Second, I think that it is big news that Range Fuels got the go ahead from Georgia to produce ethanol from biomass.

As a matter of fact, that story is in my pending list of top energy stories of the year. Perhaps I should open up the debate as well to top energy stories. A number of them will be on the list above: Oil prices, Peak Oil awareness, but then some of the others that I have on my short list - like Range Fuels and the announcement on the Chevy Volt - are not. What do readers consider to be major energy stories for the year?

Thanks, RR

Hi Robert,

I guess I was thinking of liquid fuel news as oil news. I appreciate your distinction though.
