John Hess, CEO of Hess Corp. We've moved from a supply-led market to a demand-led one.
In the past, the world has relied on OPEC's spare capacity,which in 1985 was 10 million barrels per day. Today that
number is about 2.5 million barrels a day. We no longer havea safety margin to ensure price stability in the face of supply
interruptions and demand spikes. Right now it's hard to seeany relief in sight. Then there's demand. About 50 percent of
oil demand is for transportation, and auto ownership in thedeveloping countries is growing swiftly, especially in India and
China. .. Put those two things together - limited supply and increasing demand - and you get high oil prices.

The worlds energy system is at a crossroads. Current globaltrends in energy supply and consumption are patently
unsustainable - environmentally, economically, socially. But thatcan - and must - be altered; theres still time to change the road
were on. It is not an exaggeration to claim that the future ofhuman prosperity depends on how successfully we tackle thetwo central energy challenges facing us today: securing the
supply of reliable and affordable energy; and effecting a rapid
transformation to a low-carbon, efficient and environmentallybenign system of energy supply. What is needed is nothing
short of an energy revolution.

What can I do as educator?
I think we have the responsibility to insist thateducation is more than learning job skills, that it isalso the bedrock of a democracy. I think we must be
very careful that in the race to become wealthier,
more prestigious, and to be ranked Number One,we don't lose sight of the real purpose of education,
which is to make people free - to give them thegrounding they need to think for themselves and
participate as intelligent members of a free society.
