Claims that natural gas stoves are harming residential health are unrealistic and undermining decision-making aimed toward protecting human health, according to a recent report published by Catalyst Environmental Solutions (CES) and commissioned by the California Restaurant Association and the California Building Industry Association. The analysis finds natural gas is, “not a significant determinant of residential
While the Biden administration consistently claims it has made emissions reduction a significant priority, its actions behind the scenes with permitting delays, a rapid decline in oil and natural gas leases, and other regulatory roadblocks tell a different story. These backlogs are obstructing growth across the energy value chain and preventing progress on the very
Mandated retirements of thermal generation and a backlogged review process for new entries on the grid is hurting PJM Interconnection’s ability to meet growing demand through 2030 and threatening reliability in the nation’s largest interconnected market, according to a recently published PJM report. The solution: more natural gas and renewables. Natural Gas To Support Renewables
Methane emissions continue to decrease in the United States, according to data in the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2023 draft Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks (GHGI). Even as the industry sets production records, methane emissions from petroleum and natural gas systems have continued their downward trend –nearly 9 percent since 2005 and 4
After the Biden administration claimed for months that the oil and gas industry was sitting on 9,000 unused permits to drill – and consequently, holding back domestic production – Politico reported that the “9,000 permits” figure is based on faulty data. Allegedly, the discrepancy was caused by issues with the Department of Interior’s record keeping,
The United States is uniquely poised to fill the natural gas gap in Europe using existing infrastructure, while helping the bloc meet their climate targets, according to a recent International Energy Agency report. The report, which focuses on the natural gas supply-demand balance of the European Union in 2023, underscores the shifting supply and demand
IER: U.S. Oil and Gas Production is the Answer to Economic Security and a Greener Future Efforts to restrict oil and gas production in the United States could “yield perverse impacts on the global environment,” according to a recent Institute for Energy Research report by the Institute for Energy Research (IER). Specifically, researchers found evidence
Environmental groups and electrification supporters are working with local government officials to pass natural gas bans in their communities, according to new emails uncovered by Energy Policy Advocates and reported by The Washington Times. The emails shed light on the national campaign and coordination behind the scenes as anti-natural gas activists have targeted government officials
The domestic oil and natural gas industry provides the United States and our allies with essential American energy to fuel everyday needs. But as EID has covered in the past, the industry provides more than just clean and reliable energy – it also propels states’ economies forward by funding services like education, transportation, and workforce
U.S. oil and natural gas is helping Europe stave off supply shortages as more Russian sanctions take effect this month. American energy exports of liquified natural gas and crude oil will continue playing a key role in stabilizing Europe by filling the “energy gap” left by Russian imports. While U.S. energy exports will help Europe
Major domestic oil and natural gas companies have published their fourth quarter and full-year earnings results, and the reports show an industry committed to meeting global energy demand while reducing emissions during a tumultuous year. The energy sector is a cyclical business, and companies’ record profits come on the heels of record losses incurred in
Natural gas has proven to be an essential resource to deliver reliable, on-demand energy to consumers during extreme weather events. In the most recent event, Winter Storm Elliot, natural gas power generation supported intermittent renewable energy sources and supplied residents with the space heating needed to weather the extended freeze. Despite this, state and local
It’s only been a week since Naomi Oreskes and Geoffrey Supran entered back into the chat with a new “Exxon Knew” study, and, like their past work as part of this campaign, the cracks are already beginning to show. A deeper look at the latest study has led to questions regarding the methodology used by
Authors of a recent study that has been touted by activists, the U.S. Energy Secretary and in media outlets across the country as justification for the Consumer Product Safety Commission to enact a federal gas stove ban have been forced to admit that their study does not actually find a causal link between using a
Two of the main drivers of the #ExxonKnew campaign are back with yet another study, this time crediting the company for being on target with climate model predictions. These are claims that activists have seized on for years, going back to at least 2019, so the report mentions very little new information and even acknowledges
