      <title>Despite Keystone Setbacks, Canadian Oil Sands Continues to Thrive, a "Navigating the Currents of Change" Webcast on Industrialinfo.com</title>

      <description><![CDATA[SUGAR LAND--February 3, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--One of the biggest energy-related stories in the news has been the denial by President Obama of the permit for <a href="http://financialmarkets.industrialinfo.com/industrialinfo./quote?Symbol=trp" target="_blank">TransCanada's (TSX:TRP)</a> Keystone XL pipeline project.  The Keystone XL <a href="http://www.industrialinfo.com/marketcoverage.jsp?pagerequest=marketcoverage03" target="_blank">pipeline</a> was proposed to bring sour crude oil from the Canadian oil sands down to Gulf Coast refineries in Texas.  The news of the denial was definitely a shock, especially as the administration had several weeks remaining to continue to evaluate the plans.  In this case, politics may have superseded the best interest of the American people.  The permit was not denied because of the merits of the project, but because Congress had attempted to strongarm the president to make a decision on the project with legislation inserted into the payroll tax bill.<br><br>

      <description><![CDATA[SUGAR LAND--January 26, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In BP's recently released "Energy Outlook 2030," analysts estimate that in 2030, approximately 81% of the world's energy will come from fossil fuel sources.  While renewable energy remains the fastest-growing sector, BP estimates that renewable sources of energy will meet only about 6% of the world's energy needs by 2030.  Among the fossil fuels that will be the main source of global energy consumption, natural gas is the fastest growing segment. One of the biggest contributors to the rise of natural gas--and certainly one of the biggest game-changers to hit the energy market in the past several years--is the ability to extract natural gas from shale plays.<br><br>
One of the most important of these shale plays is the Marcellus, which lies under portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Maryland.  Experts have estimated that the Marcellus Shale could hold up to 1,600 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.  In this week's "Navigating the Currents of Change" webcast, Jesus Davis, Industrial Info's vice president of research for the Oil & Gas <a href="http://www.industrialinfo.com/marketcoverage.jsp?pagerequest=marketcoverage04" target="_blank">Production</a>, <a href="http://www.industrialinfo.com/marketcoverage.jsp?pagerequest=marketcoverage03" target="_blank">Transmission</a> and <a href="http://www.industrialinfo.com/marketcoverage.jsp?pagerequest=marketcoverage02" target="_blank">Terminals</a> industries, discusses why the Marcellus is such an important asset to the U.S. and global energy markets.<br><br>
