The United States has expanded its role in global energy markets with the launch of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, marking another step in the country’s growing influence as a major energy supplier. The Golden Pass facility, now the tenth LNG export terminal in the U.S., has begun shipping cargoes shortly after….

California’s natural gas market is entering a period of heightened pressure as supply limitations and shifting demand patterns continue to reshape pricing and reliability across the state. Unlike many other regions in the United States, California relies heavily on imported natural gas and operates with limited in-state storage and pipeline capacity. This structural dependence makes….

Natural gas prices surged across global markets this week following an attack that forced the shutdown of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. The disruption sparked immediate concern among energy traders and governments alike, pushing international gas benchmarks sharply higher as markets reacted to the sudden loss of supply. Despite the global….

The ongoing conflict involving Iran and responses by the U.S. and Israel have begun to reshape global energy markets, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies and prices taking center stage.

U.S. natural gas prices have shifted notably in recent months as winter weather patterns and global demand dynamics influence the market. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest outlooks, benchmark Henry Hub prices are expected to average around $3.90 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) through the winter season and rise further to about….

Japan has taken a major step in reviving its nuclear energy sector with the restart of Reactor No. 6 at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant — the first such restart by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The plant, located in Niigata Prefecture and known as the world’s largest nuclear facility….

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced a major change in how it evaluates air pollution regulations, saying it will no longer assign a monetary value to the health benefits of reducing harmful pollution such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground-level ozone. Instead, the agency will focus only on the economic costs to industry when….

The race to develop nuclear fusion — a potentially limitless and clean source of power — is heating up, with China aggressively scaling up investment and research in ways that are forcing the United States to respond. Recent reporting highlights how Chinese government planners and scientists are pouring substantial resources into fusion science, aiming to….

As billions continue to pour into artificial intelligence and data center expansion, a quieter but critical challenge is coming into focus: the ability of the U.S. power grid to keep up. New analysis shows that in many regions, projected data center electricity demand is rapidly outpacing available spare grid capacity. Areas including PJM (Mid-Atlantic), Texas….

Natural gas prices in the United States have climbed sharply as colder-weather forecasts, rising export demand, and tighter supply dynamics converge ahead of the winter heating season. Futures recently reached levels not seen in several years. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural-gas prices paid by electric power plants are projected to rise….
