The Energy Information Administration released its Short-Term and Winter Fuels Outlook and finds:
- the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil to average about $83 per barrel this winter (October 1 to March 31).
- regular-grade motor gasoline retail prices to average $2.84 per gallon this winter
- Natural gas working inventories have reached more than 3.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which is about the same as last year's record-setting level for the underground storage quantity at the end of October.
- average household expenditures for space-heating fuels will total $965 this winter, about the same as last year.

The G20 Seoul Summit
This statment fromt he G20 meeting includes goals regarding energy and climate change:
On climate change: "We reaffirm the objective, provisions, and the principles of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities."
On energy: "We reaffirm our commitment to rationalize and phase-out over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption, with timing based on national circumstances, while providing targeted support for the poorest. We direct our Finance and Energy Ministers to report back on the progress made in implementing country-specific strategies and in achieving the goals to which we agreed in Pittsburgh and Toronto at the 2011 Summit in France.
On the marine environment: We welcome the progress achieved by the Global Marine Environment Protection (GMEP) initiative toward the goal of sharing best practices to protect the marine environment, to prevent accidents related to offshore exploration and development, as well as marine transportation, and to deal with their consequences.

Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey Report
This Report dated September 29, 2010, provides an in-depth look at this building type as reported in the 2003 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey. Office buildings are the most common type of commercial building and they consumed more than 17 percent of all energy in the commercial buildings sector in 2003. This special report provides characteristics and energy consumption data by type of office building (e.g. administrative office, government office, medical office) and information on some of the types of equipment found in office buildings: heating and cooling equipment, computers, servers, printers, and photocopiers."
