Like the U.S.,Europe is deciding how big of a role natural gas will play in securing the continent's energy future. Strict regulation of carbon emissions figure prominently in Europe's decision, but so does the reliability of gas from its biggest supplier: Russia. Richard Morningstar, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s special envoy for Eurasian energy, offers his opinion on Russia's dependability.

Shale Gas Woes in Europe

Worries over hydraulic fracturing aren't limited to the U.S. Bulgaria just banned the practice, not long after France did so, as well. Envoy Morningstar, just back from Sofia, talks about Bulgaria's decision, and what that nation could learn from the U.S. experience with fracking.

For the first time in more than 60 years, fuel is the number-one U.S. export. Still, refineries on the East Coast are on the verge of shutting down, and the industry is facing growing competition from ethanol fuels. What's it all mean? Hear Charles Drevna, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufactories, the industry's lead trade group.
