Tide Is Shifting n US Exports
Washington Post – Dec 26, 2007
a business based in suburban Cincinnati that makes chemicals used in laboratory testing has transformed itself to meet that demand. Not long ago its small cadre of chemists lab technicians and stock employees did all of their work for a huge domestic firm that needed high-purity solvents for laboratory use. The business model was crafted by Tedia’s late founder Moon Su Park a chemical engineer who launched the company in 1975. It worked well for 15 years but left the new generation of company executives worried that the firm’s fate was in the hands of one big client. Back in 1990 “90 percent of our business was under someone else’s name. That is not the kind of position you want to be in as a company” said Tedia President Hoon Choi. That’s when Tedia decided to look abroad… “For us the fact that countries such as China and India are building so much infrastructure is why they are a growth market” said Jason Cooper a Richards vice president voicing a view shared by the Bush administration and many Republicans.

The firm’s sophisticated valves outfitted with special controls at the company’s plant are critical to processes at places including refineries and petrochemical plants which turn out products from fuel to the plastic used to wrap shirts. “Businesses are getting behind exports and we are becoming a major major exporter” said Commerce Secretary Carlos M. “We’ve got to keep that going. “But on the Democratic side free-trade agreements and other efforts aimed at liberalizing international trade have come under fire.
Tech could reduce coal facilities’ emissions
USA Today – Dec 26, 2007
— From the top of a hill here in coal country you can see distant swells of smoke curling up from coal-fired power plants along the flat horizon. Even here in a town of only 348 residents a small coal plant has operated off and on since World War II. But that plant might soon be replaced by a new kind of coal plant one that could signal a critical turning point in the future of coal and how the United States reconciles its conflicting energy and environmental needs… “We’ll watch (the Edwardsport project) with great interest but we don’t have the luxury of working through the technology evolution” Denis says. Is coal a necessary evil? Howard Herzog principal research engineer for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Energy Initiative says coal which already generates 50% of the nation’s electricity is here to stay — like it or not. “Coal is abundant and cheap and we have increasing energy demand” he says “We can wish all we want but people are going to do what it takes to keep the lights on. And that means coal. ” thers such as environmentalist John Blair who lives about an hour south of Edwardsport and is fighting the plant say more coal isn’t inevitable. “The plant is not needed because we have incredible (energy) efficiency potential in this state” Blair says.
