches" experience in the land use and planning arena, in a soon-to-be-released book -- or should I say "text book" -- for those involved in land use decisions.

With several other projects on the go, I have only had time to scratch the surface of this book, but it is clear -- even in the early stages -- that the authors have a wealth of information to share. The authors' experience in "more than 1,500 high-stakes real estate development battles" around the world, can provide the hands-on knowledge that proponents of development need to succeed.

Watch the ACC website, Book Reviews section, for our review of this interesting and informative new book -- set for public release on October 28^th.

Pre-release ordering information for NIMBY Wars is available at www.nimbywars.com.

2009 Coal Ash Economic Assessment Update

July 2009 -- General

2009 Coal Ash Economic Assessment Update

About the Economic Assessment

In 2005, the American Coal Council (ACC) published the first extensive study of the economic impact of coal ash utilization in the United States. The 128-page report examined the production and use of coal combustion products including fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and synthetic FGD gypsum. The study identified more than $2.2 billion in annual direct economic impact from the use of the products in a variety of construction and manufacturing applications, as well as a total economic impact of nearly $4.5 billion annually.

About the Update

Since the 2005 report was published, utilization of coal combustion products has increased significantly. Additionally, regulatory scrutiny of coal ash disposal has increased on both the state and Federal levels, with new Federal regulations expected to be proposed by the end of 2009. Climate change legislation now moving through Congress may also affect the future value of coal ash, which can be used to offset emission of greenhouse gases. These factors, among others, have prompted the ACC to undertake an update and expansion of the 2005 report that is scheduled for publication in the Fall of 2009.

Click here or on the report cover for more information on the report, John Ward (the report author), advance sales and sponsorship options.

Note: The Charter Sponsorship and Pre-publication subscription purchase date has been extended to July 10^th.

2009 Coal Market Strategies Conference

Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort
Lake Las Vegas, NV
October 12-14, 2009

Today's coal industry is subject to increasing scrutiny and unprecedented demands from legislators, environmental groups, shareholders and the general public. Rapidly changing legislative realities have even the most seasoned Beltway insiders struggling to keep up, and could soon have energy prices "skyrocketing." Business resources are being stretched thin to address safety, environmental compliance, permitting, technology development, and infrastructure needs. Operations and construction costs remain high after spikes brought on by last year's increases in global demand for labor, steel, petroleum products and engineering services. However, supply dynamics are in a state of flux with changes in pricing structures and the global economic downturn impacting overall energy demand. When it comes to energy and commodity markets, we are living in interesting times.

CMS 09 attendees will have the opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of the industry's most pressing issues, including legislative and regulatory changes and how these factors interact to affect decisions regarding mine and power plant development, fuel sourcing and strategic planning.

Industry Reports: Green jobs push predicted to cost more jobs than it creates

April 2009 -- General
Industry Reports: Green jobs not all they're held up to be

A just-released report from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, subtitled "Lessons from the Spanish Renewables Bubble," makes a strong case that the push to create millions of "green jobs" could have a profound negative economic impact. The study authors argue that Spanish policies, which have been held up as a reference case for American policies, have actually cost 2.2 jobs in other industries for every job they created.

This study mirrors the findings of the University of Illinois Law & Economics Research Paper (No. LE09-001), titled "Green Jobs Myths," which argues that the concept of "green jobs" is, at best, ambiguous and actually relies heavily on temporary administrative, construction, and bureaucratic jobs that produce no goods for consumption. Additionally, study authors contend that the push for more jobs rather than efficiency, ensures that the jobs created will pay lower wages and force workers into less desirable conditions. Furthermore, the studies which promote green jobs are criticized as having relied on poor economic models and information and "dubious assumptions."

Read this study and others in our Industry Reports section.
