Inflation rate 4.7%
Electricity demand up 21% in 2007
Electricity supply up 18%
Oil production consistently over target in 2007 (2.4 million barrels per day vs target of 2.1)

#3 An amendment proposed by Senator Kennedy to the 2008 defense authorization bill would raise the SIV cap to 5,000 over the next five years.
