| Hello/Intro Gas Price Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. You've no doubt noticed by now gas prices are skyrocketing once again. With regular unleaded hitting more than 2-dollars-and-75-cents a gallon in some places in NH, driving a car is hitting consumers' wallets hard. The Energy Department recently released its outlook for the summer driving season. In 2005, the biggest shock to the supply system was Hurricane Katrina. The government report cautions even the mere threat of damaging hurricanes or tropical storms could cause further volatility in prices. |
| Intro Conversation Return to index of stories... |
Joining me to talk about the surge in gas prices and what's expected this summer: Massood Samii, an international petroleum expert who served with OPEC. He's currently Chairman of the International Business Department at of Southern New Hampshire University. Welcome. ** We've seen a gallon of gas has jumped 10 cents-per gallon in a week. Q What is the MAIN reason for such HIGH prices at the pump? Q IRAN is an OPEC member. What role has the escalating dispute between the US & Iran over Iran's nuclear program had on RISING prices? ** IRAN -- 4th largest oil exporter/ traders concerned about standoff disrupting shipments Q To what degree do GEOPOLITICAL concerns impact GAS PRICES? Q In Washington.Some senators blame BIG OIL for the increase. Does the blame lay there? Q Does BIG OIL have ANY power to fix prices??? Q Who SETS prices? Traders on NY Mercantile Exchange set prices. Q What Explains the price Increase? Q We're seeing a phase-out of the fuel additive MTBE -- Is that impacting PRICES at all? Q In EUROPE up to $6 a gallon. We may have record hi prices in US -- but, it's LOWER than in many countries. In Europe some cities paying nearly 3 times more than US. WHY? Q Where is the CEILING for US Motorists? $4 a gallon/$5 a gallon. ** Last Sept.avg price peaked at 3.07/ due to Hurricane Katrina. Expect volatility in prices during busy summer driving season. Q How much of an impact will rising ENERGY costs have on our economic picture? |

Many small communities across the country are scrambling to meet phase-2 guidelines of the Clean Water Act. So UNH hydrologists Tom Ballestero and Rob Roseen created the UNH Stormwater Center. It's the only facility of its kind in the country dedicated to providing research to help communities improve their stormwater management systems to clean and capture stormwater and return it to the underground reservoirs rather than polluting nearby waterways. Outlook's Chip Neal first visited the center in November. |
