To honor Dr. Daniel (Dan) Fine’s legacy, San Juan College Foundation, Four Corners Economic Development and T. Greg Merrion of Merrion Oil and Gas have partnered to establish a memorial endowment in his name.

Fine was a longtime champion of Four Corners energy development and production and a supporter of 4CED. He died unexpectedly Sept. 26, 2022 in Florida at the age of 88, due to complications from a surgical procedure.

Fine periodically traveled to Farmington and San Juan College to provide informational briefings on energy markets, regulatory policy and geopolitics.

A news release from 4CED said, “So much of what Dr. Fine had to share has proven correct. This includes new Four Corners energy developments like liquefied natural gas and hydrogen development that he addressed in his last 2022 community briefing.”

In addition to energy, Fine had a passion to support young entrepreneurs, according to the news release. He often visited with the startup companies at the San Juan College Enterprise Center.

The new endowment will support entrepreneurs with business plan development expenses or other incidental expenses associated with helping get a new business up and running.

Grants will be administrated by 4CED, with funds held in trust by the San Juan College Foundation. The endowment is soliciting additional gifts in memory of Fine. These tax-deductible gifts should be directed to Gayle Dean, San Juan College Foundation director.

FINE 

DR. DANIEL FINE 

Dr. Daniel Fine unexpectantly passed away Monday, September 26, 2022, at Aventura Hospital, Aventura Florida. Dan Fine was a great American patriot. Our nation lost a real hero at 88. 

Daniel Fine predicted the end of nations. He predicted the Fall of the Soviet Union in the cold war in his seminal work Resource War in 3-D. This was a major assessment in the raw materials sector of U.S. national security and foreign policy. He redefined the Cold War. In a meeting with William De Clerk, then President of South Africa, Dr. Fine predicted that apartheid would fall. Dr. Fine helped win as well from the Yeltsin Government the contract for the second largest copper mine in the world, Udokan. Three American Presidents got to know Dr. Fine, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and Joe Biden. Through interviews, tours of MIT, and campaign stops. He knew President Reagan in briefings and many of his administrative offices. 

Daniel Irwin Fine came into the world on Tuesday, June 12, 1934, in New Jersey. The firstborn son of Bill and Eve Fine. He would see his future wife, Helen Fine, at nine years of age in a movie in Hudson NY. Not knowing her yet, as the most beautiful blonde girl in the movie. She became his wife for 65 years of marriage and the love of his life. Helen Fine passed away from Cancer on March 1, 2022. Daniel Fine was a proud soldier in the Army during the Korean Conflict. He used the GI Bill to pay for his college. 

Returning to America, he attended Georgetown University. He was a Gold Key candidate and top of his class. His first degree was in Foreign Service. 

He went on to the University of Florida to get his Ph.D. under the legendary Manning J. Dauer to study and teach political science. Dr. Fine became a pioneer in African studies and furthered greatly the civil rights movement in the south. Professor Clem Cottingham was a lifetime friend and leader in the civil rights movement. Professor Cottingham invited Daniel and the whole Fine family to write a study on African politics for the Ford Foundation while living in Nairobi, Kenya. 

At Harvard University, he was honored by the University as a lifelong Harvard Fellow. At MIT he led the Mining and Minerals Resources Institute with Professor John Elliot and later Professor John Sadoway to create new educational/business technology ventures. While at MIT he published in the International Outlook of Busines Week. He wrote exclusively for the Washington Times; Midland Reporter Telegram, Engineering and Mining Journal, and the Farmington Daily Times. He spoke at Tuft’s Fletcher School for Law and Diplomacy many times and had a room reserved in his honor. Daniel Fine authored, lastly, the state of New Mexico Energy Policy in effect today. Dan Fine’s actions transcended the times. He was sui generis. One of a kind. At the last, he heard the music of Wagner’s Rienzi 

“The Golden orb your heart impressed.” Services previously held.

World Expert Dr. Daniel Fine on Russia’s war with the west: where will it go? Please share the video below->

A new Marshall plan & End the war with Russia now

Dr Daniel Fine, MIT and Harvard University Fellow.

Author of Resource War in 3D which President Ronald Reagan read and utilized to prevail in the cold war in his first term in office.

writes “A Marshall Plan approach to a condition of war or the threat of war
is likely with intervention in non-Russia natural gas supply made up
as the United States supplies Europe for most of its requirement.
This would be financial and exploration support or participation.
Current references to the making of international rule-making
by the United States with its Allies is expected in a Diplomacy process. The Permian-Delaware
Basin exploration and production of oil and natural gas
under this war condition period planning assumes private domestic ownership
and control of oil and gas an industry in the United States.”

Increasing Natural Gas Trade Between the U.S and Mexico

The Heritage Foundation Background Paper

Increasing Natural Gas Trade Between the U.S and Mexico

July 1, 2019 22 min read Download Report

Authors: Dr. Daniel Fine, Ph.D and Nicolas Loris

 

SUMMARY

Increased energy trade has important economic and strategic significance for the United States and Mexico. Mexico’s energy-market reforms that opened access and improved natural gas trade between American producers and Mexican consumers have been beneficial for citizens in both countries. President López Obrador’s desire to return to energy nationalism threatens those gains. Both the U.S. and Mexico should commit to policies and regulations that continue to open access to markets, improve transparency, and expand opportunities for investment. Doing so will benefit both Americans and Mexicans.

Energy expert: New Mexico oil production has lessened potential for war

A must read! -> 2/11/2019 Hobbs News Sun | Sunday, February 10, 2019 | 7
Energy expert: New Mexico oil production has
lessened potential for war
CURTIS C. WYNNE NEWS-SUN

County ranks third in the nation in oil production.

Lea and Eddy counties have made history by reducing the possibility of a

Middle Eastern war for oil, according to Daniel Fine, a research and

development energy expert at New Mexico Tech.

Why? Because oil and gas production eliminates this nation’s need to rely on

the Middle East for fossil fuel.

Having served in developing former Gov. Susana Martinez’s energy policy and

in the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Fine said he’s

currently writing an energy paper for a Washington, D.C. think tank.

“What has happened now, with President Trump’s policies and the

(Department of) Interior policies under (David) Bernhardt, is the chance of the

United States getting into a Middle East war to protect its interests in oil supply

and imports has evaporated, finished,” Fine said.

He dated the potential for war in the Middle East over oil as early as the 1970s.

“We have almost 50 years of tension and potential military participation in the

Middle East to provide us with imported oil from there,” Fine said. “The two

counties in New Mexico have eliminated this and have now played an important

role in peacemaking…” See the link below->
