You may think that being an energy executive—especially a manager in a leading oil company—might be the easiest job around. Just flip the production switch, and watch gas prices head toward $4 a gallon.
But students enrolled in Harvard Business School professor Forest Reinhardts course on the energy industry come away with a quite different perspective on the strategic and management challenges confronting energy executives today.
As demand continues to soar, where will new oil reserves be found? What bets are to be placed by industry leaders on alternative energy sources such as solar and wind? How will local residents feel about windmill farms on their horizon? What effects will regulators have on the energy industry in the future? What unexpected opportunities or obstacles will pop up along the way?

For the first time, an energy audit is an outside agency to examine whether the 210 MW Thermal Power Plant Bandel must be renovated.
This quarter-century-old unit, perhaps the oldest in the country, production has been significantly less energy lost, as its cost-effectiveness.
For him again, the Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM) has been invited to contribute to the achievement of an energy audit and suggest ways to minimize loss of generation.
A 10-member IISWBM team, under the leadership of its director Ashoke Dutta, implementation of the study. There will be a report from the West Bengal Power Development
Pune, February 16: RANKING India as a developed country with regard to nuclear fuel, the Atomic Energy Commission president Dr Anil Kakodkar today urged the nuclear industry to improve existing technologies such that nuclear power was the best source of energy for the country.
It provides the Swatantryaveer Sawarkar Memorial lecture at the University of Pune's Defence and Strategic Studies Division. Vice-Chancellor Dr Ashok Kolaskar, head of the division Srikant M. Paranjape, and others were present.

A Course in MBA in Energy Management might start at the Energy Research Centre, Panjab University, from next year. At present the feasibility of the course is being worked out.
Honorary Director of the centre Dr V K Rattan says that there are a number of other projects in the pipeline as well. The centre in collaboration with KTH, Sweden, and IIT have submitted a project to produce fuel cells. This involves the process of hydrogenation (separating hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy). The hydrogen obtained would be used as fuel. Dr Rattan says that this could be helpful in

A two-week short-term training programme on emerging technologies in energy management with special emphasis on the recent advances in non-conventional energy sources began at the School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), here today.
The programme titled `Energy 2004' is being organised by the Electrical Engineering Division, CUSAT, for professionals and teachers of engineering colleges.
Inaugurating the programme, R.V.G. Menon, former director of ANERT, said that the availability of fossil fuel would decline in five to 10 years.

FROM A traditional classroom situation, learning now has taken other routes, distance for one and e-learning for another. Paucity of time, logistics, cost factor, the need to acquire knowledge etc., have been responsible for institutions devising new ways of teaching to cater to the demands of the growing population.
Along with the three modes of learning mentioned, there is now the Interactive Onsite Learning (IOL) which is fast catching on, understanding the compulsions of the generation next.
Simply put, it is a combination of all the three modes of learning. It has a classroom ambience except that the teacher is on a
