A= number of recent announcements hint at some long term changes in the way t= he energy industry will look 15 years from now. International Fuel Cells = have announced that Woking, UK will be the home of the first commercial fue= l cell in the UK (for more information on this story see the article below)= , and Puget Sound Energy is extending their conservation program that take= s advantage of real-time pricing for consumers. It would seem that the lon= g-promised benefits of fuel cells are turning the corner and are beginning = to offer a viable commercial alternative. Consumers are soon to be faced w= ith even more options on where they get their power from, and with the incr= easingly ability of utilities to pass on the real costs and benefits of the= ir power choices, their choice will be an important one. It opens up a wor= ld where consumers will develop a relationship with their power supplier as= they're forced to look at where they get their power from and when they us= e it.

It would seem that while cross U= S-Canadian energy trading is developing apace, there are still a number of = hurdles on both sides of the fence to be overcome.

And what does i= t mean for exchanges like HoustonStreet and RedMeteor that have been strugg= ling of late? There's a lot of talk about consolidation and it seems to be= picking up steam... On a final note, you probably know that the Eyeforen= ergy team is going to be down in New Orleans next week for our Energy Excha= nges Online II event.
