“The idea that E.P.A. would not consider the public health benefits of its regulations is anathema to the very mission of E.P.A.,”

“I have 10,000 dealers around the world. Only 2,800 are in the U.S.,” Mr. Farley said. “So you do the math.”

Reducing methane is one of the fastest, cost-effective ways to slow near-term warming. Transparent data & effective regulations can help the energy sector cut emissions & advance progress toward the Global Methane Pledge.🎯

Electricity prices are rising faster than they have in decades.

There have been a lot of viral posts explaining why prices are rising. But many of them are wrong or misleading.

@JesseJenkins If private capital wants to give it a go, sure, why not? Just keep it off a utility balance sheet.

[Mark Brownstein @MarkSBrownstein]

And we’re building data centers at a feverish pace - with huge costs to utility customers - to enable this? https://t.co/KCBkaAAwpD via @NYTimes

As global renewable capacity grows, resilient grids will determine the pace of decarbonization.

Tomorrow at #ADIPEC 📢 our @MarkSBrownstein joins global leaders to discuss tackling grid congestion, closing finance gaps & driving innovation to accelerate the energy transition.

🏙️New study in Japan reveals Osaka's urban methane emissions are several times higher than official inventories + an overlooked but promising opportunity to cut pollution and save energy. Read more: https://t.co/IaJzPPqWzI

Yesterday’s rallies were law abiding, taxpaying US citizens like me protesting the autocratic actions of this Administration and the failure of Congress under Speaker Johnson’s leadership to its job. That he thinks otherwise shows how out of touch he is. https://t.co/eNliyWzHc8

Looking at this, Europeans can be forgiven for thinking they’re being played. Who gives a rip about ‘energy security’ when there’s a buck to be made?

[Mark Brownstein @MarkSBrownstein]

Ironic that at the very moment US policymakers are pressuring Europe to enter into long term contracts with US LNG producers, a U.S. LNG producer appears to be ducking its obligations under long term contracts to European energy companies.

2. Under the Trump Administration, the U.S. is missing the opportunity to be a major global player in both old and new energy markets. What we’re seeing is not an energy dominance strategy, but surrender in the face of Chinese competition. If it continues, it’s an epic blunder.

[Mark Brownstein @MarkSBrownstein]

1. There is a global market for clean energy and it is growing. The fossil fuel era may not be over but it’s certainly true that the era of fossil fuel exclusivity is coming to an end.

"Here we have a tremendous opportunity to do something essential for energy abundance and, at the same time, do something very powerful for addressing the climate.

And that, to my mind, is the very definition of access, affordability, and sustainability." #Gastech2025 (2/2)

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

At #Gastech2025, @MarkSBrownstein reminded industry leaders: Meeting energy demand & addressing climate impacts must go hand in hand. The good news? We have the tech to do so.

Tackling methane is one of the clearest win-wins: energy security + powerful climate benefits. (1/2)

Good paying jobs gone in Pennsylvania. Consequence of the actions taken by this Administration and this Congress to destroy investment in a clean energy future for the United States. https://t.co/v2DOmtvKjB
