If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

QatarEnergy notified Edison of five more cancelled LNG cargoes, extending its force majeure through mid-August. Total cancellations have reached 17 cargoes since April, representing roughly 2.2 bcm. Edison holds a 6.4 bcm/y long-term contract with QatarEnergy. Edison is partially replacing lost volumes with US LNG, including deliveries from Golden Pass, which are expected to start in June. We track US LNG feed gas daily. https://t.co/ebe2UWSayy #NatGas #LNG
7 Brew Coffee has expanded to >600 sites from just 14 in 2022
With development agreements in place to add ~2,500 more
But 7 Brew needs to enter and grow in markets where competitors like Dutch Bros $BROS and Starbucks $SBUX are long established
7 Brew’s unique real estate model centered around pre-fabricated, ~500 square foot “stands” is a key advantage
Though its real estate sourcing and use may need to be more creative and flexible to reach its growth targets
One option?
Turning to the adaptive reuse of existing structures--and even multi-tenant sites
One example is its proposed repurpose of a former carwash and convenience store building in Boise, ID
Instead of demolishing the car wash and porting in a pre-fab stand, 7 Brew plans to renovate the building and utilize the wash tunnel as its drive thru
This adaptive reuse offers 7 Brew path forward in a market with significant restrictions on new drive thrus
It also brings a co-tenancy opportunity as 7 Brew would only occupy ~1,000 sq ft of the building
The remaining ~3,500 sq ft can be leased to other uses and may bring "walk in" customers in addition to the drive thru traffic that 7 Brew typically courts
This unique 7 Brew is a first-of-its-kind adaptive reuse
And will likely be one of its first sites in the Boise market
Venture Global expanded the CP2 bolt-on to 12 mid-scale liquefaction trains and 10 MTPA (~1.4 Bcf/d), up from 8 trains and 6.4 MTPA disclosed in March. Target FID is early 2027, first production late 2028. FERC has waived the pre-filing requirement and long-lead equipment orders are already placed. #NatGas #LNG
$VG shipped 172 cargoes in the first 17 weeks of 2026, averaging 10.1/week - putting them on pace for ~525 cargoes annually, right at the top of their own 486–527 guidance range. Plaquemines is doing the heavy lifting at ~71% of total volume.
Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel joined @PowerLunch with @SullyCNBC on the sidelines of the 2026 Milken Conference to discuss the state of the global LNG market.
US #LNG developer @NextDecadeLNG expects to introduce gas into its Rio Grande LNG terminal in Texas in the second half of this year, according to Matt Schatzman, NextDecade chairman and CEO. #lngprime https://t.co/xQh85JqDfn
7/10 BEST days in the stock market happened within 2 weeks of 10 WORST days.
For example, worst day in 2020 (March 12) was immediately followed by best day of the year.
This is also what we just saw in the current market as it grew 12% within ~2 weeks after dropping 9% since end of Feb to March
The Coen brothers didn’t remake the John Wayne TRUE GRIT. They went back to Charles Portis’ novel and made a darker, funnier, far more faithful adaptation of the book.
🇺🇸 USLNG doesn’t go through the Strait of Hormuz, so looking for more cargos to load Gulf of America (Golden Pass startup, Venture Global, Cheniere, Freeport) and head to Europe if TTF sends the right price signal. 👀
Clint Eastwood insisted on playing the final bar‑room shootout in UNFORGIVEN as realistically as possible, so they avoided quick‑draw choreography and had him fire deliberate, ugly shots that emphasized William Munny’s grim efficiency.
Clint Eastwood bought the script for Unforgiven (1992) in the mid 70s. He purposely sat on the rights for over 15 years, waiting until he was physically old enough to believably play the washed up, weather beaten gunslinger William Munny.
🇺🇸 NextDecade is seeking permission to increase its peak workforce at Rio Grande LNG to 7,500 people and switch to a 24/7 work schedule
