GM, Honda to collaborate on fuel cell vehicles
NEW YORK — General Motors Co. and Honda Motor Co. are joining forces to develop hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
The two companies said Tuesday they plan to develop new hydrogen storage and fuel cell technologies by 2020. They will also push for more hydrogen fueling stations.
Fuel cell vehicles have electric motors that are powered by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The only byproducts are water vapor and heat, so there’s no pollution. But the lack of infrastructure to transport and store liquid hydrogen has been a barrier to the cars’ development.
GM and Honda already have more than 1,200 fuel cell patents between them, and both companies have experimental vehicle fleets.
Ford, Daimler and Renault-Nissan announced a similar plan to collaborate on hydrogen vehicles earlier this year.

Solar panels are installed in Arlington, Ariz. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)RENO, Nev. (AP) — Technology giant Apple Inc. will pay for construction of an 18-megawatt photovoltaic solar plant in northern Nevada.
The Fort Churchill Solar Array, to be built in Yerington, was included in a filing Monday by NV Energy Inc. with the Public Utilities Commission outlining the utilities integrated resource plan.
Apple last year announced plans to build a data center east of Reno. The solar generating plant will be located south of that in Lyon County.
Tax breaks: Exxon’s tax bill outweighs tech giant Apple’s
The company says the solar project will provide renewable energy for the data center and add clean energy to the local power grid.
The proposal is the first under a new program that allows electricity customers to buy more renewable energythan required under state portfolio standards without affecting rates of other customers on the grid.

A federal judge handed the oil industry a big win on Tuesday, when he tossed out a new financial disclosure rule that would require companies to reveal what they pay foreign governments in exchange for mineral rights.
In vacating the disclosure rule and sending it back to the Securities and Exchange Commission, District Judge John Bates said the regulation spurred by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law had “serious” problems.
“The commission misread the statute to mandate public disclosure of the reports,” Bates said, adding that the SEC also acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it opted against providing any exemption for cases where foreign governments bar the disclosures.
Forcing companies to reveal foreign payments in other countries, even when those nations bar such disclosure, “drastically increased the rule’s burden on competition and cost to investors,” Bates found.
The SEC’s transparency rule, adopted last August, required some 1,100 publicly traded oil, gas and mining companies to report payments exceeding $100,000 made to other countries “to further the commercial development” of the host nations’ resources.

Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., and former Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., led the charge to get the requirement added to the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. Human rights groups, led by Oxfam America, say such disclosures are essential to discourage graft, expose bribes and deter corruption in resource-rich nations where oil and mineral wealth isn’t trickling down.
But the oil industry, led by the American Petroleum Institute, has argued the requirement to provide financial details for specific projects rather than whole countries at a time would give their rivals a competitive advantage, since similar disclosure isn’t required for foreign state-owned oil companies or privately held U.S. firms.
Harry Ng, API’s vice president and general counsel, called Tuesday’s decision “a win for American jobs, for our economy and for international transparency.”
Ng said the SEC rule, if left intact, would have jeopardized “transparency efforts already underway,” including the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, which is being implemented in 36 countries.
And Karen Harbert, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy, said the SEC missed an opportunity to simply require companies to file confidential reports, rather than insisting on public disclosure.
“The SEC’s ‘extraction rule’ would have placed American oil and natural gas companies at a huge disadvantage around the world by forcing them to turn over their playbooks for how they bid and compete against foreign, state owned companies,” Harbert said.
But Ian Gary, Oxfam’s senior policy manager, said the court got it wrong — particularly when it came to the question of whether to allow exemptions in some countries with contradictory bans on payment disclosure.
“Despite the court’s conclusions, the SEC balanced the potential costs and benefits of granting exemptions,” Gary said. “The decision that exemptions weren’t warranted is adequately supported by analysis, and the oil industry has never been able to clearly show the existence of host country prohibitions against payment disclosure.”
The rule now goes back to the SEC, which could add an exemption or choose to reenact a similar measure with additional justification. Gary noted that nothing in the court’s decision says the SEC can’t require public reporting while denying exemptions; “it just says that the SEC needs to use its discretion and provide a fuller analysis.”
The SEC or Oxfam — which intervened in the case — might seek to appeal the decision to a higher federal court. Gary said the human rights group was considering its options.
The lawsuit challenging the SEC rule was brought by the API, the Chamber of Commerce and two other trade groups.

Posted: 2013-03-17, 11:22AM PDTEdited: 2013-03-17, 11:22AM PDTemail to a friendSteelmakers file U.S. trade case seeking duties on oil pipes
A group of oil-pipe makers led by United States Steel Corp. filed a U.S. trade complaint against competitors in nine nations, alleging goods from those countries were sold in the U.S. market below cost and, in some cases, benefited from government subsidies.
The U.S. coalition made the complaint with the International Trade Commission today in Washington. Countries named in the complaint are India, Korea, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam. U.S. Steel and Tenaris SA rose in New York.
Producers including U.S. Steel won U.S. duties averaging 86 percent on Chinese pipes used in oil and gas wells, after complaining in a similar case brought in 2009 that they were being hurt by below-market prices for Chinese products. The latest case, if successful, would be a “landmark record win for the U.S. steel industry” because it would create a defense against imported oil-pipe products, said Michelle Applebaum, managing partner at consultant Steel Market Intelligence in Chicago.
The case “should be bullish for everybody who makes sheet steel,” Applebaum said by phone today. U.S. Steel, the second- largest U.S. steelmaker by sales, stands to gain the most and all suppliers of oil country tubular goods, or OCTG pipes, should benefit, she said.
The case would also help protect domestic producers from below-market “transhipped” products originally produced in China and imported to the U.S. via another country, she said.
Nucor Corp., the biggest U.S. steel producer by sales, would also benefit if the case is successful, Applebaum said.
U.S. Steel, which got 43 percent of its 2012 operating income from its tubular division, rose 8.3 percent, the most since Jan. 2, to close at $19.25 a share in New York. Luxembourg-based Tenaris’s American depositary receipts, each worth two ordinary shares, gained 9.1 percent, to $44.79.

Gasoline prices falling ahead of July 4
Gasoline prices have fallen to a five-month low in advance of the busy July 4 travel week, but pump prices on Independence Day will still be the third highest recorded on the holiday, AAA said Tuesday.
Though gasoline prices remain high – at a national average of $3.48 for a gallon of regular on Tuesday – they have fallen for 20 straight days because refineries are producing fuel at high levels, AAA said. The average price for a gallon of gasoline in Houston is $3.32, according to AAA.
Refiners have built up the largest supply in decades at the end of June, said Andrew Lipow, president of Houston-based consulting firm Lipow Oil Associates.
Fuel Savings: How Texas drivers can save $2.28 a gallon for fuel
Gasoline stockpiles are up 10 percent from a year ago and the nation’s more than 225 million barrels of gasoline inventory is the highest level since 1992, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
“Gasoline prices are probably going to fall another 2 to 3 cents a gallon (this week)
and then maybe another total of 5 to 7 cents over the next couple of weeks, but the outlook is for pretty stable gasoline supplies given that inventories” are high, Lipow said.
Though analysts expect average national gasoline prices to continue a modest decline, high world oil prices will likely keep prices from falling precipitously, AAA said.
Fuel prices: Lower summer gasoline prices in forecast
“Gas prices remain high and may not drop too much further in July because crude oil remains relatively expensive,” AAA spokesman Avery Ash said in a statement. “Factors such as increased summertime demand and the impending hurricane season also could result in higher pump prices for motorists.”
AAA estimates that 34.4 million Americans will hit the roads to travel more than 50 miles from home in automobiles during the holiday period beginning July 3 and ending July 7. That’s down slightly from a year ago, when an estimated 34.7 million Americans traveled by automobile for July 4, AAA said.
