WSJ Links -- Not The Bakken

Section D: nada.

Section C:
  • Weak demand turns tables on potash firms.  Potash demand in 2012 is expected to be 9% lower than its peak in 2007.
Section B:
  • US electricity use on wane.  Counterintuitive. Interesting.
  • Zipcar: startup genius, public failure. That's what I thought. Sold to Avis. Hard to understand. Avis way to compete directly with Enterprise? 
  • Al Gore: $100 million personally in sale of Current TV to Al-Jazeera; the deal didn't close before December 31, 2012; bad news for Al. Higher tax rate for folks earning more than .... well, for folks earning this much anyway ...
  • US car sales to zoom past Europe's
  • Several articles in WSJ and other places recently suggesting drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico is ready to explode (figuratively) this year; big article today also
