Some see energy in abandoned wells
Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 02:28 J. Stephen Conn / Creative Commons An oil well in Texas. Marketplace Morning Report for Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Jeremy Hobson: In the energy business there are renewables like wind and solar. And there are non-renewables -- like oil. Once you use up the oil that's in the well. That's it. Well, actually, a few researchers and entrepreneurs in Texas say that's not it. Andrew Oxford reports. Andrew Oxford: In his office at the University of Texas, geologist Bruce Cutright is pouring over maps and charts. Bruce Cutright: This is just a picture of the number of wells there are in Texas -- existing wells -- somewhere between 1.2 and 1.4 million. He is trying to show me what oil and gas companies usually don't see when their wells dry up. Those wells, Cutright says, are more than just holes in the ground. Cutright: As you drill deeper into the Earth, it gets hotter and hotter. By the time you're below 12,000 feet, you're encountering temperatures above ...

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski Stepping Down After Contentious Term: Reports
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski will announce on Friday that he is stepping down, according to multiple reports. Genachowski, who became chairman in 2009, has presided over an agency that has grappled with contentious issues like U.S. broadband policy, cable and telecom industry competition, and media consolidation.
